Comparison Essay:
Cancer



             The article states that cancer is a genetic factor. On the other hand, the speaker says that causes relate to cancer.
             The reading passage contends that Japanese men are five times more likely to get stomach cancer than Americans. However, they are five times less likely to get prostate cancer than Americans. Thus, this demonstrates that cancer is hereditary. The reading also tells how Native Americans have the lowest rate of getting a cancer than any other ethnic groups in America. This show how cancer is affected genetically.
             On the other hand, the listening says that cancer depends on its cause. She says that because Japanese men eat a lot of salty fish and pickled food, they are more likely to get cancer. More specifically, Japanese immigrants to America, who ate American food, their rate of getting a stomach cancer decreased. As a conclusion, people get cancers from what they do. Her second argument is that Native Americans consume natural medications that use plants and herbs. They also eat root that attacks cancer cells.
             In conclusion, cancer really depends on its cause rather than genetic factor of humans.
