Although both documents are able to elaborate on both sides of technology, it is clear one outshines over the other. With this stated, technology manages to place a negative impact on modern society

Whether Ben Hall understood or even contemplated at this early stage when he was crossing the lawful line to the unlawful line Ben Hall could have handed himself over to the law, no doubt for Ben Hall a custodial sentence would have been imposed, it was possible for Hall that a lenient sentence may have been brought down through Hall's good character references, as has been testified too by his esteemed friends from the district published in the many accounts of his fall from grace.…

    In the midst of a technologically saturated lifestyle, I stand by the idea that technology’s impact on the United States was once empowering, but has began to hinder the minds of average Americans. Many individuals go about their day without recognition of their use of short cuts that weren’t available a mere ten years ago, let alone the use of developed inventions that began one hundred years ago.

Regardless of the negative and positive perspectives upon technological advances, the emergence of…

    Recognizing God’s existence has never been an easy task. From century to century, people continue to search for ways to find proof God does exist. In consulting with Foreman’s (2016) presentation, “Approaching the Question of God’s Existence” the use of proof to illustrate that God does exist is not a virtuous practice and the word “proof” should be avoided when wanting to claim God is real. He makes an effective point that there are some things in the world that have no complete explanation for their existence. Perhaps a better word to choose when declaring God’s being is witnessing.…
