Well, with the society developing rapidly and hugely, we have to face much more new and complex problems nowadays. Someone claims that the absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare. From my perspective, I agree with this point, in other word, we always have choice.
First of all, there are more and more choices we have in the contemporary society. As far as I am concerned, people have much more choice in most of circumstance than the past because the development of the technology and science. New technologies or scientific results can give us new tools, conceptions and knowledge to deal with the problems which are becoming new and complex, even those technologies or scientific results would also bring us some problems. Like we can easily communicate with others through the Internet, telephone, letters and so on. Moreover, when we want to study, in the past, we had to go to school, but today we can conveniently use the remote education system to gain the knowledge and skills. Therefore, I think that in the contemporary life, with the development of technology and science, we have lots of choices.
Admittedly the new technologies and scientific results would bring us more choices than before, whereas somethins, we also have few choices in some realms. In my opinion, even though the technology and science developing rapidly and hugely, however, they were not omnipotent. First, the technology and science has two sides, one is solving the existed problems or give us a way to deal with those problems, another is bringing us new problems which need new technologies or scientific results to solve. Like the Internet make us live better and conveniently, we can easily communicating, shopping, playing and geting information, but in other hand, the Internet also bring the violence, false information, cheating and so on to our society. To deal with those problems, we hope that the next generation Internet use more intelligent programs to filter the bad information and protect our next generation. Second, there are also many fields which are unknown to us, we couldn't use the contemporary technologies or sicentific results to explore these unknown realms. In short, when we face these fields, we surely have no choice. Like, we can't understand why people have memories, how our brain working and so on. Thus, we have choices is relative not absolute.
But, as a Chinese wise man once said: there is always a way out, we should learn how to find our way out. It means that we have no choices is also relative not absolute, with the development of society, one day we will find out a way to deal with those unsolved problems. As I mentioned above, in some fields, it is surely that we have few choices today, but we couldn't consider that we will always have few choices in those realms because the technology and science is developing, no one can guarantee that in the future we will find a way out finally. For example, in the early 21th, we used the mobile phone with the 2-generation communication technology, in this time, we would find out we have no choice when we want to use this technology to communicate with others face by face. But now, the 3-generation communication technology solve this problem, the high speed communicating network could support us talk with others face by face and so on. After all, I have to say that we will have choices in the future.
To sum up, the development of technology and science brings us much more both choices and problems nowadays. We could use those contemporary technologies and scientific results to deal with lots of situation in our daily life. For those no choice realms, we believe that we will have a way out in the future. |
