Imagine Living Without Technology: Benefits of Medical Advancements

Essay on Imagine a World Without Technology
Imagine living in a world where technology didn't exist. That iPhone you have, computer you're reading on, or even that nice car you drive, all
gone with a single blink of an eye. The world you would be living in would be nothing but an empty, dark and cold place. You would have to learn
to adapt to a new way of life. That's why today, with the incredible breakthroughs in technology, the world is becoming more and more evolved. The
technology we use today, whether it is the simple things we take for granted, like a refrigerator, to the incredible medical innovations that are saving
lives, all benefit us in many ways. People in today's generation have become so adapt to technology that others, mostly people of older generations, are

Before technology there weren't the safest ways on providing people with better health. There weren't machines such as x–rays to help provide the best
treatment for patients. Doctors wouldn't have been able to discover diseases and cures for these diseases, if it wasn't for technology. New
technology is being invented to help provide patients with the best possible care, and a healthy and longer life. People who would not have been
able to survive a century ago with half of their brain missing, today are living lives nearly the same as a person with a full brain. There are people
who have a machine instead of an organ or limb of their body, and are still doing activities that a person without a machine would be capable of doing.
Innovations in medicine have come so far and are still growing rapidly.
Lastly, an advantage technology has is that it provides students with better resources to enhance their learning. Today, a lot of schools throughout the
world are equipped with technology in their classrooms that help with teaching students. One technological invention that is used in many schools is
called a Smart Board. Before the invention of the Smart Board schools had long green boards on the walls that teachers could write on with chalk,
known as chalkboards. Now, with these Smart Boards, teachers can write on them with special pens. They also have features similar to a regular
computer so they can pull up websites or videos to show

Literary Devices In The Invisible Man
If one were to wake up in the morning to find themselves invisible, what would they do for the day? Would they act as if it was just a customary
day or would they rebel for the day solely to the fact that nobody would know it was them? In the book, The Invisible Man, something like this
happens to the main character of the story. Did the man utilize this time to do things that would hurt or help society? Whether it was for the good or
for the bad, H.G. Wells, the author of the book, uses the character's actions to better society. Because of H.G. Wells's use of theme, literary devices, and
plot in the book, the readers are able to uncover the different messages Wells hid throughout his writings.
Through Wells's use of plot, it is described...show more content...
Because of the internet, people adopt a kind of "invisibility." The theme proves that this invisibility has an intriguing effect on society. As Scott
Westerfeld said in the afterword, "perhaps the internet is serving as a mass experiment in invisibility. Most online environments lack any way to
communicate facial expressions; all of us are wrapped in bandages or hidden in the uncanny costume of an avatar. And when removed from the social
fabric of visual cues–smiles and frowns ad nods–many of us react to one another as we would to something almost human" (179). I felt that this was a
very important piece of information to factor in when coming to this conclusion. The incrementing lack of human interaction with one another is
causing society's social skills to slowly fade away. When asked, most people would say it is easier to talk and interact with somebody online rather
than in person. Interacting online creates a sort of distance, like an uncanny costume, that can isolate one from humanity. I feel as if the internet has
affected today's generation, including myself, the most. Before posting a picture, everyone feels the need to edit the photo just so it can be "social
media worthy". Along with that, Westerfield also says of John Suler's article that he "describes the tendency of otherwise well–adjusted people to
behave antisocially

The Power Of Invisibility
Have you ever wondered what the actual meaning of life is and why we are here? Evidently, there is a reason for the existence of things and we are
no exception. Every day we observe people struggle to survive in the world, but no one seems to be interested in creating an exceptional and safer
world. But, what if we could procreate a difference? What if we were offered the opportunity to have the abilities that we only observe in movies,
the ability only super heroes are forenamed to have? What would you do with a superpower? The privilege of having any kind of super power
contains its responsibilities and can easily be used for either exceptional or unpleasant deeds. Having a super power, such as invisibility would not
just be astonishing, but it would increase your ability to perform activities and help people. The power of invisibility consists of being impossible to
be seen or perceived by any sight sense. You might be thinking that invisibility isn't considered a colossal power, but if you behold at the bigger
picture, you might just realize the potential of a power like this. Can you imagine the tons of things you could...show more content...
What if I sneaking somewhere in a mission and I were to find a villain's den figuring out all of their sinister plans? I would be able to eradicate
their plans from the world, and would prevent the suffering of a variety of people. I could destroy all of their equipment to prevent everything from
happening. This action will be even more useful than time traveling. Many might ask why it contains a higher quality. For one reason, we crave to
turn back time to fix our mistakes, but if there are no mistakes to fix? Life would be more suitable considering that we would have nothing to regret
about. In the meanwhile, someone with the super power or invisibility will be able to help society and shape the human beings living in

Personal Reflection: My View On Disabilities
When I first came into this class I thought I knew everything about disabilities. I never thought about how others viewed their disabilities or even
if they considered it a disability. I felt like my view point on disabilities was right and I was far from judgmental. As class when on I learned that I
wasn't all the way right about disabilities and that I did judge people based of their limitation. This class opened my eyes to how other people feel
and want to be treated. It allowed me learn about people and how they felt about their limitations. My view on disabilities has changed a lot. I knew
coming into the class that people had invisible disabilities. I knew that everyone didn't feel the same way about their disabilities. However, I did
learn that a person limitation is really up to them. I can't look at someone and tell them that they can't do something if they know they can do it.
People with disabilities also live very normal lives and don't like for people to try to limit what they can and cannot do with their live. Adisability is
really someone ability to do whatever they put their mind too. Everyone two people will never be the same regardless of if they have a disability or
not. Therefore you cannot predict people abilities based...show more content...
I've always avoided people with disabilities because I never know what to say. What I have learned is they like to talk just as much as I do. They
aren't all grumpy and rude all the time. You just have to learn when to offer help and when to stand back and let them do what they know they can
do. Allow them to do things at their own pace don't try to speed them up. Since the class has started I have encountered a lot of people who have both
physical and invisible disabilities. I've always set out of my comfort zone and spoken to them or offered to help them in some type of way. You never

The Invisible Quest
The Invisible Quest "If I could have any superpower, it'd definitely be invisibility" is the popular cognitive of the masses. Many people say the perks
to invisibility are: being able to be there but not seen and complete freedom to do whatever. But, whimsical thoughts are completely different than the
actual experience. Being invisible is being ignored. Being invisible is not being heard even when seen and not being acknowledged even when in the
same room. Humans want to be heard, seen, and talked to. And yet, being invisible is being able to have the freedom to be yourself without the worry
of other's judgment. In the literary fiction, Invisible Man, the young African–American narrator is expelled from his home on his college campus...show

He didn't have to "yes sir" and "yes ma'am" every white person because it was the status quo like his grandpa told him to do. At the end of the day,
he was his own individual and that's what everyone down south wanted him to understand. The job the narrator got injured at was a paint factory. The
paint factory used black dope to create a pure white paint. It showed how black people became invisible as the white man came out on top.
Unfortunately in the time of racism, the blacks were invisible but not blind. Before the exile from his home, the narrator was blind. Although the
alienation was difficult, through adversities and tribulations, the pathway to the light became clearer. Even though he was unsure of exactly what he
wanted, he was no longer blind and no longer blind. He was in his manhole underground waiting patiently for the answers he knew only he could
answer. His experience from the deep sadness to the realization adds meaning to the book showing that even in racist times, one could get through it by
knowing they're an individual, their true worth and their own

found to be theoretically based upon narrative inquiry, which is likely because "narratives are our way of knowing" and that "narrative writing as a

to disseminate the knowledge gained from listening to those stories. One of the difficulties in researching invisible illnesses is that while there are

In Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, we are presented with an unnamed narrator whose values and potentials are invisible to the world around him.
Throughout the entirety of the novel, we see the unnamed narrator, also known as the Invisible Man, struggle in an attempt to uncover his identity
buried beneath African American oppression and an aggregation of deception. Ellison shows us how lies and deceit may serve as a grave but
invaluable obstacle to one's journey to find their identity. Through the use of imagery, symbols, and motifs of blindness along with invisibility, Ellison
portrays the undeniable obstacle that deception plays in one's ability to establish their identity along with the necessity of it.

The Battle Royal established the relationship between white power, male power, and (hetero)sexual power, the 'self–grounding presumptions' of
dominant subjectivity, as central to the narrator's embrace of abjection. Furthermore, it equates these structures or power with the visibility of
disempowered bodies. (Jarenski 89)
He was deceived by the white man whose approval he so desperately craved. However, this lie and deceit is one necessary to his journey to find his
identity. It was essential for the Invisible Man to face this hard pressed reality and embrace the abjection. The Battle Royal inexplicably defined the
dominance of the white male throughout this time. Without knowing of the unfortunate white male dominance of the times, he would never be able to
see past the fog of lies that is omnipresent throughout the entire novel. "The [Invisible Man looked] to find identity within the roles assigned to him
by the white audience. His primary concern [was] how they [would] perceive his dual role as a participant and a speaker" (Jarenski 89). He longed for
their approval, unconsciously knowing that with their approval and acceptance his ability to establish his identity would be facile. It was vital for the
Invisible Man to learn this arduous lesson. He needed to be acquainted with the idea that the white man is all powerful and also all ambiguous.
Unfortunately, at the end of the night, the superintendent presented the Invisible Man

Analysis Of If I Were A Man
Charlotte Perkins Gilman successfully shows the subconscious thinking of a young woman who wishes to become a man in her story "If I Were a
Man" . The story is based on a young woman Mollie Mathewson, who ends up turning into her husband. She then goes throughout the day as her
husband, Gerald. "She was Gerald, walking down the path so erect and square–shouldered, in a hurry for his morning train, as usual, and, it must be
confessed, in something of a temper". (Gilman, If I were a man)
Mollie Mathewson wished to be a man because at the time that the story was written, men have all the power, money and pride women don't. This is
also easily seen in the modern society. Men are more privileged than women in many aspects.She is envious of all...show more content...
This is also seen in our time. Media portrays the ideal woman to have a thin or slim figure. Women are body shamed for being big or overwight.This
is not the case for men, and Gilmore explains this by using Mollie's thoughts when she turned into a man... " This presently passed, and in it's place,
growing all day, wherever she went, came a new and delightful feeling of being the right size." (Gilman, If I were a man) Mollie felt like she was
finally comfortable in her body now that she became a man even though her hands and feet appeared bigger than her previous female body. In " If I
were a man", Gilman also tries to depict the gender roles in her society during the time she wrote the story. She writes, " She was also a loving wife and
a devoted mother possessed of the 'social gift' and the love of 'society' that goes with it, and with all these was fond and proud of her home and
managed it capably as, well, as most women do." (Gilman, If I were a man)
Gilman used the above statements to clearly state what was expected of women to get acceptance and love from society. They were supposed to be
good wives and mothers. 'Good wife' typically describes a woman who obeys her husband and satisfies his needs. Also, women were expected to take
good care of their households. They were not allowed to have a job outside their homes. They stayed at home and did household chores and took care
of their families. A woman who conformed to

Between the Great Depression and mid–1940's, many blacks struggled for acceptance and visibility in America. Oppressed by white society and
overwhelmed by its control, they often endured countless betrayals and indignities simply for acknowledgment of their existence. In spite of suffering
so much, however, many blacks lost more than they had hoped to gain, including their humanity and identity. Ralph Ellison, a prominent author
fascinated by man's search for identity, thought that blacks were invisible primarily because whites refused to "see" them. He believed that true identity
could be revealed by experiencing certain endeavors and overcoming them (Parr and Savery 86). Ellison explores this theme in Invisible Man, which
depicts the...show more content...
Before he died, the narrator's grandfather advised his family to use deception to "overcome 'em with yeses, undermine 'em with grins, agree 'em to
death and destruction..." (qtd. in Schor 56). Dr. Bledsoe, the local college president, also misleads the protagonist, convincing him that pretense is
necessary for achievement. The narrator thinks that if he meets society's expectations–despite whether he supports them or whether he compromises his
integrity–he will be rewarded with respect and acceptance (Parr and Savery 88). These false impressions, however, allow others to exploit him and
take away parts of his identity. For example, the hero is asked to recite a speech to the town's leading white citizens, but the crowd, really a group of
drunk men, forces the narrator to participate in blind boxing matches and suffer several other humiliations. He endures them, though, hoping to win the
audience's approval even at the price of his dignity (Schor 58). According to Valerie Smith, "the mere possibility of a reward justifies any insults...to
which [the narrator] may be subjected" (93). Simply to gain acceptance, he is losing a part of himself, and this eagerness to fit into society prohibits
him from doing otherwise.
The narrator's loss of identity also stems from his inability to understand or accept his black heritage (Draper 674). He is ashamed of his Southern
roots, and he often disparages his ethnicity and racial traditions. He even fails to acknowledge others who

In those years, a pair, one woman and one man, will be holding the same position and title at the same place but in the different time intervals. That

up in the body of a man flinging himself from the top of the tower amongst shocked screams and wails of the people around him. He fell in slow
motion. I could almost see the fearful bliss on his face, as he finally ended what he came here to. His body, limp, spiralled and cartwheeled once and
slammed into the ground with a sickening crunch, mere feet from me. Dead on impact, as evident by the gray matter spilling from his crushed skull.
A skull I could see into. Bile rose in the back of my throat, eyes welling with furiously hot tears. The man lay, sprawled at broken angles, neck turned
just enough that I could clearly see the expression on his face.

Rhetorical Analysis : 'If I Were A Boy'
In her song "If I Were a Boy," Beyonce argues that many women are trapped in bad relationships and never take the time to question how they truly
desire to be treated. To confirm this, Beyonce is attempting to look at her unhealthy relationship as if she were in her significant others shoes. She
makes an effort to develop an understanding of what it is like to be the man in the relationship, and see how he can just passively mistreat a girl.
Beyonce later discovers that she would treat others how she would want to be treated because she understands how it is to be hurt by someone. She
also finds that most guys do not care whether or not their significant others are suffering because of their actions. Beyonce establishes credibility for
her lyrics by using the three appeals: pathos, ethos, and logos. These appeals are utilized to influence her audience, not let a man control their lives, but
live there lives the way they want, and find a man that can treat them better than they have been treated in their past. Also, the use of repetition and
form are used to establish her points within the song. Lastly, she wants her listeners to visualize how it could be if they were the other person, and
question whether or not their outlook would be different.
Beyonce uses pathos, the first of the three appeals in her song by using very descriptive phrases. When she states, "I'd listen to her, `cause I know
how it hurts," Beyonce is telling her audience that she understands what it is like to be hurt, and that if she were a boy, she would treat her women
better because she could understand where she was coming from. This tugs at the listener's heart because you can see that she has been emotionally
hurt from a past relationship. Also, many people can relate to what she is disclosing. It is human nature for people to get emotionally damaged in a
relationship and therefore her feelings are empathized. She also uses syntax by the way she orders her words by telling a story. If the song was not in
story form, it would not produce the great impact that it does.
Furthermore, Beyonce utilizes ethos or the appeals based on the writer's authority and credibility to influence her writing. Because Beyonce is a
universally known pop

The Invisible Man
Ralph Ellison speaks of a man who is "invisible" to the world around him because people fail to acknowledge his presence. The author of the piece
draws from his own experience as an ignored man and creates a character that depicts the extreme characteristics of a man whom few stop to
acknowledge. Ellison persuades his audience to sympathize with this violent man through the use of rhetorical appeal. Ethos and pathos are dominant
in Ellison's writing style. His audience is barely aware of the gentle encouragement calling them to focus on the "invisible" individuals around us. Ralph
Ellison's rhetoric in, "Prologue from The Invisible Man," is effective when it argues that an individual with little or...show more content...
While Ellison rises above his obstacles to critical acclaim and success, the Invisible Man resorts to violent acts and isolationism. Ellison dramatizes the
outcast and the actions extreme isolationists are capable of carrying out.
Ralph Ellison raises a significant question regarding one's identity: To what lengths will one go to in order to gain respect from the rest of the world?
Ellison concludes that an invisible man has the potential to become malevolent when his narrator states that:
"You ache with the need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world, that you're a part of all the sound and anguish, and you strike out
with your fists, you curse and you swear to make them recognize you. And, alas, it's seldom successful." (145–46)
His essay targets any individual who may consider themselves an outcast in one way or another. Ellison's use of ethos is unique in this story because it
has little to do with him, but rather his narrator. The entire story focuses on the "Invisible Man." The narrator claims authority over Ellison's theme of
identity because he himself is an invisible man. Although the story is fictional, the character holds just as much personality as a real individual. The
invisible man resides in his own world because he feels that no one can relate to his situation. Ellison affirms this when his narrator states:

Psychoanalytic Criticism In Invisible Man
Ralph Ellison's novel Invisible Man thoroughly portrays the issues of the thirties still prevalent today. This was a time period characterized heavily
by the efforts of World War II, segregation, and strive towards advancements. People of color faced harsh treatment from whites who ruled
American society. They were and continue to be a big chunk of the gears that help the country advance and improve. Without their knowledge, skills,
and hard work the nation could not have been as well renowned as it is today. Ellison takes the reader on a journey through the thirties from the eyes
of a young man seeking his identity in the harsh world. We observe the many obstacles and difficult decisions he is forced to make. These matters are
analyzed through a variety of theories in chapters five through ten including psychoanalytic criticism, new historicism, and marxism. Psychoanalytic
criticism is derived from psychoanalysis; a theory founded by Sigmund Freud during the late eighteen hundreds. It is based off of the concept that all
forms of literary texts reveal hidden fears, concerns, and aspirations of the writer. This theory is the supporting base for literary analysis, allowing the
discovery of deeper meanings of the text. In the novel Invisible Man, the author Ralph Ellison expresses his conscious and unconscious anxiety in
regards to the difficult affairs still heavily prevalent today. These include the issues ofracism, ideology, and power and their impact on an

The Invisibility Factor Of Computers
In James Moor's publication in METAPHILOSOPHY entitled "What Is Computer Ethics" Moore discusses the fact that the "invisibility factor of
computers presents us with a dilemma." The invisibility factor relates to the fact that computer operations are often invisible; they can't be viewed by
man (Moore, 1985). To explain this concept, Moore gives the example of acomputer programmer. Moore explains that the computer programmer may
be aware of what was input and output, he/she may not completely understand the internal processing that took place to obtain the output. Moore
realizes that the use of computers increases efficiency because the user is not burdened with monitoring computer operations (Moore, 1985).
However, the computer also makes us anonymous. I believe that people are more likely to act unethically when no one knows who they are. This
being the case, there is ethical significance to being invisible. Moore (1985) argues that the invisibility factor of computers makes society vulnerable.
He describes three types of invisibility, which all have ethical significance. Moore (1985) describes invisible abuse as "the intentional use of the
invisible operations of a computer to engage in unethical conduct". Moore gives several examples of this including a programmer who realized he
could steal excess interest from a bank through computer programming and the invasion of the privacy of others when computers are programmed to
monitor phone calls and emails. I

Lack Of Identity In Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man
Identity is defined as the fact of being who or what a person or thing is. A person should be able to define their own identity, but it sometimes
seems as if others define it for us. But when it comes down to it, we are merely who we want to be, even if it is influenced by others. In Ellison's
Invisible Man, the narrator does not have much of an identity. This "lack of identity" is what helps make the narrator invisible. One does not know
what name to call the narrator, what the narrator looks like, and it can be hard to interpret his personality. Since others do not see the narrator, is can
be hard for him to have a sense of self, "Or again, you often doubt if you really exist. You wonder whether you aren't simply a phantom in other people's
