Idea of progress (Adriane TES2)

The idea of progress

In 21^st century, exist now many news technologies to change or reveint the world. This idea pf progress is positive when affects innovation or creation of news products. But there is still the big question of cloning, to whether it is good or not.

First, we are going to study the positives effects of the 21^st century skills. Second, we present the drawbacks of them.

In poor countries, news technologies are rare. So when there is a little progress to help the country, it's a good new. This is the case with William Kamkwamba. In fact William was born in a poor famers's family in Malawi. Where there is famine, where there are no electricity, no water, William learned physics on his own, to built windmills. With this process, he can generate electricity, pump water, regarge cellphones, use computer and help neighbors.

In USA, a developed country, there are news technologies to save lives. A article from «US Today» about true story shows that genetic selection can cure diseases. It's the case with Molly who has cured of a rare illness. In fact, her parents turned to PGD to pick out a embryo to implant to give birth to their son. And with his cord blood cells, they have can save Molly.

Genetic selection is also beneficial when women can't have babies naturally. They could have them with this process.

But progress can be excessive because genetic selection isn't natural and it could be dangerous. It isn't completely safe and it's against laws in bioethics. It's like a baby-shop bu babies shouldn't ba a «fashion», shouldn't be a business.

In «The Sixth Day», about human cloning, the actor Adam is in shop called «repet» because he want to clone his daughter's dog. The salesman tries to convince Adam to clone his dog, is presenting advantages like for example it will remember everything, all the tricks. But he doesn't explain the drawbacks because he want to cell this new technology.

Also, in our society, many people are rejected because they feels different because they are not as muscular, for example, as the other men. But it's dangerous because people might commit suicide. There shouldn't be any differences between people. In classroom, we have seen a cartoon where here are a lot of tall muscular men but one of them is different. He's short, skinny and weat. He's being rejected in a dumpster by the factory.

So there are news technologies which help people or countries, such as in Malawi with William Kamkwamba. But sometimes, the progress goes very far without even worrying about the dangerous effects that they could have on the hearth and in the society.
