Africa and the Nuclear World

write a paragraph and a multiple-choice question based on the article named “Africa and the Nuclear World: Labor, Occupational Health, and the Transnational Production of Uranium” and “issue 5″

Write a paragraph on what a technological leap forward is and characteristics of a technological leap forward. You may want to consider how or why this type of analysis is beneficial for understanding technology’s relationship with society. Or who would utilize this perspective for what purposes. You may elaborate on examples of this analysis from your own cultural capital, class or the book’s examples. You can also address the limitations of this analysis and why. Your ultimate goal in every forum entry is to see what you can articulate about the relationship of science, technology and society.
The paragraph must relate to these two articles I give to you. Please do less on summary and do more on analysis.
Use the Chicago Manual of Style
Write a multiple-choice question base on one of the articles.
The sample of the multiple-choice question
