    Individual Controversy in the Classroom Soc/110

    Technology has improved the human species by providing information around the world, leading to developments in different countries. Biotechnology is improving the world of medicine, agriculture, and energy production. In the medical world, technology has a big impact by helping scientists and doctors figure out how to fight off diseases and viruses. For example, there are two individuals, one who has malaria and the other has built up a resistance to malaria. Knowing that an individual has built up resistance to malaria can help, simply by taking a sample of their blood and uploading it to a computer. Scientists will trying to figure out what is the cause for this resistance to malaria, they will have to break down the DNA of the individual who is immune and simply extract the gene repelling malaria. With this knowledge there will be fewer deaths to groups of individuals who have not genetically build up a resistance to malaria in high risk countries. The downfall to biotechnology in the medical world is finding test subjects that will comply with the testing’s. Once the scientists and doctors find a concrete solution, they will be approved by the FDA to release their material to the general public. In the agricultural world, technology has helped us improve plants to become more stable and be able to sustain life in certain temperatures. With the creation of the microscope, we can see what genes we can take out the plant and add to the plant cell, so it can become a super plant. As we grow, global warming is causing the Earth to become hotter each year. Therefore we are then creating plants that can sustain life with less water than the original. We know that with every step we take to advance in this world there is a downfall. The downfall for biotechnology in the agriculture world would be time…

In modern society, technology used for production of goods and services comprise of three main components: operations technology, materials and knowledge. The operations technologies are the processes and rules used during the production phase. Materials include the raw resources required for the manufacturing of these services and lastly, the knowledge or the skillset is the final aspect of technology in the workplace. Furthermore, High-tech production industries such as biotechnology, nanotechnology and green technologies are currently being developed which has the potential to transform the nature of work.…
