根据二楼建议,自己改了下
Revised by team No. 7
When it refers to the topic that technologies determine our social customs and ethics, it seems the writer does not analysis thoroughly.
At the first glance, the technologies play a vital role on changing our social customs and ethics. Paragons, such as human in western world used to celebrate their Christmas with their neighbors, they held parties in their yards, singing,
dancing and making joke with each other. But now, some people changed their behavior, they are willing to celebrate in their houses by using advanced
technologies such as watching TV and playing computer games. Here is another example, before two hundred years ago, at the time of writing era, people communicate in a traditional way, that is writing letters, to communicate with their far away friends or families; in nowadays society, letters almost be replaced by E-mails because it supports a faster and more convenient way of meeting people. E-mails change human custom.
When consider deeply, however, the real impetus to change social ethics and customs is developing globalization which supported by advancing technologies. For instance, when the generations of oriental countries had not realized the existing of occidental world, all countries celebrate their own festivals, such as Chinese celebrate their spring festival. After the development of planes and ships technologies, western countries` ethics began to impact eastern countries; some young people changed their customs and favored to celebrate Christmas Day. The technologies developing developed also support chances for eastern people travel or live in the western world, and this brought their own ethics to western country makes western country blend other ethics, and finally their custom changed. Another example is that customs are changed between western country and eastern country. Take Chinese and America, one is a represent of eastern country, the other delegates of western country, as an example. At first, Chinese people are conservative and American are individual, while technologies create a communicate way between them, Chinese become more individual than before while American become little conservative.
Furthermore, social customs and ethics often restrict the development of technologies. The technologies when bring some aberrant customs or ethics will be abandoned. There is an example when the scientists were addicted to the research of clone technology; it was confined because people are afraid there will be ethics crisis when this technology extends to practice on human beings. From this point of view, it seems technologies do not determine social customs and ethics, on contrary, it is the customs and ethics supervise the development of technologies.
In conclusion, technologies makes environment for globalization, which changes today`s social customs and ethics, grows. Technologies` development is restricted by customs and ethics, any technologies do not correspond with normal customs or ethics will be forbidden. |
