Nonfiction essay

Laurencot  DNA analysis is an important part of forensic evidence to help solve crimes. When you read the newspaper and hear there was a rape and murder and they say they have caught the criminal, most people feel relieved. But how would you feel if 10 years later they reopened the crime with new forensic evidence that showed the convicted felon was innocent? In my book, __DNA Analysis__ by William Hunter, they show how DNA affects society, culture, and how it will impact the history of the world.

Today, most kids want to grow up to be the scientist that looks in a microscope and wears the long white lab coat. The new strides, not just in DNA, but with all forensic science is inspiring a whole new generation in different and advanced careers that will help them solve problems and think. DNA affects culture by giving everyone a new perspective of what they can do with life.

With new perspective, come new possibilities. With DNA the possibilities are endless of what can be found and what can be examined to find the answer. DNA can affect our society because it helps us to lock up criminals who are dangerous. It also provides all sorts of jobs and studies to improve the efficiency.

It will also impact our history because they will be able to have an almost definite way of telling who did what. With further study, it could eliminate the need for murder trials or any trial that can find someone guilty of a crime through DNA evidence. By this it could change how our justice system has worked for decades having an impact on future generations.
