1. Try to persuade or give insight into why DDT should be used to combat malaria.
2. -"All of the problems associated with it in the past are down to the mess that was made of it in farming."
-"people get upset about DDT and merrily go and recommend insecticide that is much more toxic."
- "chipping away at the disease is possible, and DDT has proved itself to be a valuable tool."
3. The insecticide, DDT, wipes out mosquitos carrying malaria; however in the past it has had a bad reputation. Because of this many people are reluctant to using it. Even though it caused problems in the past, we have learned from those experiences and can now use it safely.
4. The article gives a very valid reasoning on why the banning of DDT was wrong and how now it can be safely used for benefit and not harm.

Article 2:
1. Sickle Cell Anemia is still prevalent because it has an advantage of immunity to malaria.
2. -"The benefit turned out to be resistance to malaria."
- "... they have approximately 1/10 the risk of dying from infection by the most deadly species of malaria parasite."
-"carriers living in malaria ridden locales would have had a survival benefit."
3. The article is an informational piece on the heterozygous genotype advantage when having the Sickle Cell anemia gene. These people often are resistant to malaria. Unlike the US people in tropical countries can benefit from this gene because this is where malaria is most prevalent.
4. The article give a very interesting insight into the positive outlook on a usually negative topic.]]> 2016-08-30 20:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/carlibwheeler3402/1p2lyd1lfobm/wish/120697169
