Pervasiveness of technologies in the world has been continuously reshaping every aspect of the society especially in the recent one hundred years. At the same time, philosophical(这里用冷静,明达来修饰讨论,感觉不太合适,激烈的讨论就可以了吧) debates over the impact of technologies have arisen. Some people worry that technologies will totally change our society(change our society totally我感觉比较顺..) and we will lose our original customs and ethics. I concede that technologies have large influence on social customs and ethics, but technologies, however advanced they are, can hardly determine customs and ethics. There are various complex factors that determine social customs and ethics(这里的social customs and ethics能不能用them代替呢?这个我不确定).
Admittedly,technologies have been developing so rapidly since the Industrial Revolution that they have significant impacts on every aspect of our society including customs and ethics. Accordingly, life styles all around the world have been changing dramatically. People used to write letters to friends and relatives to keep in touch with each other, but now, phone calls and email are much more convenient and have become the first choice. The way people work has been changed as well.Thanks to the development of the computer and the Internet, more and more people can do their jobs without going out. And with the help of electronic conferences people at different places do not have to get together to held a meeting. What’s more, online dating has been extremely popular, which cannot be imagined several years ago. Making friends online is very efficient but sometimes hasty as some people complain. All of these phenomena seem to be brought about by technologies.(前两个例子都只说了好处,而最后一个又提了下不足之处,感觉有点乱)
However, social customs and ethics cannot be totally determined by technologies. It has been(这里用现在时就可以吧) less than two hundred years since the Industrial Revolution, while social customs and ethics are formed through a long history of hundreds even thousands of years (+and,否则貌似有两个谓语)shaped by many factors(被许多因素形成?通过许多因素形成?我写的时候就遇到了这个问题,如果改成shaped by the effect of many other factors呢?) such as geography and religion. There are many countries in the present world whose technical levels have minor differences, but whose social customs and ethics are totally different, such as Japan and England.(最好再简单分析一下不同的原因,例如什么思维方式不同之类的) If social customs and ethics were totally determined by technologies, the world would be largely identical, and it would be a horrible scenario. In fact, we should notice that, when people find a date, whether on the Internet or in thereal world, the craving for love is the same. That is to say, technologies have mainly influenced our material life, including housing, clothing, transportation, diet and so on, but the spiritual world, which has been formedby cultures and beliefs, is not that easy to be touched.
Moreover, the development of technologiesis controlled by human beings. If the impact of technologies is so huge that it will reshape the society entirely, or the technologies are totally against the social ethics, people will surely do something to stop them. For instance, the technology of nuclear power has been quite mature, but abuse of it will pose a great threat to the entire world, so international pacts have been signed to make sure that it is used for the benefit of the world. Similarly, the skill of cloning, which has sparked fierce disputes among scientists, politicians and social activists, is currently under strict control. Therefore, people do not need to worry that one day nuclear weapons might come into grocery stores or clone operations might be performed every day in hospitals, which will completely change social ethics.
In conclusion, technologies undoubtedly insert(insert和impact搭配?) great impacts on social customs and ethics, but they cannot determine customs and ethics entirely. Instead, social customs and ethics are largely shaped by other factors like geography and religion through a long history. Besides, technologies are developed and controlled by human beings, so people do not need to fear that technologies one day will be so developed that they will be out of control and make social customs and ethics totally different and unacceptable.
感觉这篇文章是越写越好一类的~
2 3段我感觉有点混乱 后面就越来越清晰了
第三段那个反面假设很不错~ 学习了 例子运用的也都很恰当
不过发现大家这次一个共同的毛病就是例子基本就那么几个... |
