3. What is biotechnology ? Types of biotechnology . Biotechnology can be defined as the controlled and deliberate manipulation of biological systems, whether living cells or cell components, for the efficient manufacture or processing of useful products. It makes use of biological systems and processes to produce products and provide services. In simple terms, biotechnology is the use of living organisms by humans. Types of biotechnology: • We can distinguish between traditional and modern biotechnology Traditional biotechnology refers to ancient ways of using living organisms to make new products or modify existing ones. An example of traditional biotechnology is what human beings have been doing for centuries: cloning plants. With modern biotechnology we are not only doing the physical manipulation at the visual level but also at the molecular level. In modern molecular biotechnology, we select the desired characteristic at the molecular level and add it to the organism's genetic makeup

4. TRADICIONAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Tradicional biotechnology in industry . • The alcohol can be used in food or pharmaceutical industry . • Production of probiotic yogurts in which the whole microorganism is used that is present in the final product . • Many antibiotics are made of microorganisms . • The enzymes are also used in the textile industry to soften the jeans . • The tradicional biotechnology is used to make detergents too .

5. Others aplications of tradicional biotechnology in the food . It takes part in the improvement of crops and animal species that are part of our diet . In fact , the great majority of the croops that the farmer uses now a days have been generated for thousands of years by conventional methods, such as artificial selection and hybridization. Also in the livestock activity are selected artificially and cross certain specimens that are more productive or offering products of better quality.

6. HUMAN RIGHTS Children´s rights include the right to health, education, family life, play and recreation, an adequate standard of living and to be protected from abuse and harm. There are three general main rights: • Non-discrimination: means that all have the same rights to develop their potential in all situations and at all times access to education regardless of the nationality, religion and sexual orientation. • The right to survival and development: for example, a child with a disability should have effective access to education and health care to achieve their full potential. • The views of the child: mean that the voice of the child must be heard and respected in all matters concerning his of her rights.

7. The right to life is a moral principle base on the belief that a human being has the right to live and, should not be killed by another human being. The concept of a right to life arises in debates on issues of capital punishment, war, abortion, euthanasia, justifiable homicide, and public health care. In human history, there has not been a general acceptance of the concept of a right to life that is innate to individuals rather than granted as a privilege by those holding social and political power. The evolution of human rights as a concept took place slowly in multiple areas in many different ways. Opponents of capital punishment argue that it is a violation of the right to life, while its supporters argue that the death penalty is not a violation of the right to life because the right to life should apply with deference to a sense of justice. The right to life is for the most part an inalienable right granted to every human upon the planet, however, there are certain situations in which State actors are required to take drastic action, which can result in civilians being killed by law enforcement agents.

8. CONCLUSION AND PERSONAL OPINION we think that everyone has the right to equality, that everyone should have the same rights because nobody is less than anyone, we are all equal before a law or anything. Everyone has the right to go to court to be administered justice immediately, completely, impartially and free of charge. All human beings must have rights, they have to vote and choose their state representative and not be killed by another person. Human beings have rights, but in many countries there haven't the right to express their opinion and they explote children. Every human have the obligation of a obligatory education during primary and secondary as well a optional higher education.
