(3) Technology may have impacted this Arete experience because when having the will to jump from a very high altitude and knowing that he could of done it with the use if a parachute, which is a type of technology that has evolved throughout time, he still went for the challenge.
(5)Reflection: I strongly believe this is an amazing example of a person reaching into becoming an Arete person because of his determination and bravery he was able to break a record that no one has ever been able to do. This teaches us that with courage anything is possible if you set your mind into it even if means it might be risky and you never know what the outcomes may be. Luke is a great example of what dedication can accomplish. It took him 180,000 times of practice, so he can get this world record of landing without a parachute completed.

Genetic Engineering 
A. Genetic engineering is the modification of certain characteristics of an organism by changing its genetic material.
B. Innovation will impact the whole living world. As this innovation exceeds with time, people will want to to do this not only on humans but also on living animals to experiment.
C. This innovation might help with certain illnesses that are transmitted by human organisms into their children. With this modification illness might not even exist anymore and increase the life span of a human.
D. I honestly think this is a great innovation due to that it might improve human life, but might lead to certain problems.These certain problems might be the use of excess of this innovation that can worsen the human life when not getting what is granted. maybe you would want to change the way your baby looks and when it is delivered you won't even recognize your own child.
