devry las432 week 4 Impact Analysis
Draft Latest 2016 may

Analysis
of Impact Draft

This week, you will submit your Analysis of Impact draft (roughly
four pages, using APA format).

This portion of the Course Project provides an analysis of the
chosen technology’s influence on society considering all of the following
components:

• Social
• How
  has this technology been received, accepted, or rejected? Why? Is it
  feared or favored? What is the attitude toward change? How are the
  developers trying to sell the technology to the general public? Look at
  attitudes, feelings (emotions), behaviors, personality, and the ways
  humans change as a result of this technology. What is being thought, and
  why? Is the human mind impacted? How? Are interactions between people changing
  as a result? Who is included or excluded, and why? Use Maslow’s hierarchy
  of needs, Piaget, or some other theorist. What psychological needs are
  met by the technology (e.g., cell phones once granted status and now
  promote a sense of belonging or connectedness) or created by the
  technology? Consumerism?
• Look
  at groups and organizations that have arisen and prospered because of
  this technology. Are these groups supportive or antagonistic, and why?
  (An example is genetically modified foods [GMOs] and the backlash against
  the Monsanto corporation. Another is cochlear implants that allow the
  deaf to hear yet reduce the deaf population that calls itself a
  community.) How does the technology change society, or how does society
  change in response to the technology? What factors in society led to the
  development in the first place? What do class, gender roles, race, norms,
  and the like mean in this context? Who will benefit from the technology,
  and who might be harmed (this might also belong in the ethics and morals
  section)? For example, prosthetics enable people to participate more
  fully and actively in society (some people compete in triathlons and
  marathons), and war has brought about the need for advances in prosthetic
  technology as casualties with missing limbs return home to the United
  States. Look at the workplace, new companies, and/or jobs created, jobs
  lost (or save this for the economics section, perhaps). Look at
  roles—subgroups, people’s interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships.
  Consider crime, healthcare, and schools. Surveillance cameras, for
  example, have recently been installed in New York City, and the result
  has been a decrease in the amount of crime, purse-snatching,
  pickpocketing, and so forth. Yet some fear the big-brother effect of always
  being watched and tracked, as well as concerns over “who will guard the
  guards.”
• Cultural
• This
  is a really important section. Consider the elements that comprise the
  culture and subcultures. Compare the United States’ use of the technology
  with that of other nations around the world. What is it about Americans
  that brings about innovation, or has America declined in terms of
  technical innovation, scientific research, and development? Look at
  advertising for the technology, the use of celebrities or stars or
  heroes, the applications (e.g., sports and nanotechnology), and the
  values represented by the culture. What has priority, and why? An
  example: IBM was spelled out in xenon atoms. Why were these letters
  chosen instead of something else? What new words have been added to our
  vocabulary from this technology? Horseless carriage was
  used long before the term automobile. Wireless preceded Wi-Fi,
  and webcasting preceded podcasting. Broadcast was
  a term adapted from agriculture long before it was used for radio and
  television.
• How
  do musicians and artists react to, use, or incorporate the technology in
  their artistic productions? For example, fiber optic lighting has been
  used on the stage and in parades (Disney) for costuming. The drama
  term in the limelight, for example, was derived from a lens
  and lighting system used in lighthouses. Look at literature—perhaps
  science fiction or fantasy stories—that predate the technology (Jules
  Verne, for example, wrote about submarines before they were actually
  invented and used—though Leonardo da Vinci had sketched the idea
  centuries before Verne). Are there any songs, short stories, poems,
  plays, TV shows, or films that directly make reference to the technology?
  Are there any related literary works that apply? Is the artifact in a
  museum or will it be? Why? How does the technology relate to concepts of
  beauty and novelty and human creativity? How can people express their
  humanity through this technology? An example: Scientists experimenting
  with nano made a nano guitar that actually played a tune, though it was
  subthreshold to human hearing.
• Political
• Look
  at government policy, government intervention, government involvement
  (support or lack of support, funding), both nationally and
  internationally. Consider Congress, the president, the Supreme Court
  (decisions), the rate of change, liberalism, conservatism, legislation,
  litigation, and so forth. What political factors are at work in the
  progression or regression of the technology (e.g. lobbyists, special
  interest groups, partisan views, vocal advocates, or spokespersons)? For
  example: The Americans with Disabilities Act was designed to prevent
  discrimination and encourage accessibility to public facilities; it
  impacted architects, companies, organizations, and persons with
  disabilities through the installation of ramps (wider doors, lower knobs
  and handles, larger restroom stalls), the use of assistive devices in
  schools and in the workplace, hiring practices, and lawsuits against
  employers, among other things.
• Economic
• Consider
  production, consumption, costs, variables of supply-demand, corporations,
  private enterprise, and impact on the nation’s economy (employment,
  displacement, outsourcing). Are certain industries impacted more than
  others? Look up financial projections—expectations for growth, startup
  companies, the stock exchange, and so forth—anything related to business
  and the United States and global economy. Who are the chief players in
  the business environment, and what is their role? How much has been invested
  in research and development? How will the price fluctuate? What economic
  trends are to be observed? Who will make money from the technology? Who
  is funding the research and development? Who controls the purse strings,
  and why? Look at foundations and charitable organizations, the outcomes
  and the nature of consumers. Be sure to use charts and tables and
  quantitative data in this section. Tables, figures, and data and
  statistics must be current, valid, and used appropriately.
• And
  the Environmental Impact
• Consider
  such things as dangers to humans, the depletion of resources, air and
  water pollution, discovery before inventions, impact on wildlife and
  humans (health and safety), long-term and short-term effects, waste
  disposal, and aesthetic considerations (how the technology changes the
  landscape). Look also at the positive effects (savings of raw materials
  or fossil fuels, low environmental impact, enhancement to the
  environment). For example, some thought the Alaskan Pipeline would impact
  the caribou population and its ability to migrate; the scientists
  discovered that the population actually increased and was healthier
  because they had “shade” from the above-the-ground pipe, fewer biting
  flies, and less physically stressed females. 
  Other negative examples: The spotted owl and deforestation in Washington
  State; the snail darter and the dam, endangered species and loss of
  habitats, extinction, over-mining, overproduction, pollution of ground
  water, landfills, toxic wastes, stripping the soil of nutrients, over
  fishing, over hunting, and over harvesting.

This section should include the following items.

• All
  of the required sections listed above
• At
  least two statistical graphs or visual aids that support different
  sections of the analysis
• In-text,
  APA-formatted citations with a reference page

The assessment should be well written and incorporate proper
grammar and no spelling errors. It should incorporate an introduction, body,
and a conclusion paragraph.

LAS Course Project

Objective

This
capstone course concludes with a research based Course Project that starts
during the first week of the session and continues throughout the duration of
the class. It culminates with the submission of a formal written report in
Week 7. In addition to the final outcomes, students will also
conduct a peer evaluation of another student’s project, to provide feedback
that enhances the work in a collaborative environment.

For the project, each student will identify and explore an emerging technology.
This will be a technology that may already exist but is drawing attention
because of new applications, anticipated impacts, or potential controversies.

The student will address
the historical, social, cultural, moral, and ethical issues presented by their
selected technology.

Guidelines

It
is important to note that the first deliverable of this assignment is due on
the Sunday of Week 1, so students must get organized and right into the
project.

The Task

The
primary focus of this assignment is for the student to research and assess the
issues associated with a specific emerging technology. It requires that student submit an APA
formatted, 10-12 page paper, during Week 7 of the session. Students will also conduct a peer evaluation
of another student’s work, during Week 6, and must prepare a 5-10 minute presentation
communicating their thoughts on the work.

The Papermust
be well researched and utilize scholarly resources (refer to the Week 7 APA Paper Template under the
Course Project page and the Writing and
Research Help page located under
