Having Trouble with the Midterm

Hello Everyone (including the Professor),

I am working on Part A of the midterm and am having trouble.  I began by defining all of the terms we need to include and I feel that I have a pretty good understanding of all of them.  I am having trouble linking them to Crawford, specifically the passage, “At such a moment, technology is no longer a means by which our mastery of the world is extended, but an affront to our usual self-absorption.”.  Are we supposed to be linking them to this passage?  And what does Crawford mean by “reality and reliability of the human world”? I don’t understand how Weber’s work ethic (and does this mean the Protestant work ethic?) is related to the “reality and reliability of the human world”.  Sorry for all of my questions. I am just really confused by this question.  Any help or guidance in the right direction is appreciated!
