Issues Paper
My issues paper is about the globalization of technology and how some of it can help those with learning or mental challenges. The market demand for these technologies is always growing and is very competitive This is one of the major reasons that technology advances so quickly. Like my laptop I had before my mission; it wasn't quite as quick and nice when I got home compared to everyone else's Mac Book Pros. I will also be looking at the other side of the argument because I know of a few people myself who claim that too many things like video games, computers, and tv have cause learning challenges in families members or their close friends. I do have other examples of how a stray snowball flew into the eye of a friends sister and it permanently damaged her sight and she was going to have to drop out of school but that was right when they came out with the iPad and with the technology on it the school system was able to make some programs for her to stay in school. I'm sure these advances are because of growing demand and the globalization of the market. I know there are other examples to find and probably data on the number of challenged kids now vs years ago and stuff like that.

I believe technology can bridge the learning gap that exists between countries and people. There are computer programs in schools that help kids with learning disabilities to overcome those barriers and recieve a higher education that they otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The same applies for other third world countries
ReplyDeleteVery interesting topic. I like the idea of showing how much technology can do, as it has helped me a lot in my schooling.
ReplyDeleteI really like your topic and the examples you gave. You should add many personal examples on how technology effects people's lifes into your paper; it would make your paper a lot more persuasive.
