It would be quite naive to expect a life without conflict, naive and boring. After all, as we struggle to find solutions, conflict leads to new ways of thinking. Nothing ever \_36\_ in a world without conflicts. We see this in our lives; we see this in science. In fact, in science crises are essential: without them there is no \_37\_. A life lived in harmony \_38\_ a life without conflict. It must be a life where conflict leads to growth. Harmony is not the absence of conflict. It is the state in which conflict leads to positive change. Harmony is dynamic, not static. Innovation and growth challenge the status quo, shaking the very foundations where most base their values. Change only comes when we are ready to embrace it; change needs \_39\_. It is much easier to plant our feet in the traditional, the convenient, in what does not force us to reexamine our views. No one likes to be wrong. This is why great innovation comes with \_40\_, often bloody. The blood that is spilled is not always the one coursing through our veins: it is the blood of conviction, of prejudices, of deep-seated ideas that are abandoned by the inexorable force of reason. E-waste is being produced on a scale never seen before. Computers and other electronic devices \_41\_ obsolete in just a few years, leaving consumers with few alternatives but to catch up by buying newer models. Tens of millions of tons of computers, TVs, VCRs, monitors, cell phones, and other gadgets \_42\_ each year. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, the bulk of all this e-waste \_43\_ landfills, where it poisons the environment. This is because it contains a variety of toxic \_44\_ such as lead, mercury, and arsenic that leak into the ground. In theory, recycling seems to be a good \_45\_. However, the problem is that a large percentage of e-waste dropped off for recycling in rich countries is sold to the developing world, where its toxin may threaten the health of people living there.
