In order to conduct extensive research, I will have to look for some of the most authoritative, sound, and reliable book, journal, and article resources to use as references in my research. Apart from helping me to have a baseline source of argument, it will enable me to produce excellent research which can be relied upon by the readers and anyone else who might be planning to conduct further research on this area. A careful selection of resources to use will definitely make my research to be accurate, valid, and credible. Therefore, a part of my two primary sources, I will have to add six more references to be used as secondary resources. These will enrich my research and makes it to be quite exhaustive.

This short story was written by Carver Raymond and published by the Atlantic Monthly Press in 1988. Here, Raymond Carver addresses several issues associated with the development of an unequal society. Carver argues, ‘The disparity existing within the society is based on the development of the opinion and the social segregation in the whole process.’ Likewise, racism has been passed over from slavery to the end incorporation of the current corporate racism as revealed in society.

When doing research about inequality in the USA, I would use it as one of my credible and authoritative resources. This is because it will provide me with adequate information about the causes of inequality in the country. Besides, it will enable me to take a journey through the challenging issues of inequality and racism. These are very important issues that need to be captured in my research.

This story is a product of extensive work by Raymond Carver. The 1983-published short story takes the reader through a journey of self-actualization. The story is minimal with only three characters namely the narrator, the main&nbsp.character’s wife, and the third party being the blind man Robert.&nbsp

This argument is put forward keeping in view the fact that most teenagers do drink despite bar on their legal age to start drinking.

However, despite the fact, many teenagers drink before their legal age, the Federal government should retain the Minimum Legal Age of 21 as lowering the drinking age would expose the teenagers to more risky behaviors like abnormal sexual derive, higher alcoholism rates besides hampering their brain development.

To start with, underage alcohol drinking is one of the major causes of deaths in teenagers mainly due to injuries. These injuries include not the only car crashes due to drunk driving but also include falling and drowning, homicides as well as suicides. Accidents through motor vehicles are considered the leading causes of death among children aged between 15 to 21. Apart from that adolescents are already exposed to high risk due to the lack of driving experience whereas the children under the age of adolescences have high respectability to driving accidents as use of alcohol impair their driving skills therefore lowering the MLDA would result in an increase in the injury and death among youngsters. This argument can be further substantiated from the fact that during the Vietnam War era, many States reduced the minimum age of drinking mainly due to the lowering of the age for military enlistment and voting however the results were worst than expected. There was a steep increase in alcohol traffic fatalities and other allied injuries caused to the teenagers who were allowed to drink legally at a much lower age. However, subsequently, when the MLDA was raised to 21, there was a sharp decline in the same. Data compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) from 1975 to 2002 suggested that an increase in the minimum age for drinking has saved more than 21 thousand lives in 50 states of the country. The forecasts by NHTSA also suggest that the current MLDA would save approximately 1000 lives each year. Apart from that road accidents in 1982 due to drinking were counted for 60% of the fatalities in the US however the same figure has reduced to just 39% in 2005. These statistics clearly suggest that the current MLDA is perfect in at least reducing the social cost for the government.

While undertaking a maintenance task, it is essential to make out and to trace the portion of code that requires altering depending on the perception that is acquired by executing the software and consultation with its use-cases. It is relatively easy to locate a portion of code that requires changing if the system is well documented and high-level documents can be traced to the source code. However, this is rarely the case since the only information available regarding the system is the source code itself. Such instances call for maintainers to read and scrutinize the source code, which may be time-consuming and tiresome since implementing a feature may entail multiple modules and classes.

In an attempt to decrease such a labour-intensive endeavour, various techniques have been developed to automatically identify the software’s features and to trace these features to the source code that executes them. Static analysis techniques are inadequate for an understanding of executables in a large software system and to establish its features, therefore, static analysis techniques ought to be accompanied by complementary dynamic analysis techniques. In most cases, this is completed by instrumenting the software code, executing its pertinent features via a prowler, and then analyzing the execution traces to establish the portions of the code that were executed by the features.

Using necessary tool support, this approach permits developers to situate the code of interest promptly and easily. It can also disclose run-time relationships between modules and between classes, including thread contacts for multi-threaded systems, which static analysis alone cannot detect.

Dynamic analysis is a method used to study the performance of software systems by running it and observing its actions. Despite the existence of techniques based exclusively on static information, hybrid techniques combining static and dynamic information offer a more precise or a quicker solution.&nbsp.

Solar energy is the most experienced form of energy due to its accessibility, and the ease of converting solar energy to electricity. Many solar energy conversion technologies present sustainable and promising potentials in providing renewable energy that does not only reduces the cost of electricity but could also deliver effective mitigating solutions to the environmental problems we have today.

The International Energy Agency expresses its confidence over the positive impacts that solar energies could bring to the world. The agency states that the creation of low-cost, unlimited and untainted solar energy technologies will have “huge longer-term benefits” (International Energy Agency, “Solar Energy Perspectives”). The energy agency adds that the stable generation of solar power through the use of solar energy conversion technologies will ensure energy security in many countries. and will cut dependence on power plants that use radioactive materials, which are potentially pernicious to human health. It will also lower down the energy cost, improve sustainability, will help reduce pollution, and will lessen the effects of climate change. Therefore, the agency stresses that since this innovative approach requires a substantial amount of financial investments, careful planning must be employed for an efficient expenditure of financial resources (International Energy Agency, “Solar Energy Perspectives”).

Normally, the Earth obtains a sizeable load of radiation from the sun. On average, our planet takes at least 174 pent watts of solar energy (Smil 240). Of this, 70 percent is absorbed by the Earth by the clouds, oceans, and ground forms including the mountains and the plains among others. The sun’s rays could either be&nbsp.direct or diffuse (SECO, “Solar Energy”). The direct solar radiation is a type of radiation that travels straight from the sun to the surface of the Earth, on its upper atmosphere.&nbsp.

Technology is also paving way for various cultures and business opportunities to be traded in foreign settings. Thus, technology influences globalization. Globalization is the connectivity of different aspects touching on social, political, business, and cultural diversity. The result of globalization is the development of global citizens, a technologically-sensitive generation keeping up with global trends and taking them as part of their identity. Following the interaction of technology, globalization, and the human entity. this essay seeks to show the factors involved in the interaction and what role the human entity has in regulating and controlling the impact of technological development and globalization.

Body

Technology

The best definition of technology as per the scope of this essay is the development and sustaining of innovative inventions. Technology allows humans to work and perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible to achieve without it. Inventions such as communication systems, information systems, heavy-duty machinery, medical equipment, and resource management systems perform a principal task of making human activities easier and faster to execute. With a better time management approach, humans can promote their economies to resemble developed nations. In addition, current technology is used to research and develop future technology. Hence, technological development is a process in which current or slow systems or approaches to doing business are made faster and much efficient to tackle increasing demand and responsibilities (Rocci, 2012).

Globalization

Globalization is the process and state of connectedness in terms of communication, business interaction, culture diversity, and emulation of international trends – social and economic, etc. Globalization is also the outcome of having a connected world in terms of communication channels such as different social classes interact over long distances and businesses sell to global customers.

Impact of Technology Development

The technological development effects can be felt individually by different sets of individuals. Within the domestic and commercial settings, various groups of people fill up positions that require the use of technology.
