It is believed that the disadvantages are greater because of how many amazing changes have taken place in the world as mankind has entered the 21st century. While people are happy for the rapid development of science and technology, they have experienced better uneasiness and even disaster. In addition to the panic over the development of high technology, especially biotechnology, wars and diseases seem to have brought mankind directly to the gates of hell.
The 2003 SARS epidemic, including all the speculation about SARS, is directly linked to a growing global concern: biosafety. Biosafety is a scientific and technological system of detection, evaluation, monitoring, prevention and management of biological hazards, is the study of various biological factors on human health, the application of existing theoretical knowledge, technology, engineering design and equipment, etc., to prevent personnel engaged in related work, laboratories and the environment from being potentially infectious substances and biotoxic substances of the hazards of an emerging fringe discipline. Biosecurity issues are manifested in at least the following aspects:
The great harm of infectious diseases
Infectious diseases, including human, animal and plant infectious diseases, especially human infectious diseases is the most important biosafety issues, infectious diseases are still the first cause of death in the world, in our country, infectious diseases are still a serious threat to the health of the people and national security. the SARS epidemic is a strong proof of this The SARS epidemic is a strong proof. In addition hepatitis, tuberculosis, influenza and other infectious diseases are still prevalent or outbreaks in some parts of the country and some countries and regions of the world every year
Potential Threats of Biological Weapons and Biological Terrorism
The entire international community has made unremitting efforts to prohibit biological weapons in the 20th century, and some progress has been made. However, in the 21st century, the potential threat of biological weapons has greatly increased, and some countries and regions may still continue to research and develop biological weapons. In addition, the rapid development of biotechnology has greatly increased the potential threat of biological weapons, and bioterrorism, which is symbolized by the anthrax incident in the U.S., has posed a real threat to international security. The anthrax incident in the United States is a real threat to international security. Yuen Kwok-yung, head of the Department of Microbiology at the University of Hong Kong, was the first scholar to isolate a coronavirus and to discover that a variant of the coronavirus was the pathogen of SARS, an RNA virus that can easily recombine with other viral genes to become a new virus. Many experiments have shown that new viruses produced in this way are more virulent than their parent viruses. Coronaviruses can be found in many animals, and they can easily mutate, making them extremely dangerous. Yuan therefore believes that the SARS virus has great potential to become a pathogen for making biochemical weapons in addition to smallpox.
Negative effects of biotechnology
The negative effects of biotechnology are mainly manifested in the following ways: First, when people develop and utilize biotechnology, unexpected safety problems may arise. Just as the current widespread concern about the various types of genetically modified organisms living environment after the release of the harm posed to biodiversity. In addition, genetically engineered drugs and vaccines, genetically modified foods, gene therapy, and so on, may have similar problems. Misuse of biotechnology and unethical application of biotechnology may also pose significant safety risks. The research on somatic cell cloning of human beings is a prominent example.
Threats to Biological Resources and Biodiversity
From the perspective of biosecurity, the invasion of foreign species and the loss of biological resources may cause great damage to national interests. The environmental release of genetically modified organisms poses a great threat to biodiversity.
Safety hazards in microbiology laboratories
Compared with other physical and chemical laboratories or other kinds of laboratories, microbiology and biomedical laboratories are special laboratories in which everyone working in them, as well as the surroundings with which they come into contact, have a high risk of suffering from infectious diseases or affecting their health. Negligence and accidents in the management of microbiological laboratories can lead not only to infections among laboratory workers, but also to environmental contamination and large-scale population infections. Accidents of accidental infection in laboratories at home and abroad are not uncommon, and in serious cases, thousands of laboratory animals have to be slaughtered, even leading to the death of laboratory staff.
At present, with the rapid development of biotechnology, biosafety has become a major proposition that affects the whole country and the whole world in terms of politics, economy, security and peace. In recent years, especially after the anthrax infection in the U.S., biosafety has attracted much attention both at home and abroad, and biosafety terminology is often found in governmental or nongovernmental organizations' documents and all kinds of media, and the global pandemic of SARS will undoubtedly make countries all over the world pay more attention to biosafety and take it as a component of national security. component of national security.
With the development of the economy, the speeding up of the people's living rhythm and the improvement of the living standard, the use of plastic is increasing day by day. 1996, China's use of plastic packaging amounted to 2.43 million tons, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20%, especially in the city, along the main transportation routes, the rapid increase in plastic waste in the garbage in the tourist attractions.
According to the survey, Beijing's annual output of domestic garbage has reached 3 million tons, of which waste plastics accounted for about 3%, an annual growth rate of
48%. Coastal cities in the garbage in the plastic component is higher, up to 8-10%. These waste
Plastic in the proportion of garbage if calculated by volume, has reached more than one-third, and greatly increased
The difficulty and cost of garbage disposal.
Because of waste plastic hundreds of years are difficult to degrade, if discarded in the natural environment, will give mosquitoes, flies and
bacteria to provide a breeding ground for survival; if buried underground, it is easy to contaminate the groundwater, impede the growth of plant roots
system, destroy the quality of the soil, affecting the crop yield; if incineration with fire, will produce a variety of toxic gases
body. "White pollution" has become a major environmental hazard in our society, seriously hindering the sustainable development of our country's
economy and environment.
Currently China's annual consumption of disposable tableware about 10 billion, mainly for the foam plastic products, to prohibit
Stop the production and sale of these large amount of disposable foam plastic tableware, we must develop and produce its alternative
Supplies, green disposable tableware came into being. Experts believe that the development
and production of green disposable tableware is becoming China's new environmental protection industry.
In mid-December, the Ministry of Science and Technology, in conjunction with the State Economic and Trade Commission, the State Environmental Protection Administration, the Ministry of Railways jointly convened a green
disposable tableware technology development exchanges, at which the reporter interviewed the head of the China Rural Technology Development Center
Wang Zhixue, as well as several producers of business managers.
Wang Zhixue said: China's development and production of green disposable tableware according to the type of raw materials, can be divided into paper
pulp, rice husk, straw and starch. China's existing hundreds of enterprises to produce paper disposable tableware,
Annual production capacity of about 3 billion.
Paper tableware raw materials in the production process of serious pollution, high cost, and its own strength and waterproof and wet
poor, therefore, its popularization and application of greater limitations, people will naturally look elsewhere
place, to the benefits of science and technology. Such as rice husk as raw materials for the production of rice husk tableware, China now has more than a dozen of this
type of enterprise, the annual production capacity of about 150 million; straw tableware to crop straw as the main
raw materials, China now also has more than a dozen manufacturers, with an annual production capacity of 75 million; starch tableware to potato
starch as the main raw material, it is good degradation, can do feed after recycling. Recycling can be done after the feed. In short, the country on a green
disposable tableware research and development is very important, through the scientific and technological research, Spark Plan, Torch Plan and other scientific and technological development
development plan to give strong support to a number of enterprises in the production of green disposable tableware technology has been relatively mature, with
prepared for the basis of industrialization.
Wuhan Far East Green World Group is the starch as raw material, green disposable tableware technology
Technology and development, economic benefits of the company's beginning to take shape. The company's president Su Xiaohai's experience is quite legendary:
He originally studied at the Hubei Light Industry Institute of Arts and Crafts, in 1984 into the Wuhan University to read a master's degree in Philosophy
degree, and then study and work in Germany, Europe's environmental protection has touched him a great deal, and gave birth to the return to China to engage in
environmental protection industry idea. Su Xiaohai told reporters: I studied arts and crafts, is a bit of aesthetics, I today
day into the green tableware such as environmental protection business, is the beginning of my initial understanding of the beauty; and aesthetics of the extension
extension, in the final analysis, is also a philosophy.
Between 1992 and 1996, the Far East Green World Company developed recycled cardboard disposable tableware and reed-pulp
molded food and drink utensils, due to the low technological content, the scale of production has not been able to expand. 1996, the company
Sent officers to study the European market biodegradable packaging supplies technology, that the development of plant starch production
Total degradation of packaging products, the development of a fully degradable packaging products, the company has been working to develop a new technology to meet the demand for biodegradable food and drinks.
Full degradation of disposable tableware may be a way to eliminate "white pollution". 1997, by a group of food
products, chemical, mechanical experts, the company focused on investment in the development of full degradation of disposable food and beverage supplies, the project
included in the 1997 national torch plan project. The project is listed in the national torch program in 1997.
They absorbed foreign advanced technology, combined with the domestic production process of paper tableware for a series of innovations: the use of
the domestic resource-rich sweet potatoes, corn and other starch as the main raw material, instead of a single foreign higher-priced
Potato starch; in the raw materials of sweet potato starch increased by 20% of natural fibers, so that catering products increase the strength of the obvious
The company also used foodstuffs and food products to develop a new product line, which was developed by the company.
degree, and then the use of food puffing processing technology to make products with light weight and softness; increase the strength of the surface spraying
processing and shaping equipment, so that the production of catering supplies with waterproof, oil-proof, heat-resistant features, etc.. Su Xiaoxiao
Hai made a vivid analogy: it is like building materials in the reinforced concrete, sweet potato starch is that cement, and
chopped and stirred into a variety of hay and plant roots and stems is that reinforced steel, so as to make the tableware strength obviously
enhanced.
The starch-based tableware produced by the Far East Green World was tested by the German SGS organization with reference to the international food
packaging standards, and it was not deformed at 100 degrees Celsius for more than two hours in hot water and hot oil, and it has excellent temperature preservation
performance. Because the starch and additives are natural plant raw materials, the product degradation performance is excellent, by the National Environmental
Environmental Testing Center test shows that about 10 days can be degraded by more than 90%, within a month can be completely degraded.
It is reported that because the project uses plant starch and plant fiber, the cost is low, each with a lid lunch
box cost of about 0.12 yuan, no lid lunch box and bowl, plate cost of about 0.07 yuan, with a broad market prospects.
At present, the Far East Green World Company intends to invest 160 million yuan, the construction of an annual output of 5 billion pairs of disposable chopsticks, 3.5 billion of various types of
bowls, trays, boxes and other products of large-scale production base of green biodegradable disposable tableware, the project reaches capacity, the annual production value of 625 million yuan can be
new, new profits and taxes of about 130 million yuan. The civil engineering of the base has been started in March this year,
has built a standard workshop of 20,000 square meters, if the follow-up funds can be guaranteed, it is expected that the end of 1999 can reach production.
Su Xiaohai said: our scientific and technological advantages are obvious, the future can create the social benefits are also obvious: starch
made of disposable hygiene chopsticks, its functional indicators can completely replace the disposable wooden chopsticks, and only this one, that is
could be the country each year, saving nearly 500,000 cubic meters of timber resources; the group if you can reach the production, it is expected that each year, we need to use 200,000 tons!
More than 200,000 tons of sweet potatoes are expected to be processed into more than 100,000 tons of starch raw materials, which can also lift more than 100,000 people out of poverty in poor areas and promote
the development of agricultural industrialization in old areas.
Shantou Green Heng Industrial Co., Ltd. from the previous few years, the rice husk system of green disposable tableware development, at present
previously also has a preliminary industrial scale production capacity, the company produces a disposable packaging containers made of rice husk, especially
particularly to provide the use of supermarkets and other products such as food packaging containers, has begun to test market Japan, Taiwan, the United States and so on
Location of the company is the first time in the United States to produce the rice husk system.
The company has already begun trial sales in Japan, Taiwan, and the United States.
The green disposable tableware produced by Green Heng is made by crushing and sieving rice husk, then mixing it with several kinds of edible organic
polymer bonding agents and water, and then going through the processes of stamping and molding, drying, and spraying, to produce different shapes of
plates, bowls, and other utensils.
Ji Xiaopeng, general manager of Green Heng Business Co., said: disposable tableware to rice husk as raw material, not only in our country
resource-rich, inexhaustible, and it can be quickly degraded in the soil after use, which can be said to be two birds with one stone.
Green Heng has a production line in operation, its investment of about 9.8 million yuan, production capacity of 400,000
tableware / day, currently up to 200,000 tableware / day. Annual output value of about 36 million yuan, the expected payback period of about
one and a half years, investment profit of about 30%, production technology and product quality has passed the Guangdong Provincial Science and Technology Commission organized
Technical appraisal and food hygiene departments of the test. According to reports, the company in order to better market the product, regulation
model business, intends to set up a group of companies in the near future, and to invest in technological transformation, with a view to making the production
line of higher degree of automation.
According to the Ministry of Science and Technology held under the auspices of the green tableware technology development exchanges, July 18, 1998, Wen Jiabao
Vice Premier of the Taihu Lake Basin Water Pollution Prevention and Control Conference, specifically to solve the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake,
Railway along the "white pollution" within one year, and asked the relevant departments of the State Council to focus on three key areas of work. The relevant departments of the State Council were asked to focus on three tasks, one is to strengthen management,
prohibit littering; the second is to stop the use of disposable foamed plastic tableware; and the third is to expeditiously develop and mass production of alternatives
products. November 14, Vice Premier Li Lanqing in the 12th National Patriotic Health Campaign Committee work conference, also
proposed foamed plastic tableware The issue of promoting the application of alternatives. It seems that the green disposable tableware has caused the central leadership
comrades as well as science and technology, environmental protection and other relevant departments attaches great importance to it as a new environmental protection industry, can be described as
Born and just in time, now, both the need to be able to climb the peak of science and technology personnel to continue to engage in research and development
Development, need to be our understanding of business, good management of the entrepreneurs to increase Technological innovation and market development, but also need us
the visionary financiers, venture capitalists, give green disposable tableware industrialization to sufficient
enough capital investment.
China's green disposable tableware development and industrialization of most of the enterprises are currently smaller production scale, the ability to withstand the wind
Weak, and many of them are private enterprises, the need for government departments to give enough industrial policy
Support and guidance, a better start, so that the emerging green industry can be healthy, sustainable development
Development.
Development.
The development of science and technology is a big advantage or disadvantage of the debate words
Positive: when mankind for science and technology at the same time, please do not forget that science and technology can also be the same to the evil heart with the devilish power
Human beings will be ruined by science and technology, but also based on modern science and technology on the development of human beings in all aspects of the distortion, which is centrally manifested in the social relations, the spiritual realm and the ethical and moral three
The development of science and technology is the most important part of the development of human beings. p>
■Opposing side: science and technology is the strongest shield to protect human beings, we believe that the continuous improvement of science and technology will bring human beings into a more beautiful and mysterious realm
Human beings will not be ruined by science and technology, because the course of scientific and technological development has proved that, the devil is one foot high, and the road is ten feet high, and the problems that science and technology have brought to human beings can be solved by the technology itself through the further development of science and technology
Wu Tian (the positive side of the first defense): First of all, anything has positive and negative sides, the benefits of science and technology do not need me to spend more words, later the other side of the defense must be spilling, however, often we think to play down or even ignored is the negative impact of it. Unlike other things, the opposite side of technology is as sharp as a blade and as sharp as a sword, which is what we often call a double-edged sword. However, if you think that mankind has been awake to realize the existence of double-edged sword, then you are a bit too naive, when mankind time and time again proudly said that the new science and technology is the fastest possible to apply, and show how efficient we are human beings, you have ever thought, this also means that the negative effects of science and technology too late to understand, or do not want to understand, it is the beginning of the disaster, the destructive nature of science and technology is the embodiment of The destructive effects of technology are an example of the irreversibility of this trend.
Second, the uncertainty of modern technological development has made technology a double-edged sword, turning it into the sword of Damocles. Humanity's use of science and technology has long reached the point of impatience, the accumulation of years and years, making the negative effects of science and technology is at any time in the global outbreak, which is the deeper crisis of the destructive trend of science and technology.
Third, the high degree of dependence on science and technology makes the sword of Damocles ready to move. Humans have a high degree of trust in science and technology and subjective dependence on the sword can be arbitrary power, one touch, this third trend leads directly to the technology is the power to destroy mankind, when mankind for the science and technology at the same time, please do not forget, science and technology can also be the same to the evil heart with the devilish power.
Zheng Wei (first defense): First of all, we would like to point out that the negative effects of technology can not be blamed on technology, on the contrary, it is precisely the human failure to scientifically understand the world as a whole, as well as irrational use of science and technology caused by the evil consequences.
Secondly, the other side overestimates the difficulties that science and technology have brought to mankind, but underestimates mankind's ability to solve these difficulties. The fact that we can't solve the problems of science and technology doesn't mean that we can't solve them in the future. We believe that mankind will not be ruined by science and technology, because the course of scientific and technological development has proved that the devil is one foot taller, the road is ten feet taller, and the difficulties brought by science and technology to mankind can be solved by the further development of science and technology itself. 70's scientists used to predict that mankind will face an energy crisis in the beginning of the 21st century due to the over-consumption of natural resources by the products of science and technology, and now, the development of energy and the development of micro-solar energy, which makes this panic disappears. have wiped out this fear.
Thirdly, with science and technology in the hands of human beings, human beings can create a scientific precautionary system by means of ethical, moral and legal norms, so that the negative impacts of individual technological inventions can be restrained throughout the system.
Jane Anjun (second defense): The other side says that human beings have ethics and laws, but can ethics and laws control science and technology? Scientists are replicating human beings on the high seas, but moral laws can't control them. We believe that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, but also based on the fact that modern science and technology have distorted the development of mankind in all aspects, which is centered on the three levels of social relations, spirituality, and ethics and morality. First of all, the development trend of science and technology has the potential power to destroy the social life of human beings. Secondly, the destructive power of science and technology is also manifested in its constant impact on and destruction of human life, which is centrally manifested in the two new favorites of human science and technology, the Internet and genetic technology. The warriors of the Internet have long declared that they want to turn the network into a kind of life. However, when the virtual replaces the real, the existence of human beings as a society also disappears, as the saying goes, if the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached to it? Look at genetic technology, life science and technology to treat diseases, but on the other hand is interfering with nature, to create more perfect human beings, but genetically modified perfect human beings are human beings or high-tech products? Today's genetic technology on the human inner nature of the change more direct impact on the last line of defense of the human spiritual home - ethics and morality, science and technology on the full range of distortion of human society, is destroying the foundation of our society and the spiritual world.
Zhang Wenbo (the second defense): Just now the other side greatly exaggerated the negative impact of science and technology on human beings, although we can't completely exclude the possibility that high-tech will bring negative impact on human beings, but any scientific and technological achievements may have both advantages and disadvantages, and the impact is not equal to the destruction.
First of all, technology is the driving force behind human progress.
Secondly, if there is no science and technology, human beings would have died out long ago. Science and technology is the strongest shield to protect mankind, we believe that the continuous improvement of science and technology will bring mankind into a more beautiful and mysterious realm, so we believe that mankind will not be destroyed by science and technology.
Fu Xin (third defense): Just now the other side made two mistakes: First, the other side really talked about the benefits of science and technology, but the benefits of science and technology, we do not deny ah, just the other side of the defense you really think that the water can carry the boat, the water must not be able to overthrow the boat? Secondly, the other side said that human beings are rational, but rationality does not mean that they will not perish, and I will argue our proposition from the trend of the development of modern science and technology.
First, the development of science and technology is moving from individual trend to national and social trend. The individual's pursuit of and dependence on technological life is not a big problem, but the problem is that this pursuit and dependence is turning into a national and social trend in the form of a unique value, and science and technology have turned into the only right direction in the world, and all the ideas that go against it have to make way for it.
Secondly, the destructive trend of science and technology is highlighted by the fact that science and technology have been deified while nature has been instrumentalized. It is science and technology that makes human beings no longer feel that they are a part of nature, and it is science and technology that makes human beings feel that they have a new God in their hands while they continue to instrumentalize nature. However, when the natural order is broken, may I ask where mankind will stand?
Jixing (the third defense): Just now the other side of the defense to blame all the mistakes on science and technology, is one-sided, is not a true understanding of the relationship between science and technology and human beings, science and technology is not water, human beings can control science and technology. The development of anything has its negative side.
In the following, I will start from a realistic point of view to explain our point of view. First, the development of new and high technology so that human beings have been unexpected gains, China News Network news, robots for the first time in China to assist in minimally invasive surgery; Nature magazine reported that the cell size of a nano-cow was finally born. These kinds of achievements brought to us by science and technology have pushed mankind to a more prosperous starting point.
Second, with the current high-tech to solve our existing problems, there is no doubt that many problems will be solved with the continuous development of science and technology, as small as garbage is no longer polluting the environment, as large as the energy crisis is no longer worrying.
Third, the level of scientific and technological development of mankind in a number of years, I believe that all of us here can not imagine, like the Stone Age is drilling wood to get fire, they can not possibly imagine, now our world has a gas and electricity. Mankind will not be ruined by technology, on the contrary science will only make mankind more and more advanced.
Crossfire
■Positive side: look at today's genetic technology, has been in the impact of ethics and morality of the last line of defense of the spiritual home of mankind, what do you do?
■Opposite side: human beings can control science and technology, human beings will not be destroyed by science and technology
Chen Xiaohuan: May I ask the other side of the debate, today talk about "will" is not to talk about the trend?
Wang Qingmei: Of course we are talking about the trend, and the trend we are talking about is based on the history and reality, to find our basis to talk about the future.
Jane Anjun: Thank you for agreeing with our point of view, talking about the future of course, we have to look at the trend, based on the reality, the trend of judgment, the destructive trend of science and technology, the other side of the defense how to not see.
Jixing: But the other side of the defense is to ignore the history, we have to prove that technology will not destroy mankind from the aspect of history.
Fu Xin: Is that called a trend? The other side is called looking at history and fantasizing about the future.
Zheng Wei: the other side of the defense, our side at least still put our inference based on history, while the other side of the defense to make speculation, no wonder the other side of the other side of the defense with this unscientific method to arrive at this unscientific conclusions.
Wu Tian: Our side is obviously based on reality to see the trend, why can't the other apologists see it? May I ask today's technology are independently developed, this is still not a trend of destruction?
Wang Qingmei: I would like to ask the other apologist, you want to do stock market assessment, can you not look at the past historical data?
Chen Xiaohuan: The other side of the debate, today we are constantly told how good technology is, but is it not possible for good and bad to coexist? Can't good and bad coexist and destroy?
Zheng Wei: We don't deny that the good and the bad can co-exist, but what we believe is that human beings can control technology, and human beings won't be destroyed by technology.
Jian Anjun: If the other side really thinks that human beings can control technology, please tell us clearly how.
Wang Qingmei: The other side has been listing the various negative effects brought by science and technology to people, and has been still talking about the dangers of gene technology, completely ignoring the great contribution made by gene technology to human beings, if gene technology is useless, then why did the National Institute of Education in Singapore spend ten years to develop the world's first light-emitting "Hooch Flower"? Please provide an explanation.
Chen Xiaohuan: We are not denying the benefits of technology ah, but I hug you at the same time, I can not stab you? Is there a contradiction between me hugging you and me stabbing you?
Zheng Wei: So far, the other side has been avoiding our question, if mankind will be destroyed by technology, does the other side think that the Singaporean government's five-year plan on science and technology is accelerating this destruction?
Jian Anjun: There is no contradiction between the implementation of the science program and the fact that mankind will be destroyed by science and technology, we are standing here today, we are trying to understand the trend, the other side of the debate has not yet seen the trend, so why should we talk about the trend after the problem?
Wang Qingmei: The other side's opinion is that since technology is useless, should we stop developing it?
Fu Xin: the logic of the other side of the debate is really strange, on the one hand, he has not realized the existence of the problem, and on the other hand, he is asking me how to solve the problem, and can not walk before wanting to run, it is really strange ah.
Zheng Wei: We feel that the other side of the defense is even more strange, on the one hand, on the one hand, said that mankind will be destroyed by technology, on the other hand, but do not give up on technology, to continue to develop technology, this is not self-contradictory?
Wu Tian: It's not that we're contradicting ourselves, it's because people have to bow down under the trend, look at today's genetic technology, it's already impacting ethics and morality, which is the last line of defense of the spiritual home of mankind, what do you do?
Wang Qingmei: I would like to ask the other side, with scientific literacy of the four debaters, since the technology will destroy mankind, then why do we still have to study so hard to learn about science and technology?
Summary
■Positive side: technology brings convenience to mankind and at the same time sows the seeds of destruction
■Opposite side: we have to pursue the truth, but we must not take individual phenomena as universal, and it is also not possible to look at the world through the eye of a needle
WANG QINGMEI (Opposite side of the four debaters): I would like to point out that the other side of the debaters have made three serious mistakes: first, to point First, to generalize by point. The negative effects of science and technology have been emphasized one-sidedly and exaggerated infinitely.
Secondly, the second mistake is to take the words out of context, asserting that science and technology will destroy mankind because there are some problems in the development of science and technology, and completely ignoring the role of humanism and ethics in restraining and guiding science and technology.
Thirdly, the other side is looking at things from a stagnant point of view, only pointing out the existing problems of science and technology, while our side is pointing out the innovative nature of science and technology from a developmental point of view, and modern science and technology bring us ever-changing and newer and faster solutions to problems.
The following is a summary of our point of view: First, human beings are rational, otherwise there would not be the birth of science and technology, we have to pursue the truth, but we must not take individual phenomena as universal, and it is impossible to see the world from the eye of a needle.
Secondly, science and technology are controllable, and on this point, our side has cited a large number of facts. What we want to emphasize here is that the problems that currently exist can be made completely controllable through human self-discipline and the development of science and technology, and that under the double insurance of human rationality and the development of science and technology, mankind will not be ruined by science and technology.
Chen Xiaohuan (the fourth defense): First of all, the other side tells us how good the future technology is, but the word "will" in today's topic is telling us to look at tomorrow from today's perspective, not from tomorrow's perspective.
Then the other side told us from the historical point of view, technology has a lot of benefits, we do not deny it, but technology has a lot of benefits can not cover up the bad side of it, the focus of today's debate is the bad side of technology is, will or will not destroy human beings, the other side of the debate again and again, the king of the right and left, the thesis bias is the other side of the debate on the topic is the second big mistake made by the other side of the debate.
Then the other side naively told us that the development of science and technology can be controlled by human beings, but what we see is that science and technology is determining the strength and status of politics, economy and even a country, and it has long been overriding all the morality and law and rationality and conscience, so what else can be done to control it?
Summarizing our point of view, first of all, science and technology in bringing convenience to mankind at the same time also sowed the seeds of destruction, now what people dare to speak of science and technology is people-oriented, is not to serve people is called people-oriented? Secondly, technology is deified, but people are instrumentalized, everything to technology first, such examples in the world around us abound ah, technology is only a tool, but when it is deified, but when people are instrumentalized, such human beings itself is a kind of destruction. Third, science and technology is dominating the destiny of mankind with unprecedented power, the independence of scientific and technological development has long exceeded the control of mankind, and in turn dominated the human race, science and technology is just a means to an end, not an end in itself, we only have the courage to recognize the existence of this destructive trend, we can then say to everyone, the road is long and far away, I will be up and down and search for it.
