The technology discussed in the paper attached below is the topic for this assignment as well.
Overview
For this activity, you will analyze your technology’s role in the event using one of the general education lenses and recommend strategies for using this kind of analysis to meet your personal goals. In this module and the next, you will draft the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission.
Directions
In this activity, you will begin the critical analysis section of your project. Include diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which will include two resources from the Module Resources sections of this course and two resources that you find through your own research using the Shapiro Library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from outside the course.
You are not required to answer each question below the rubric criteria, but you may use them to better understand the criteria and guide your thinking.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
- Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.
- It is important to draw from a diverse pool of perspectives from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
- Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at the end of your work.
- You will be evaluated on both criteria.
- Analyze your technology’s role in the event through one of the general education interdisciplinary lenses to determine the technology’s impact on various institutions.
- Apply the perspective of the general education lens to your technology’s role in your selected event. Then determine how the topic might affect institutions such as politics, community, family, economy, education, or market-driven organizations.
- Analyze how social practices have been shaped by the technology involved in the event.
- How have social practices been influenced by the technology involved in the event? For example, consider practices such as communication, cultural expression, governance, or caregiving.
- Describe at least one limitation of the technology involved that could benefit from change.
- Consider how your technology has been discussed and represented in relation to your event. How might the technology have changed to better support the event?
What to Submit
Submit your short paper as a 1- to 2-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more information on citations.

IDS 403: Technology and Event Introduction
Southern New Hampshire University

July 10th, 2022
Description of an Event
One of the events where technology plays a significant role in gene editing. Gene editing has been made possible as a result of technological advancement, with the latest event being the discovery and application of the CRISPR-Cas9 in gene editing.
Technology Significant to the Event
The technology which is significant to gene editing is the CRISPR-Cas9. CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary technology in the healthcare profession that has made it possible for geneticists and researchers in the healthcare industry to edit different parts of the genome through the removal, addition, and alteration of the DNA sequence (Arora & Narula, 2017). Since its invention, it has become the versatile and precise approach to manipulating genes. This is because the CRISPR/Cas9 technology edits genes by accurately and precisely cutting DNA and enabling the natural DNA repair processes to continue taking place. This technology often consists of two parts the Cas9 enzyme and a guide RNA.
Societal or Cultural Influences
The CRISPR/Cas9 technology has revolutionized the lives and experiences of people by revolutionization the healthcare delivery system. It has also positively impacted several diagnostic procedures and therapies by making it possible for healthcare professionals to offer personalized healthcare interventions. This technology can also be used to assess the genes targeted by chemotherapeutic pharmaceutical interventions and to determine different pathways to minimize or reduce the resistance to chemotherapy for different kinds of cancer (Zhao et al., 2021).
General Education Interdisciplinary Lens
The factor that resulted in me selecting this lens of healthcare technology is the prevalence of several healthcare conditions that cannot be treated using traditional healthcare approaches. However, the introduction of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology provides the ability to revolutionize the world by helping address genetic disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and different types of cancers. The decision to select this technology was easy because it would revolutionize the healthcare delivery system.
Thesis Statement
One of the significant technological events is the discovery of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing technology, which has revolutionized the healthcare industry by providing effective intervention for untreatable conditions such as cancer and genetic mutations.
