Description

Now that you have significantly researched your topic, write an issue paper of four to six pages where you consider the main points concerning your thesis. Each point you consider should contribute substantially to the development and support of your thesis. Significantly explain these points, including source origin and credibility, and discuss your strategy for addressing them in your essay:

  • What are the main points of your thesis?
  • What do these main points mean to your focus/claim and essay development?
  • Why do you consider the points you identify as crucial?
  • How will you address each main point in your essay? At what point will you introduce each thesis point and how will each main point relate to one another?

Conclude with a thorough discussion of the nature of opposition (at least one potential counter argument) you have encountered regarding these points and the effect this opposition has had upon your thesis/essay development. Also, discuss how you will address the opposition of your thesis argument/your position on this topic.


I have attached two documents I used for this assignment.

My one-page essay As I am writing my final essay, I will introduce my topic of scientific innovations from 2000-2018 in the United States. I have gotten together six different sources from a database that discusses different scientific innovations that have advanced the medical field. All of these are from the time period I have selected and are about advancements in the United States. I decided on the question, “What scientific innovations helped humans in the field of medicine from 2000-2018 in the United States?” This is because I have always been interested in science and also the medical field. I have some medical issues, so it always fascinates me when there are new innovations that could potentially help me or others in need. As I started to look into it due to this project, I realized just how many new innovations have come to surface since 2000. This intrigued me even more because I saw that a lot of them could have a major impact on medical studies and human health care. The sources I have selected contain major advancements in medical studies, but they do not cover the most important ones. I plan to talk about these advancements individually and how each one of them helped in the medical field. This will help me to cover the main topic of scientific innovations while still getting to talk about my chosen topic of medical study and scientific breakthroughs that helped to advance this field of study. For my subject area assignment, I have chosen to research the topic of scientific innovations. I will be focusing on the innovations and breakthroughs that have been the most important to the science industry over the years. The search is from the time period of 1978-2018 and consists mostly of scientific journals and magazine articles. This topic interests me because I have been interested in science my whole school career. It was always my favorite subject in school, especially since there is always new stuff introduced into this topic. This is especially important in researching the major innovations in science.

Scientific Innovations
Scientific innovation is the application of better and efficient scientific solutions in order
to meet certain new, unarticulated demands and requirements in the already existing market.
Scientific innovation leads to the production of better and more effective technologies, models,
processes, products and services which can be made readily available to the public market,
governments and the communities.
In the past four decades the world has experienced significant scientific developments in
major fields transforming the modern world as we know it. from the inventions in astronomy,
mathematics, physics, military, agriculture, communications, medicine and architecture. The last
half of the 20th century was characterized with significant development in antibiotics, fertilizers
sustaining the rapidly growing human population.
This era has been characterized with great inventors who brought to life these scientific
innovations and technologies such as: Ward Christensen who spearheaded the invention of the
bulletin board system in 1978, Daniel Axelrod ,1981the inventor of the first ever total internal
reflection fluorescence microscope, 1981 Douglas Engelbart and Alan Kay who invented the
graphic user interphase operating system in computers, Kary Mullis inventor of the polymerase
chain reaction, Chuck Hull who invented stereolithography for fast manufacturing and

prototyping with great accuracy in 1986, James McLurkin who conceptualized the thought of
swarm robotics in MIT etc. The further development in space flights that allowed for one of the
first measurements in astronomical data of objects near space, the space landing on the moon,
discoveries in cosmology and astronomy aided by the telescope. In this last quarter of the century
there evolved a widespread use in integrated circuits which when combined with the
communication satellites allowed for the great revolutionary discovery i...
