Proposal for Multi-modal Project

The topic I chose for the multi-modal presentation is technology and its contribution to execution. My presentation will compare the methods of execution used before lethal injection was imposed and how the changes in methods occurred. I find this topic particularly interesting because with the acceptance of technological forms of execution comes many other questions of humanity. I will research why the change of execution methods became a priority, who worked to change this issue at hand, and what further innovations are suspected to occur in the near future. I believe this issue is very prevalent when exploring topics such as: abortion, execution when fatal disease is a factor, the power of technology, the impact technology potentially has on the living, and humanitarian movements. Initially, I am hoping to find the main reason for execution involving technology and how much it really affects people of today. Furthermore, I plan to explore the cost ration of executions depending on the evolution of technology through time and the issues and concerns associated with this evolution. Finally, I hope to come to a conclusion on whether or not these innovations are helping our society as a whole to progress.
