A) Pros and cons of using technology and quantitative data to trace, monitor, and address human rights violations

Dear Student,

Please find below answer to your question

Abstract

It is very important to protect human rights, But some people act to violet the basic human right in various ways.

For Example,Contaminating water, with waste from State-owned facilities (the right to health)

In today's world we are using technology for various reasons such like Communications technologies, Office productivity, Record keeping and retrieval, Internet and search, Analytics and new decision structures.

Quantitative data is information about quantities; that is, information that can be measured and written down with numbers. Some examples of quantitative data are your height, your shoe size, and the length of your fingernails.

1) Below are the Pros of using technology to trace, Monitor and address human rights violations

There are several ways to use technology to trace, Monitoer and address human rights by using the method of Encryption, anonymity, and digital security. This tools could be used to defend the safety of women and girls online which will reinforce numerous human rights.

It could also be used to protect human rights defenders who are working on issues of gender-based violence and discrimination.

2) Below are the Pros of using quantitative data to trace, Monitor and address human rights violations

Due to the boosted by the digital revolution, quantitative methods are arguably the fastest changing and growing area of human rights work.

Human rights researchers use a wide range of data analysis techniques, from statistical analysis and modeling to examining correlations among different factors of human rights violation and to studying the impact of human rights violation events ethnographically.

Researchers interact with relevant data in various formats (e.g., textual, audio, and video) and conduct both qualitative and quantitative content analyses.

These data are increasingly accessible as Internet‐based resources. Some examples include the Center for Human Rights Documentation and Research at Columbia University

3) Below are the Cons of using technology to trace, Monitor and address human rights violations

For example, in August 2020 there was a major outcry in the majority-black city of Detroit when it was revealed that the police had been secretly using flawed facial recognition technology for two years for misuse of identity of real person.

4) Below are the Cons of using quantitative data to trace, Monitor and address human rights violations

Quantitative Method reveals what and to what extent but often fails to answer more on why and how. This type of research requires the model performance to be monitored on constant basis in order to ensure its compliance with the original hypotheses.

List of Cons using quanntitative data to trace, Monitor and address human rights violations

• Improper representation of the target population
• Inability to control the environment.
• Limited outcomes in a quantitative research.
• Expensive and time consuming.
• Difficulty in data analysis.

B) If comapared between the Pros and Cons It is observed that Pros are overweigh than the Cons

For Example,A few advantages of upgraded technology are that one can save time and money and life will be made easier as a result of not having to do all the hard labor.

In contrast, the disadvantages of upgraded technology are that people will loose their jobs to machines that will do the work for them.
