Answer to Question 1

Again, this is an opinion answer. The benefits and disadvantages of using pesticides to control a potentially disease-causing mosquito population should be discussed.

Answer to Question 2

The World Trade Organization (WTO) was formed in 1993 because of globalization and economic issues laid out by the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade). It is supposed to enforce trade rules between nations, but the wealthy nations have been able to dominate. Its power comes by imposing stiff trade penalties on noncomplying countries. They have established a reputation for elevating free trade over substantial human rights and environmental resource concerns. In other words, they are sometimes supporting free trade over fair trade. There are incidences of the WTO supporting the economy over the environment, such as when they ruled against the turtle-safe shrimp law of the United States. Over the years, outside protests and conflicts between developed and developing countries have brought the talks to a halt without reaching any consensus. One of the issues is that developed countries subsidize their agricultural products and therefore developing countries want to impose tariffs to make their own products more competitive. As a result, the goal of free trade and a global economy is yet to be achieved.
