( Researchers argue that the psychological reward from friendship is an essential motivation for people to participate in social interaction (Pezirkianidis et al.). Lighting is important in encouraging people to come out in the evening and socialize. Intuitively, having a little time in the evening may lead one to assume that it can be used to interact with others)
—For each source provide the following information: the MLA biographic citations
A brief summary the argument of each source. These summaries should identify the overall argument, any significant claims and evidence used.
A short discussion how this text relates to the other texts listed. Does this source agree and extend, challenge, complicate, or qualify the argument of the other source? How do you know? Include textual evidence when necessary.
A plan for how you intend to use the source in your argument. Will it function as evidence? A counterargument? Background information?
————————————————————————————————-
part 2/ Reply on A and B You might consider some of these guiding questions when crafting your comments:
Has your peer accurately summarized the main argument and key points of each source? Do you have follow up questions about the argument of a source?
How effectively do they analyze the relationships between the sources? Are their observations supported by evidence from the texts?
Do they have a clear plan for how they intend to use each source in their argument? Are there any suggestions you can offer to improve their utilization of the sources within their argument?
Is there anything missing from their discussion that could enhance their understanding of the sources or strengthen their argument?
Do you have any suggestions of what other types of sources could be useful for them? Does their research follow the CRAAP method? Are their sources diverse? Do they offer a holistic picture of the issue?

“Navy’s Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.” Navy’s Use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, 29 Nov. 2023, www.history.navy.mil/browse-by-topic/exploration-and-innovation/unmanned-aerial-vehicles.html. This article talks about the history and development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the U.S. Navy dating all the way back to as early as 1917. It dives into early developments of a UAV and showcases important technological advancements that would make the concept of unmanned aerial vehicles a possibility. Some of these technologies include the gyroscope which is a fundamental aspect for autopilot and using radio waves to control the UAV. It goes into detail about how research and development would be hindered by lack of funding especially due to the second world war. During the interwar years funding was still an issue as well as technological advances hindered unmanned systems. This would set back UAVs but also helped other projects flourish such as guided missile systems and the development of the Navy’s first UAV, the MQ-25 Stingray. This source essentially gives a bit of background info into the development of UAVs for the navy and the struggles and obstacles that were encountered. I plan to use this source to provide background info about the relation with the Navy and UAVs.
LaGrone, Sam. “Several Uavs under Development for Next-Generation Carrier Air Wing.” USNI News, 14 July 2022, news.usni.org/2022/07/13/several-uavs-under-development-for-next-generation-carrier-air-wing. This article, by Sam Lagrone, discusses the development of the Navy’s future carrier-based UAVs, more specifically the MQ-25A Stingray and the capabilities of this platform. It outlines the Navy’s need to extend the range of their air wings embarked on aircraft carriers and that the MQ-25 was just what was needed to achieve this. It goes on to explain how the Stingray will be used as an aerial tanker having the capability to refuel aircraft midair effectively extending the operational range for ground strike and air-to-air missions. By extending the range it effectively keeps the aircraft carrier safe from long range guided missiles. The article implies that MQ-25A is designed to handle more missions other than aerial refueling, but doesn’t explicitly say it. It also states that more UAVs are being developed for the Navy with different mission sets in mind. This article essentially gives some information about what the Navy is looking for in UAV to serve their missions and showcase how they are implementing UAVs in the fleet. I plan on using this source to show how the Navy is using UAVs and the capabilities it can have in the modern world.
Memon, Dr. Omar. “Fighter Jets vs Drones: Will Uavs Take the Lead in Combat?” Simple Flying, 5 Apr. 2024, simpleflying.com/fighter-jets-vs-drones-uavs/. For this article, by Dr. Omar Memon, compares and contrasts the pros and cons of operating UAVs and manned fighter jets. He gives examples of both platforms and lists their advantages over one another. For fighter jets he examines a multitude of factors such as cost and capabilities. Using the F-35 fighter jet he examines how expensive each variant of the jet is and the sophisticated technologies that are integrated into them. The F-35 is able to fulfill a multitude of combat rolls such as air superiority, ground attack, and more. UAVs on the other hand provide less risk, are smaller, and are cheaper to produce. They can be remotely controlled by an operator far from the combat zone and fulfill rolls traditionally done by modern fighter jets. He ends his article with a counter argument stating that although UAVs are growing in the military they are far from replacing manned aircraft as they have limited mission sets and the heightened situational awareness of a pilot in the cockpit. This source gives useful info about the pros and cons of UAVs and manned aircraft. I’m planning on using this as a compare and contrast between both platforms to give info for why one would be better than the other.
