The last century witnesses the booming of science and technology and their revolutionary power to the world. However, considering the increase of side effects and byproducts brought by technology, more and more people show deep concern with the negative force of technology itself. Some radical thinkers even suspect that advance of modern technology is a Pandora’s box beyond our will to open. As far as I am concerned, I strongly affirm the positive contribution brought by technology. Besides that it is humans rather than technology that should be responsible for the negative effects or disorder relevant to technology很有力的平衡观点的开头.
To begin with, the development and application of tools, machines, materials and process help us solve many problems that puzzle and trouble our predecessors in the past. The invention of incandescence light prolongs the time for work, study and entertainment at night. The use of penicillin inhibits many deathful bacteria threatening to our health. The Hubble space telescope lead us closer to the universe when we observe the stars, planets, nebulas, and galaxies much more convenience. The computer-aided design system frees architects and engineer from tortuous illustration and model construction so as to promote their efficiency and imagination in their creation. At it stands, modern technology profoundly changes our life-style, way of thinking and bring more convenience and leisure to contemporary world呵呵,这一段的方方面面的例子概括得很不错,而且有代表性,要好好学习!.
However, although technology provides us with desired products such as instant communication, faster transportation and omnipresent information highways, technology itself cannot offer us comfort and happiness. We invented faster transportation, but have to rush and commute between home and far-away working place day after day. We invented instant communication, but hardly have time to say hello to our distant relatives or friends. We invented Internet and potable laptop equipment, but are more and more vulnerable to computer virus, junk messages on sex, violence, and writing illiterate. It is not a paradox but also irony that themore convenient and instant facilities the less freedom and privacy we possess, and the hastier our life becomes. Modern technology offers us choices to have distinctive lives from our predecessors; but it depends on our own judgment to accept it or not这段更精彩。排比有气势,小结也恰如其分。.
Having acknowledged the side-effects brought by technology, I nevertheless claim that the negative force of technology is based on the flaws and weakness of ourselves. For instance, clone, one of most astonishing and challenging biomedical techniques, have been universally criticized by scientists, and moralists and even banned by some government. However, as far as the gene savings is concerned, clone can work well if it is applied in a proper way without defiance of our social mortality. Other similar case is Human Gene Project (HGP), which conducted by an international cooperation involving many countries. However, many human resource consultative companies attempt to use its resource on human psychological and physiological analysis to genetically assess the superiority or inferiority to particular individuals. Hence, since techniques are a double-bladed sword这句是一定要用的:), whether or not it can arouse fortune or disasters is due to how the users willwish? them克隆的例子很恰当,我当时没想到。不过我觉得可以这样来写,克隆这项技术本身是造福人类的,比如在器官的再生和移植方面,甚至运用到对物种的保护上也未尝不可。争议主要集中在克隆人所引发的关于伦理和道德问题上,这是一个内在问题,与人们对待它的立场关系不大,因为不能说我克隆一个人纯出于好心,这个问题就不存在了。也就是说,这固然是技术所造成的争议,却无关于人性的弱点,因为要评价几千年来形成的伦理观念是对是错决非易事。不知道你有什么不同意见.
As technology can somewhat result in dangerous or even perilous aftermath to our morality and ethnics, government and authorities should take the responsibilities to formulate and implement powerful laws and rules in its development and application. Considering the problem of ozone depletion thought to be a result of CFC emission, the American government regulated CFC production in the U.S. corporations responsible for releasing CFC into the atmosphere and further seeks international cooperation to control the production of CFC refrigerators globally. Since technology itself continuously advances, the new safely technology should be encouraged to replace the old less inefficient one这里用这样一个观点是不是更完整些:(也是一个issue主题好象)任何一种新技术的诞生是对过去某个问题的解决同时也是造成某些新问题的源泉。技术是在这样的过程中不断进步的,同时也将人类带到了一个不可挽回的地步,即对技术的过分依赖使得社会在某些方面变得脆弱,比如电力系统的崩溃会引起整个城市的瘫涣等等。.
To sum up, due to the aforementioned analysis, technology itself is only a mutual tool free from good or evil. It is human beings' responsibility to choose how to will it. Whether or not technology can bring pleasure or misery only attributes to the strength or the weakness of its users.
写得真是不错,尤其是反面论述的段落,相当精辟,我要好好学习一下:) |
