Society CAFOS- Argument to continue use of CAFOs

 

  • They are cheaper and efficient

  • Everyone would have to change otherwise to eat organic food

  • They make for fast food production

  •  Mass production

  •  Yummy food

  •  Has a very big consumer base already

  •  Less cost 

  • Less manual labor

  • Antibiotics are good for you

  • Takes less land than organic/free range farms

  • Time is money so breeding animals at a mass would be much more easier than alternating to plants. 

  • Fast food is accessible for low-income people if they can’t afford organic food

  • We admit that the practices of animal meat production is unethical but of course, making new policies will make CAFOs more trustworthy. We rely too much on meat, so why not just change the practices?

About Me- Lillian Wu

Image
My name is Lillian Wu and I'm 17 years old. I am attending the 2024 GSSE program with a focus on mathematics.        I come from Germantown, a city in Memphis, and I go to Houston High School. My physics class last year is when I first became interested in the engineering aspect of STEM. I plan to major in some type of engineering, possibly electrical engineering.      My hobbies are watching YouTube videos and shows, and I love music. I sometimes learn dances in my free time. My favorite subjects are physics and math, but I also find humanities subjects very interesting, such as history and linguistics. I have also played a lot of chess growing up and participated in many tournaments. My USCF profile is linked below! 1. This is me representing my school's team during Science Olympiad. 2. This is me performing at my school's yearly international extravaganza show.      I'm very excited to take the mathematics course, where we will learn ...

Data Visualization & AI Overview (Titanic)

Image
     I completed the Excel Spreadsheet visualization from the Youtube video, where I created a dashboard. The dashboard uses the different features of Microsoft Excel to make easy to navigate websites and visualization of data. For example, there are charts and graphs that can be easily made from data and customized.     I learned that data visualization is very important in summarizing data. It helps the viewer understand things such as numerical and geographic information. Without means of visualizing the data, people can't make sense of numbers so easily. Data visualization helps compare current trends to past trends and see strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, proper data collection and visualization are very important for individuals trying to convey information.       AI is a tool that uses machine learning, taking from available data to provide outputs such as information and art. There are many concerns on AI's unsolicited use of data from...

The Self-Driving Car Dilemma

Image
  The self-driving car dilemma is a test of ethics in their relation to technology. When large boxes fall from a truck ahead of a self-driving car, of which the instructions can be manually overwritten, there is the choice of swerving left to hit an SUV, keep going and risk the life of the driver, or swerve right and hit a motorcyclist. I choose the option of programming to hit the SUV.     My choice is to program the self-driving car to swerve left and hit the SUV because this option would minimize the more certain danger to people, avoiding the more likely events of killing the driver of the self-driving car or the motorcyclist upon taking those paths. Considering this, those choices could be argued to be premeditated murder despite not intending to hurt anyone in the emergency situation. Although the issue is highly subjective as all three choices cause harm, I believe ethically it is best to minimize the amount of harm caused. Credit: industrywired.com     T...
