Discussion

Include references from your research to support your conclusions and opinion.

1. List and describe at least two primary stakeholders involved. (Remember that stakeholders are any groups that could be affected by a company's decisions.)

2. Who do you agree with in the video, Mr. Jaffe or Ms. Huater? Explain in detail.

3. Do you think Monsanto is a bad company that will harm the environment (and people) to make a profit, or do you feel that they are helping people by providing a better way to grow food?

4. Which is the bigger issue that should be discussed with regard to Monsanto: genetically modified food itself, or the ruthless way the company conducts business? How does this affect the primary stakeholders?
