Topic Proposal

The topic I would like to research for my final essay is technology in health care and how it changes/saves lives. Technology has changed so much and advances extremely rapidly. I would like to learn how advanced medical technology may save or change someone’s life and why. 

I feel as if this topic would make a great research essay because it’s very important and means so much to me. I want to make a difference and save lives, which is not possible without technology. I would love to learn about the difference it makes in people’s lives or how it’s saved them.

Also I would like to know if it causes any complications in diagnosing or for nurses having to learn so many new things. I feel as if it could also be dangerous or aggravating. If a machine or another type of equipment malfunctions it could hurt someone or delay a process. Each of these things are very significant and a topic I would love to learn more about.

Other possible questions:

·      How drastic is the change in technology compared to a few years ago?

·      How do other’s feel about the changes in medical technology?

·      How does advanced medical technology make a difference?

Reflection on Essay 3

This essay was a struggle towards the end because I knew that my first paragraph was too short and missing something. I finally was able to make it longer, which wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I have trouble with my papers not being long enough because I like to get my point across, short, sweet and to the point. I feel as if I just ramble on if my paragraphs aren't long enough and I have to go back and add things. It's tough but I'm really trying to work harder on fixing that. I loved my song and topic, and am so glad I chose it! I'm not a big fan of research papers but this one wasn't so bad. The Bridging the Difference book helped me so much with my annotated bibliography and works cited page. I feel as if I did a really good job and I put a lot of effort into this essay.
