Improved Essays
ESSAY 2
Air planes are very useful but in many different ways violate some ethical arguments and I will be applying the piece of technology to some of these arguments like “Violations of Established Orders”. I will also be applying this piece of technology to the 4 questions of that tetrad. The 4 questions of the tetrad are from Marshall McLuhans examination of ideas. Here is where ill be analyzing all of this information.

The first of the questions in the Tetrad would be “What does it extend?”. An extension takes place when a person or society creates or utilizes an object in a way that extends the range of the human body and mind in a new or different way. Using the

Meaning if this piece of technology is over used what would be the outcome, personally or within society. The airplane again as the example can be to do all kinds of traveling when flying after sitting down for a long time at a high amplitude blood begins to pool up in your legs and feet. Now if you begin to fly too often, in some cases this can cause blood clots.
ESSAY 3
We have now finished applying the airplane to the 4 questions of the Tetrad and now are moving onto the three of the seven Ethical Arguments. The first ethical argument I am going to apply is “Violations of Established Order”. This argument is used when discussing unnatural order or playing god. I can apply this to air planes because god designed us in a specific way unlike birds who have wings and can fly, we don't have wings and should not be flying. The side effects of us in the air on the plane like nose bleeds and ear popping are proof that we were not made to be flying

    I was shocked after watching the video “Flying Cheap” because I had no idea these ethical issues existed within airlines. One major ethical issue presented in the video was the safety of the passengers. Only 4,000 inspectors from the FAA are responsible for overseeing the safety of about 25,000 commercial flights in the United States every day. Another ethical issue presented was poor pilot training.…

    A Guilford College student named Nathaniel Heatwole runs the chance of serving jail time for placing objects such as box cutters, bleach, fake bombs, as well as various other items, aboard an airplane in September of 2003. Heatwole claims that he was demonstrating civil disobedience by placing the items aboard the plane, however, the Department of Homeland Security and the Transportation Security Agency do not see it in such a way. Heatwole faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison if convicted. Through research, it can be concluded that Nathaniel Heatwole was not only clearly portraying civil disobedience in this case, he was also testing the security of the Transportation Security Administration (which is crucial to the survival of a nation). Heatwole took it upon himself to stand up against the government and show them what is wrong and how they can fix it by taking drastic measures into his own hands.…

    Argument 1 and 2 both address drones.

    Air travel is nowhere near comfortable. A message from Dr. Florence Thomson written in response to an article published in The British Medical Journal in 1953 was, “most passengers are quite unable to rest in comfort in the position allowed, and sleep is quite impossible except in very short snatches” (996). In 2016, nothing changed for the better in this regard; CNN recently published an article about the disruptive passengers in flights and incidents of air rage in airplanes (McKirdy). What did change significantly is what comes before boarding the airplane. It has been 15 years since that horrifying day in September 2001.…
