Tech development
Because the graphs in "The Future of Work" where a bit hard to understand I looked up an article about my area of interest and how technology will affect it. My interest is interior design and to my surprise the growth rate is steady. When I first became interested in interior design I thought that the jobs would become lesser. This is because people are now able to design their own rooms on the internet and get their own furniture on line, thus decreasing the amount of interior design jobs. However, "employment of interior designers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2018 to 2028, about as fast as the average for all occupations" [1]. The reason for the employment growth in this job is because people want to be able to have human to human interactions to create what they want. The internet will not be able to tell a person what looks good and what doesn't which is why there is a major for that. It is predicted that there will be 3,300 more interior jobs in 2028 than the current number of 75,400 jobs in 2018. This is a pretty steady employment growth. I think that this job will increase more in the cities and suburban areas where families live rather than rural areas because people are paying for interior designers opinion. I do think that technology will be more incorporated into this field because it is something that is being molded into society. Interior design will not run out of jobs because it is about human interaction and connection that results in a final product. A computer can not do that. It can however, help make things easier to represent. For instance there is something called Sketch Up, which can show an electronic example of what you want your room to look like. Technology will not take over jobs in interior design, but it can help it.

As the coronavirus rages on, an important question arises: should western countries aid the so-called "third world," particularly Africa, in combating the pandemic? I believe the answer is no, for two main reasons. My first objection is rather obvious: the United States currently has more confirmed COVID cases than all of Africa combined, and it isn't close. There are several possible explanations, including the warmer weather, but the exact reason isn't necessarily relevant. After a domestic coronavirus response which can only be described as a disaster of earth-shattering proportions, who are we to go on an international health crusade? There are millions of vulnerable Americans who are currently unable to receive adequate care. Our resources need to be going to them first, not abroad, and most certainly not to parasitic, too-big-to-fail corporations. My second objection: when was America's last successful large-scale international intervention, viole...

SARS CoV-2, COVID-19, and The World

It's no secret that right now the SARS CoV-2 is wreaking havoc across the world. As of today, the United States has surpassed China as the nation with the most cases of the novel coronavirus, with over 86,000 cases in our country to date. This is all pretty crazy, especially considering that this is all because of a pathogen that supposedly started with either bats or pangolins (the only mammal in the world known to have scales) in a small localized region of China. Of course, it's not only the health effects that are wide-reaching; the social effects are also just as prevalent. One of the ways in which the world is rapidly changing in regards to social effects is through panic buying of goods at places such as supermarkets and hypermarkets such as Walmart. However, the good news is that food in general is not going to run out; there may be shortages of certain particular items, nevertheless, as certain nations have curtailed exports. What is bound to change, possibly permanent...

COVID-19 Blog

As the spread of COVID-19 becomes greater many opinions on how to respond to this global pandemic have surfaced. Just a few months ago much of the population in the United States felt unthreatened by the virus as it spread through China, being concentrated in Wuhan, and later spreading in Europe. It was not until the virus quickly erupted in the United States that we each understood the true severity of this pandemic. Now we are seeing how individuals are being greatly impacted by this virus as we are all being asked to stay home and the everyday parts of our lives have been flipped upside down. In the opinion piece about what responsibility developed countries have for helping less developed countries I both agreed and disagreed. My initial response is that if places, like the United States, are struggling with medical resources how can we even begin to be helpful in less developed countries. Hospitals all throughout the United States are beginning to have to make life or death decisi...
