Scientific and Technological Advances
Write a short paragraph about what you already knew about the topic you selected prior to this course, based on your personal history or experiences. This may include assumptions, beliefs, or values related to the topic. Be as detailed as possible.
Scientific and technological advances are playing a huge role in transforming the existing human interactions. The overall need to develop a better environment where individuals can be able to interact has been the basis under which scientific and technological advances have been based. The key objective that has been considered in this case involves the need to improve on the current environment across different platforms. Scientific advances in healthcare have brought significant changes in the mode of healthcare delivery hence improving the quality of healthcare delivered. Seeking healthcare services has been made easier considering the important role that advances in healthcare have been made. I have also been a beneficiary of the increasing advances in technology through business operations where business environment has been completely revolutionized by the changing technology from the marketing to delivery processes. I always assume that the innovations that are taking place both scientific and technological are aimed at making the world a better place since they offer crucial alternatives.
PROJECT 1:
TOPIC EXPLORATION WORKSHEET
HIS 100 THEME 1
Part II
Now that you have identified your topic and described what you already know about the topic, what questions do you still have about the topic that you would like to know? By filling out the information requested in these text boxes, you will get a head start on Project
1 due at the end of this theme. You will be able to download and save this information in a
Word document that you can reference for your Project 1 submission.
Identify one question about the topic you are curious about.
What will be the extent at which scientific and technological advances impact on human lives?
Describe why this question
matters to you personally.
This question matters to me personally since based on the existing advances, the changes to human life that is being made by scientific and technological advances is changing at a very high rate which raises concerns on my wellbeing as human being and how I will be able to manage this changes that are taking place.
Describe why this question
matters to society.
The fact that it is very difficult to predict the extent at which these advances are likely to influence the society, there are no clear considerations in place, which are aimed at creating a better environment where it will be crucial in developing a proper and significant understanding based on these underlying concerns.
Identify a second question about the topic you are curious about.
Will scientific and technological advances help solve the existing crisis in healthcare?
Describe why this question
matters to you personally.
I believe that there have been major changes that have taken place in the delivery of healthcare. However, there still exists a wide array of issues within healthcare which are yet to be solved despite massive scientific and technological advances.
Describe why this question
matters to society.
The advancement of scientific innovation and technology have continued to have a negative influence in the society which means that the solution for one problem creates another problem which warrants to have an understanding on whether there will be a time when these advances will provide a clear environment.
Part III
You are now ready to complete the final part of your Topic Exploration Worksheet. You have chosen a topic, posed some research questions, and are ready to start thinking about what kind of sources you will need to investigate your research questions further. Using the Research Kit provided for your chosen topic, skim through the suggested resources and complete the following information for your research questions.
List which secondary sources provided
in your topic’s Research Kit would be helpful for investigating your first research question.
Secondary sources help in understanding the subject that is being discussed within the research process and thus helps in ensuring that there is better way in organizing thoughts. Thus it will include books which have been developed focusing on technological development.
List which primary sources provided
in your topic’s Research Kit would be helpful for investigating your first research question.
The primary sources that will be considered in this case will include interviews with healthcare providers and Information technology experts which have better knowledge on the impact scientific and technological advances
List which secondary sources provided in your topic’s Research Kit would be helpful for investigating your second research question.
The secondary sources that will be considered in this case will include scholarly journals, which have been developed with a scientific and technological understanding, which will help in creating a better understanding on the underlying aspects within research.
List which primary sources provided in your topic’s Research Kit would be helpful for investigating your second research question.
The primary sources that will include individuals across different societies who will provide important information regarding their perception on the technological advances and how it is influencing their lives and future expectations in their own engagements.
Now that you have gone through the research provided on your topic, describe what you have learned about your topic in one to two paragraphs.
I have been able to learn many things from the topic that scientific and technological advances have a significant role to play in the lives of individuals since the current environment is highly depended on the advances that are being made. Most of individuals have become highly depended to the development that have been put in place although there is an understanding that even though the advances have significant development in human lives, they are also negative influencing on how people are able to interact with each other.
The society has been highly influenced by the changes that are taking place and thus the extent to which this change will impact human lives is an important that has not yet been considered thus making it difficult to know when it would be possible to regulate the advances in scientific and technology.
