Essay 3: Technology and mankind

In this individual written essay you must choose a contemporary technology and answer the essay question inspired by Hannah Arendt’s article on the conquest of space (www.britannica.com/topic/Hannah-Arendt-on-the-conquest-ofspace-2003648):

“Has [contemporary technology x] increased or diminished Mankind’s stature?”

Your essay must be between 600-800 words long, clear legible font size 12 double spacing. You must include at least 5 footnotes and a standard format bibliography. All sources should be cited and referenced in accordance with academic norms.

Please avoid any plagiarism.

Note: Wikipedia is not an acceptable secondary resource (i.e a biography or scholarly article), however you may use it as a primary resource (i.e letters, diaries, archeological evidence), as a cultural or technological artifact supporting your argument.

In your essay I recommend you

• Describe the contemporary technology you have chosen and how you conceptualize it.
• Unpack the essay question itself and (if necessary) reframe it.
• Present a complex argument incorporating evidence that takes into consideration more than one perspective.
• Suggest the implications on morality, politics, social life etc. of these arguments.
• Save your own opinion to the end.
