  1. Hi again. Well, I figure i dont have lot of time. So Im just gonna go with the same topic and after a concentrative go through at the article : Dona & Arvanitoyannis (2009) Health Risks of Genetically Modified Foods, I really came to like it This article dismisses research assesment of GMO food as not so adequate. I dont , however, like the 2nd article u posted. It seems to be just answering question. Anyways, I am just looking for one that says GMO food testing is adquate. I hope I am able to find a good one with your help. I am sorry I cannot be in chat today as i have to go fix my laptop. Thank you for everything. On another note, I am considering changing my topic to GMO FOOD LABELLING. Already found a good article that says gmo food should be labelled, but cant find one that says gmo food should not be labelled. -------------------------------------- UPDATE: Hey I finally found my sources. I am very pleased. I changed my topic and question, but if ound my sources. Thank you for guiding me. I will come to chat someday to gain some helpful hints about starting with my essay.
  2. Hi again. Sorry for the late reply. Had trouble with my laptop. Well, we are required 1 source for 1 view. However, I just had a more concentrative go through over the 2 selected sources, and I dont think they are very primary For example, the first one; Kuiper et al. (2001) Assessment of the food safety issues related to genetically modified foods only seems to be talking about safety methods and procedures, how they r conducted etc. Doesn't really says that current methods of GMO testing are safe/adequate or not. And Ive realized that 2nd article is a bit short and only talksa about allergies in food. Is it okay if more articles can be searched. Im not saying that these sources dont have a specifi, for or against view, its just that its not very visible. I'd like something that is more closer. Thank you.
  3. oh thank you so much. Sorry for being mistaken about your name. I checked the first link again. Exactly what I am looking for. But the 2nd one is too short. I like the goodman etal article. Just so we are clear, I like the following ones u have posted:- 1.Kuiper et al. (2001) Assessment of the food safety issues related to genetically modified foods In favor of GMO. 2.Goodman et al. (2008) Allergenicity assessment of genetically modified crops - what makes sense? Against GMO. So to finalize things, i need to be certain about my " topic ". What do you think would be a better topic question for my essay given the 2 sources, should it be:- *Are the safety measures in GMO food testing really credible? OR *Is GMO food safe for consumers health? Peronally, I think it should be the first one. But I just need to be sure. Since we kind of changed the direction when finding sources. Yes, I can wrtie my essay but I will appreciate the beginning help u can give too. I just face a lot of problems in finding good sources. But thanks to your help, I am almost done in finalizing the sources. Thank you so so soo much for your help and time.
  4. Meson, Im sorry about saying the 2nd link was broken. It's not broken. But both links direct me to the same article. Yes, basically thats what Im looking for. An article from a journal or chapter from a book. but they should be like 6-10 pages, atleast. My professor emphasizes on 'qualitative articles with in text refrences, bibliography etc and not some random internet blog ". I will follow your suggestion. Let's do a research on GMO Food safety, for now. I really hope i am able to find opposing views on the topic. Once again, thank you so much for your help. P.S I was also wondering if we can do the work on chat, if its convenient for you?
  5. oh thank you so much for helping me. I really appreciate it, but its not really what my professor wants for me. -Yes, Im a university student. -The sources have to be like a whole book or journal dedicated to that view about the issue. We just have to take choose 1 chapter from the book or journal. I've tried the following sources, but maybe im just not good at identifying what view that source is taking up? *http://library.cqpress.com/cqresearcher/ *=online-access:%22Y%22"]http://www.library.yorku.ca/find/Search/Results?lookfor=genetically+modified&type=AllFields&filter[]=online-access:%22Y%22 *http://vnweb.hwwilsonweb.com/hww/advancedsearch/advanced_search.jhtml;hwwilsonid=TTMBQYXDHBW2JQA3DINCFF4ADUNGIIV0?prod=GSAB *http://www.scopus.com/home.url And the 2nd link u posted doesn't work. The closest ive to finding a good for or against viewpoint is from government reports, but I dont want them. Ive been like on to this thing for a week now and still nothing So u dont know how much relief it would give me if u can help me find the right sources. Other topics im consdering are: -food irradiation -food safety -GMO food labeling I am now researching for them and I hope u can research them as well. Id be so thankful to you.
  6. Hi So I have an essay. I am thinking about doing following topics:- *Genetically modified food and food safety *Human Cloning *Information technology in school. I having a lot of difficulty in finding 2 distinct sources[ either from a book or journal] one which favors the topic, and speaks against the issue. But all im able to find are reports and analysis of what other people are saying, not what the author is trying to say himself. Reason its so difficult is that im not allowed to just use some random internet blog as source, it has to be qualitative, with proper references, atleast 5-10 pages article,like a chapter from book. anyone know where i can find good quality primary sources that have a distinct, for or against, view point to them? Thank you.
