The use of big data in the medical field aids the medical community in heightening the quality of patient care. Big data allows for medical professionals to better diagnose, treat, and prescribe medications for patients in a timely manner.

I plan on using this source to aid in explanation of my claims. It provides good insight to both the positive and negative aspects of big data which is what my argument in my essay will focus on. Big data in the medical field is a new and upcoming topic that is subject to different opinions on how useful it actually is. The source provides great informant to help me assert my claims.
I plan on using a variety of sources for my big data project including
- CQ Researcher report “Big Data and Privacy” by Tom Price (2013) via the UNE databases
- TED Talk Alessandro Acquisti’s “Future without Secrets” http://www.ted.com/talks/alessandro_acquisti_why_privacy_matters
- TED Talk Glenn Greenwald’s “Why Privacy Matters” http://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters
I believe that these sources are going to be very beneficial to the argument I am going to be making in my writing. I also plan on using
- TED Talk Kenneth Cukier of The Economist “Big Data is Better Data” https://www.ted.com/talks/kenneth_cukier_big_data_is_better_data?language=en
- Current event short audio segments
Aside from what I learned from browsing the sources quickly, I had no prior knowledge of big data and what it is used for. I believe that it is definitely a possible invasion of ones privacy. I would want to know why this topic is not more widely known and why others don’t seem to be worried that a lot of their personal information is being shared.
