The general purpose of this piece is to shed light on the use of technology in the United States. More specifically, the focus is on how the United States has become dependent on technology for many daily functioning activities. The use of electronic medical records, ride-sharing services, and the surge of smartphones suggests that our society is highly dependent on technology in health, transportation, and personal connectedness, among other areas. A call for action to prevent possible catastrophic consequences that could result if disruption to technology occurs is discussed. Those living in the United States are dependent on the transmission...

International relations in the world are controlled by various organizations, such as The United Nations (UN), The European Union (EU), and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). International relations between countries have been subjected to the need for improving the relationship between countries as well as minimizing the risks associated with international political disputes. However, political theories introduced since the end of the Cold War continue to affect the international relations between countries. One of the theories that have been effective is the realism, which articulates the political conflicts between nations (Mearsheimer 9). The classical realist model was once used to...

There are different ways of linking an organization’s business metrics to the IT department. One of the ways is by promoting open communication between the departments within the organization. The business metrics always dictate the underlying technology that is needed for support. Communication will allow IT to work with business in order to develop a common set of objectives and work towards attainment of the objectives. One major thing in this case is that the organization needs to identify and agree on the business-level metrics that IT needs to support. This will allow IT to prioritize and focus on what...

To merge is to combine several entities into one. In business terms, mergers occur when two companies come together to create a single entity. In most cases, a smaller investment is usually targeted by a large entity as part of the latter’s expansion strategies. The terms ‘merger and acquisition’ are, therefore, used interchangeably in microeconomics although they have a slight difference. It is sufficing to say then that mergers involve equal stock partners while acquisitions involve unequal organizations. Nevertheless, the objective of both economic processes is to create a more valuable company in terms of stock, competitiveness, revenue, cost-efficiency, company...

Nowadays, one can hardly find a person who has never used or at least heard of various gadgets such as smartphones, laptops, electronic books, and smartwatches. The relations between the modern technologies and the cognitive development of people are reversible. On the one hand, the appearance of new gadgets and apps is the result of the scientific progress and demonstrates the intellectual level of the modern society. On the other hand, the use of the modern technologies also impacts cognitive functions of the human brain. The regular use of the various devices positively influences the cognitive development of a person,...

Procedures that are performed throughout healthcare practice may be limited in different situations when a patient’s culture or religious beliefs do not permit this procedure from taking place and other alternatives must be pursued. In other situations, the head of household, typically, the male, is the only individual who is permitted to make healthcare decisions on behalf of the patient. Under these circumstances, it may be difficult for healthcare providers to obtain a decision that is in the patient’s best interests if the patient is female or the decision-maker does not understand the patient’s health status. In these cases, any...

Two types of medicine that are often discussed in the modern world include eastern medicine, which includes traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, which is traditionally practiced in industrialized nations of the western world. However, in recent years, with the movement toward evidence-based medicine, there has been a question concerning the value of these two types of medicine. Specifically, many have questioned which one is better or if they should be used in conjunction with each other. To many in the west, eastern medicine is viewed as a complementary and alternative type of medicine (CAM). However, many are focusing...

A person suffering from a chronic disease or disability spends a lot of money paying physicians, drug and hospital costs. Prolonged illness results in financial burden to patients undergoing expensive medication. Less money is invested in the economy when the population of a country spends a lot on medical expenses. As a result, the economic progress of a state reduces. Also, a sick population is less productive. Fewer people will pay tax. The government is placed at a disadvantage because it relies on taxes to fund economic projects in the country. It is therefore important for any government to set...

From the beginning of the foundation of the American constitution, the United States has embraced the democratic federal structure, allowing the people to voice their opinions and elect chosen representatives to reflect their beliefs on local, state, and national levels. The American health care system is outspoken when compared to the vast majority of industrialized nations, as there is no uniform structure and no universal coverage provided. Unlike many other countries, the education system in the United States requires private funding to progress into the university level whether the funding is a result of scholarships, out-of-pocket spending, or the most...

The way how American government operates often contradicts the Biblical principles, despite the fact the US Constitution was inspired by the Christian principles, too. The recent history of the economic policies demonstrates that some of the economic policies go clearly against the Christian morale. One of the particular economic policies that were criticized by the Christian community is the Obamacare Act, formally adopted by the former Presidential Administration of Barack Obama. In addition to that, the US government was also largely criticized for its actions during the economic crisis in 2008. When criticizing the economic policy of the US government,...

The current global macroeconomic dynamics are greatly influencing the strategies initiated in different economies to bolster growth. The volatility of prices experienced in the world’s petroleum sector has persisted and countries that rely on its associated commodities such as crude oil for development have been forced to diversify their economic activities. Abu Dhabi is one of the economies affected by the worldwide slump in crude oil prices, which have resulted in lower revenues and a stagnation of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). To steer an economic stimulus, the country's administration has allocated $13.6 billion to facilitate its diversification into other...

In this century, one of the most overwhelming questions one can ask himself is whether the positive impacts of technology overweigh the negative impacts. In other words, does technology make our lives better? It is a difficult question because technology has infiltrated almost every aspect of our lives, and many people would say we depend upon it. Cell phones are no longer simple communication devices, and they are now smartphones that give us our news, store our photos, and represent our communities through social media. They control the television and provide navigation for our vehicles. This is only one technological...
