Description of the first problem The first problem situation is about the use of cell phone while driving. The use of cell phone while behind the wheel has proved to very catastrophic to road users. The habit has led to the death of many people. The common practice disorients the attention of the driver and endangers the lives of other individuals using the road (Cain & Burris, 2000). Cell phone use while driving reduces the driver’s level of proficiency to take control of the vehicle in a situation when an emergency takes place. More so, it increases the response time in such an instance. Talking on a cell phone while on the road for an extended period puts the driver at risk of experiencing mood changes. Moods are essential in determining the ability of someone to accomplish duties efficiently. Thus, if someone driving is engaged in a disturbing conversation, then his or her moods will reflect this and he or she will tend to be more hostile and forceful to other road users. It is important to note that the role that has been endowed to drivers is enormous since their actions have a direct effect on the lives of other people. Thus, using a cell phone while driving makes the drivers to treat such an enormous responsibility with impunity and ignore the dangers related to the practice. Description of the second problem The second problem situation is about the adoption of genetic engineering technology in food production. This technology involves the direct human exploitation of the genes of a plant material, using recombinant DNA techniques, in a manner that does not take place in natural conditions so as to give it modified or novel genes with beneficial characteristics (Parekh, 2004). Genetic modification of plant material has been undertaken quite strongly over the past years as a way of solving the problem of food shortage in the world. This technology has been used to build intrinsic plant resistant attributes to pests, cold, drought, and other infections. Thus, the technique has been employed to increase the production of food so as to meet the demands of the world’s growing population. In addition, to solve the common problem of malnutrition, the technology has been used to ensure that crops have adequate levels of beneficial nutrients. Even though genetic modification of plant material has led to a major breakthrough in food production in the world, the adoption of this technology has aroused a number of controversies. Several individuals are concerned about the safety of foods produced by this technology because their possible health effects on other organisms have not been thoroughly investigated. In addition, the use of this technique to increase food production poses some threats to the environment. Some of which are the unintended transfer of transgens by means of cross-pollination and the likelihood of plants developing increased pest resistance traits. Using persuasive thinking to solve the first problem Persuasive thinking can be employed to find a solution to the first problem particularly due to the increased dangers that using a cell phone while driving poses to the driver as well as to other road users. This eases the process of convincing people particularly those who ar
