This means that the new technology is not always better; because the people of the society are often not ready to deal with such drastic changes
In an advancing world of genetics, a man named John Hammond has successfully used preserved DNA from the Jurassic period to bring life back to the dinosaurs on a secluded Costa Rican island. Furthermore, he plans to show his creations to the world in a new theme park which he has named “Jurassic Park”. Prior to the official opening, Hammond invites his grandchildren and experts Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler, and Ian Malcolm to get a full tour of his “scientific masterpiece”. After arrival, they are
literary elements in a piece of work such as those in books and articles just to mention a few, in this case we are referring to the Jurassic Park series. “Jurassic Park” is a four- part movie series that has a pretty common, redundant style throughout the movies.

After a shocking death takes place due to an animal attack in Isla Nublar, an island 120 miles from Cuba, scientific
The study of geologically ancient DNA began in 1984 with Russell Higuchi and a handful of other scientists. Hoping to determine whether ancient DNA survived and could be retrieved from samples of preserved soft tissue, they examined samples of dried muscle taken from a museum specimen of the quagga. Their attempts to extract genetic material were successful, and the samples yielded slightly less than 1% of the DNA that would have been yielded by fresh muscle; from this, they successfully sequenced
