2.0 Triple Helix Theory
Triple Helix theory of university-industry-government is a globally accepted model for comprehending entrepreneurship, the changing dynamics of academic, innovation and social economic development(Etzkowitz and Leydesdoff,1995).This institutional carriers of innovation, however, constraint each other’s behavior and another layer of functional elations in which they shape each other’s expectations. The aim of the Helix-conception is fulfilled through the resource of the knowledge which produces additional value for society leading the sustainable development.
Etzkowitz and Leydesdoff (1995 and 2000) proposal of the triple helix model was to explain the structural development s in the knowledge-based economy. In most

2.1 The Quadruple Helix
The Quadruple Helix embeds the Triple Helix by adding as a fourth helix the ‘media-based and culture-based public’ and ‘civil society’. The Quadruple Helix already encourages the perspective of the knowledge society, and of knowledge democracy for knowledge production and innovation. In a Quadruple Helix understanding, the sustainable development of a knowledge economy requires a coevolution with the knowledge society.

The problem that resumes however are that, these institutions do not work in tandem with other triple helix actors, especially industry. Thus, there is the need to utilize a dynamic Triple Helix III development approach as a focal point for Ghana’s socio-economic development. The Dynamic System proposed based on Triple Helix III will:
i. Strive on behavioral view of the significant dynamics of a system, a focus inward on the characteristics of a system that themselves generate or exacerbate the perceived problem ii. Thinking of all concepts in the real system as continuous quantities interconnected in loops of information feedback and circular causality iii. Identifying independent levels in the system and their inflows and outflows (rates) iv. Formulating a model capable of reproducing, by
5. How will you operationalize your DV? What will you use to measure whether the outcome was different for your IV groups? I will operationalize the Dependent variable by observing their actions during the experiment. 6.
The article, “Taking Multitasking to Task” by Mark Harris demonstrates the effects of having too much technology in our lives and observes the effects of technology on his life and society. Harris begins his essay referring to personal anecdotes of his use of technology and how it affects his life drastically to a point where there is no return from it. In the book, Fahrenheit 451, Montag’s and Faber’s observation of effects of technology in society, are related to Harris’s observations about technology because society doesn’t want to utilize technology it wants to become consumed by it. Harris’s observation of technology in the society we live in today relates to Montag’s and
That’s why the future of knowledge and culture no longer lies in books or newspapers or TV shows or radio programs or records or CDs. It lies in digital files shot through our universal medium at the speed of light” (89). By looking at great monuments of culture over time, all of those people were not connected to the internet, which made their mind much more attentive because they were able to engage in deep concentration. To be able to preserve this, we have to be determined to practice that “old” way of
Importance of Complex Thinkers in Society Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 presents a dystopian world where humans lack individual thought, because they’re expected to follow the societal norm of loathing books and using technology instead. Bradbury teaches readers that without literature, individuals fail to form ideas of their own and they all conform to the same way of thinking. In the article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid,” Nicholas Carr writes about how people who would once be able to quickly interpret information now find it difficult to cognitively function the same as before, because of the increased use of technology.
This essay sets out to challenge the status quo, that the theory of technological determinism is naïve and will argue by utilising Wyatt’s assertions that technical determinism is more complicated than social shaping theorieswould have us believe. She describes technological determinism as having four distinct types,justificatory, descriptive, methodological and normative. Themes will be explored by examining the film ‘The Matrix’ and the novel ‘Frankenstein’ showing how science and technology is represented in popular culture. Wyatt argues technology causes or affects social change and this essay set out to demonstrates her argument. It will be argued that by opening up technical determinism to more explanations of sociological analysis will
Today’s innovation is the internet, and the internet is proving to be just the same. Carr says that the attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and socialization of modern day society, or rather the lack of, is to the blame of the internet. Although Carr creates a strong argument, and does nothing but continually back up his thesis with good facts, but it is his actual thesis that I disagree with. Carr constantly states historical and scientific facts that show how the internet is following a path from the past.
The chemical balance and processes of an individual’s brain. b) Psychological: This part of the model is made up with: The cognitive functions and behaviours Disorders of thinking and reasoning i.e. self-control Perception and Motivation. 4.
The American Historian and Diplomat George Kennan once said that “The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.” Humans must heavily analyze the past via themes when reviewing sources in order to understand the past through our ancestors eyes. This is why the themes of the 3Cs, Change, Comparison and Connection are fundamental. Connection must be considered due to the way countries can affect each other, such as the way the Industrial Revolution had a widespread impact across the world.
Science and technology are responsible for where the human race is today. Science is responsible for mankind’s creations like modern medicine and the ability to travel to space. Just as technology is responsible for the human race’s ability to have computers in the hands of mankind and to communicate with another person that is on the other side of the globe. Science and technology have become so intertwined with life that it seems impossible to live without it; though, the citizens of the City in Ayn Rand 's Anthem know how to do just that.
In places such as ancient Egypt, China, and Greece, technological advance, scientific knowledge, and the improvement in the quality of life would not be possible without investing heavily in research and development and in public works, none of which would be possible without their prosperous circumstances. However, development of
Clay Shirky, the author of “Does the internet make you smarter?” wrote about how ignorance has poisoned the internet with incorrect information. Not only does technology has its flaws, but so do books and novels dating back to the Protestant Reformation. Even though many people are against the internet Shirky reassures that if used correctly and appropriately, then it can become a very useful tool that can “tap our cognitive surplus”. The increased collaboration of technology is important to society for the reason that the internet is full of valuable knowledge that can be claimed very quickly and easily. Increased collaboration is absolutely a benefit.
A social system based on inequality and submission of the individual to feudal lords and the church cannot be associated with natural and human nature. However, people will immediately start to live in accordance with the natural law and will find harmony and happiness if somebody enlighten their minds, explaining to them the truth. For scholars, the mind can be "alpha and omega" of everything: world`s nature and the way of gaining the knowledge, the only criterion of truth, and a means of rehabilitation and improvement of human society. XVIII century is also called the century of Intelligence, the smartest of all ages.
