Identify and explain one type of analysis Cal Newport is conducting on new technologies such as social media and smartphones. Cal Newport provides a detailed analysis of the effects of social media and smartphones on peoples’ behavior. In his report, he observes that at the start of these new technologies, they look like the tools to make lives more comfortable and more manageable. For instance, He notes that at its genesis in 2004, Facebook seemed like an excellent way to check up on classmates, and in 2007 the iPhone had revolutionary features that were widely celebrated to make lives more manageable.

Understanding the historical development of representative democracy is pertinent to scholars. Scholars can determine for what reasons democracy was conceived and thus establish flaws that undermine it today. Proponents of democracy envisioned a society where equality, respect for human rights, and prudent representation of all people in ruling authorities were observed. Classical liberalism stressed the need to respect individual rights, freedom, and free markets through capitalism. John Locke believed in constitutionalism, inalienable rights- freedom and equality of all human beings, and a social contract between the rulers and ruled.  John Stuart Mill participated in the development of democracy through his advancement of ideologies of utilitarianism and consequentialism. Stuart Mill opined that the actions of an entity should be measured based on outcomes and that such outcomes should be in favor of the majority. In essence, democracy is a rule of the people, by the people for the people (Meeta Rani, Lecture- Public Sphere-Liberalism, 26, 2020). An analysis of…
