Questions
1, Please tell me, can you go a week without coming to class by car, without using a neutral pen, without using a ballpoint pen, without using a fountain pen? Can you go a week without watching TV, listening to the news, reading a newspaper, reading a book, or surfing the Internet? Can you go a week without eating the hybrid rice you developed? Not eat pasta? No drinks?
2, may I ask, if you write to the President and say that you suggest to stop all scientific research activities, will people send you flowers, or will they slap you with that brick?
3, the other side says that scientific development destroys the environment and loads the earth with a lot of unnecessary east. But those patients struggling in pain, if there is no more advanced medical measures, the consequences are unimaginable. Facing them, can we still say environmental protection comes first? Is life or environmental protection important....
4, ask each other, you are willing to do nothing to bring back to the primitive forest life for a month? (Dare not say yes, there is nothing to say, the development of science so that the people have the current standard of living, he himself are not willing to)
5Please ask the science, where do we have today's happy life? Without science and technology, how can we have a comfortable material life and spiritual enjoyment? Without the progress of science and technology, how can we eat hybrid two? How can we wear cotton clothes, how can we live in high-rise buildings?
Isn't this all progress, isn't this all development?
6If the downsides outweigh the upsides, then why do humans all still coincidentally choose progress?
7If there is no technology, maybe we are still in the primitive society, then what is the use of the environment?
8, the other side of the debate, you always list all the bad things about science and technology, it seems that the development of science and technology has brought nothing but disaster to mankind, then why do we still emphasize that science and technology is the first productive force? Why do human beings continue to develop science and technology?
9, now people in the study of science and technology, not also in the protection of the environment, then how can we say that the study of science and technology must break the environment?
Examples
1 from the horse-drawn carriage into cars, trains, airplanes; from kerosene lamps into incandescent lamps, neon lamps, energy-saving lamps; from the Cape to the ends of the earth into a close at hand, video chatting, the mouse a little bit of the world know
2 because of Faraday, we live around the world is full of all kinds of electrical appliances; because of Darwin, because of Mendel, we can be better Because of Darwin, because of Mendel, we can better understand ourselves, cognizant of themselves; because of the magpie, because of Hua Tuo, because Li Shizhen, our life can be guaranteed.
3The average life expectancy is 30 years higher than in ancient times
4White garbage, unified treatment; car exhaust causes warming scientists have also developed solar-powered cars; look at the present, solar-powered water heaters, solar-powered air-conditioners, solar-powered batteries
5The emergence of a variety of modern technologies, laser surgery, etc., which have saved many lives; artificial Earth satellites, the invention of spaceships, such as meteorological satellites, the invention of spacecrafts, and the development of the Internet. The invention of spaceships, such as meteorological satellites, can accurately predict the weather changes in the coming period of time, providing convenience for human production and life; a variety of electrical appliances to make people live comfortably, such as air conditioning, warm in winter and cool in summer. We can chat with our friends and family on the Internet, and play games; we can read the news, watch movies, listen to music, listen to the teacher's lessons, look for information, but also can not leave the house shopping, medical care, first aid ......
6 In the primitive society and the early stage of the slave society, it is due to the casting of bronze and the use of iron tools. the use of iron, can cause changes in social patterns; in the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution, it is due to the widespread use of steam engine technology, so that the Industrial Revolution entered a new stage; in the Second World War, it is due to the use of electrical appliances as the main third scientific and technological revolution, which greatly contributed to the post-war economic recovery of the capitalist countries and the socialist countries, the substantial growth of the economy!
7 From printing to papermaking, from word processors to the **** enjoyment of network information; technology has lifted people out of the grip of poverty, and network information on science and technology has brought about the fourth wave of thinking about democracy and human rights; from antibiotics to organ transplants, from water irrigation to the improvement of biological varieties, all have eased one crisis after another for mankind
8 At 14:28 on May 12, 2008, it was at that time that an 8.8 Richter scale disaster occurred, and it was at that time that the world's largest earthquake hit the world. At that time, a massive earthquake measuring 8.0 on the Richter scale struck Wenchuan County in Sichuan Province. It was assault boats that brought liberation officials and soldiers to the disaster area by water. It was the helicopters that sent relief supplies to the disaster area by air drop. It was the excavator that opened the highway to Wenchuan in the first time. It was the chainsaws that helped people cut through the steel bars and dug out the injured. It was the medical equipment that helped the doctors bring back the injured from the death line.
9Human beings learned to utilize or cook their food from a primitive life of drinking blood and hair, to breed and raise from relying on nature, and to metallurgy and smelting of stones from unarmed iron.
10Looking back at the past, look at the four great inventions, unique; look at the astronomical calendar, marveled at; look at Zhaozhou arch bridge, the design of the exquisite; peep "Materia Medica", the Oriental canon; look at the value of pi, the seven decimals; look at the silk road, the development of the economy; the end of the blue and white porcelain, famous overseas.
Rebuttal
1, this does not mean that the harms outweigh the benefits, this is only an individual phenomenon, is that they do not use science and technology correctly, this does not negate the benefits of science and technology to mankind.
2, the other side of the defense cited various examples to prove the disadvantages of scientific development. However, I would like to say that there are always some maladaptive drawbacks in the newborn stage of anything. If we kill it just because of a little flaw, won't we be missing a lot of things that are essential nowadays?
(Q: environmental pollution this is the most direct and most obvious bad).
3, words can not be so, take the plastic bag! That is not our technology is too advanced, but our technology can not. If so, we will not use plastic bags, but the invention of low-cost and environmentally friendly shopping bags. Because of this, we need to develop environmentally friendly technology. If there is no technology, how to manage the annual floods, or we should follow the example of Dayu, with a large group of people to dig canals? Besides, Dayu also said, "People go higher, water flows lower." We should keep up with the times, shouldn't we? Besides, doesn't environmental pollution have anything to do with population expansion? In fact, environmental pollution is caused by mankind's use of technology, but now all the responsibility is put on technology, is not it a bit shameful? Grandpa Deng Xiaoping once said: "Science and technology are the first productive forces." What do you think about this?
(Q: Species extinction is accelerating . This is caused by environmental pollution and human hunting . It also belongs to the bad side of technological development.)
4, in that case, kitchen knives will hurt people, we don't need kitchen knives anymore, let's all go learn karate and use it to cut vegetables! Human indiscriminate hunting has nothing to do with technology, blame it on human greed, after all, guns don't kill animals on their own. You can't blame technology for everything. Just think of comparing the carrier to a horse, the human being is the coachman, and the coach behind him is loaded with goods, i.e. technology. If the horse is going in the wrong direction, i.e., people are taking technology in a bad direction, does the coachman hit the horse or the technology with the whip he has at hand? This is a simple example, but it shows that the environment is not good or bad with technology, but with the human beings themselves where they use the technology. It is a double-edged sword, on the one hand, it can smash ignorance and backwardness, on the other hand, it may also bring endless disasters to human beings. You to the good to make good, but if you to the bad, the result is not. Besides, if there is no hybrid rice, we have to eat half a year of tree bark, no penicillin, we all get tuberculosis? Does technological development necessarily destroy the environment?
(Q: What about animals?)
5, Darwin once said, "Survival of the fittest, this is the law of nature." Look at the cockroaches, even if the atomic bomb, there cockroaches are not still in the "well-off"? Moreover, science can help animals to continue to thrive. It's a good thing!
(Q: Personal safety is becoming more and more insecure. There are tens of thousands of crimes committed every day. Most of the crimes are related to the latest technology. Gun crime, in particular, is a major concern for the general public. As we have seen in World War II, with the advancement of technology, wars now cause far more damage and loss than ever before. It may even lead to the end of the human race.)
6, your point of view is really "not seeing the mountain"! In the past, due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, we closed the country. So that China's scientific and technological and military development is far behind the West, other people's gun shot loud, gun caliber, warships strong and resistant to bombing. When others were ready to invade us, we in China were still holding spears and shields. As a result, the Boxer Rebellion lost to the Eight-Power Allied Forces. This is the bloody lesson of history, although we do not promote war but as a powerful country in the world, we should have excellent military technology, lay a good foundation for national defense. Isn't that right?
(Q: A variety of emerging germs continue to appear, many of which have far exceeded the destructive power of previous germs. This is due to the rapid development of medical technology has accelerated the mutation of viruses. So much so that the speed of technological development has been unable to keep up with the speed of virus mutation. (Perhaps one day the human race will be destroyed by a major plague.)
7, that's because human technology can't keep up, if it could, we could develop more drugs to kill germs. Please don't focus on the bad side of technology, everyone on earth is enjoying the fruits of technology all the time. Including the four students from the opposing side, I believe that the information you have used to refute us are all from the Internet or newspapers, and that is also technology. Speaking from your own conscience, do you really think that technology should not be on earth?
