An artefact that plays a major part in my popular culture is the “Cochlear Implant”. A Cochlear implant is an electronic device that has been surgically implanted to help a person who is profoundly deaf, or severely hard of hearing to receive sound. These devices are made to replace the sensory hair cells in the cochlear of which have been damaged, the Cochlear Implant enables sufficient amount of hearing, allowing a better understanding of speech. However the quality of the sound is different from natural hearing, as less sound information is being received and processed by the brain. I have a Cochlear Implant (or CI for short) myself, making it a major part of my popular culture experience. The Cochlear implant is recognised as a “cure” for deafness; however there is commotion from the “Deaf” culture that the CI is a threat to their culture and their form of communication, sign language. I disagree and believe that the CI is an optional cure for deafness not a threat to their culture.

Electronic cigarettes are also known as e-cigarettes by the general public. E-cigarettes are designed to deliver nicotine with flavorings and other chemicals to users in vapor instead of smoke. They are marketed as a healthier alternative to regular cigarettes. E-cigarettes are produced to resemble traditional tobacco cigarettes, cigars or pipes. E-cigarettes are also designed to look like everyday items. They can look like pens or USB memory sticks for your computer. There are more than 250 different e-cigarette brands currently at stores for the consumer to choose from while shopping.

One of the strengths of the article was that the researchers used a great deal of valid and reliable evidence and research to substantiate their findings. Another strength was that the study used a rather large subject base of nearly 10,000 participants that matched the criteria of being between 12-31 and white or black. There was a great amount of statistics presented and visual graphs and charts were used to represent and describe these statistics for those who are more visual learners. The researchers did a thorough job describing and presenting the results of the study through various analyses, graphs, and charts as…

Alternative smoke-free nicotine products, namely electronic cigarettes, have been a crucial step in smoking cessation. While, further research still needs to be done on the use of electronic cigarettes to determine the safety, the research that has been done shows that it is much less harmful than conventional cigarettes.

(Regulating Additional Tobacco Products , 2015) The current Food and Drug Administration’s policy requires that any tobacco products made after 2007 would require a premarket review before it could be sold in stores.
