"Technologies not only influence but actually determine social customs and ethics."
关键词: social customs and ethics,定义是什么?对其不同范围的定义会导致不同的观点或结论.
influence, determine,两个词程度不同,观点可以同意第一个,或同意两个,或否认两个.
technologies,动作的主体.它的什么特征导致它可能影响决定social sustoms ethics?
I agree with author's opinion insofar as many aspects of our social customs such as living habits and family size 字面上来看,生活习惯和family size并不是social sustom的子集,不过他们可以是technology影响social custom的一个中间过程要素..have been changed with the improvement of technology. While for ethics, it might be different. For some basic ethical criterions, it is abiding and impossible to change, while for some others, it can be revised slightly by the technology improvement. So technology is not a decisive factor and we should not too arbitrary on it.开头比较开门见山,不错,主要观点也点明了.语句稍简洁一些就更好了.
Apparently, technology has a great impact on our social customs. Firstly, with the help of improvement in tools, the family size shrank a lot since less people were needed in accomplishment of one thing and one person could do more things. 这个跟family size有啥关系?After the obvious change in family structure, relevant families began to disperse in a wider district with the development of high efficient transportation such as planes, trains and cars. And moreover, nowadays, people can talk to each other in skype by means of internet and personal computer which makes the distance nothing at all. But in a deeper understanding of social customs, we can ferret out that the nature of the customs has not changed. With the help of technology, relatives can gather together and share their passion for each other so that distance is no more important. So we concluded that the union of families and the affection between them will not change while the days go by and the new technology emerges.这段只说了technology使距离不是问题,但是跟social custom联系不大.如果强调,以前,人们喜欢gather together聊天饮茶啥的,自从有了internet,人们不喜欢出门见面了,习惯在QQ上交流了,这就是social custom改变了.你的意思我明白,只是表达上换个侧重点可能更好.
Technology also influences our ethical values in some controversial field. For instance, it is impossible to change a person's gender in passed thousands of years but it comes true nowadays and god is not the only person who can decide it. Sex change operation is no longer such scarce that ordinary people can afford and pursuit their different lives. And with the progression of this kind of operation, the popular attitude towards them has change a lot. After therapy, transsexuals can pick up the "right" gender and begin a new life. Many famous pop stars such as Harisu in Korea have achieved a great succeed in their entertainment careers, which reflects acceptance of the transsexuals by the majority of the society. We can imagine that it's totally heretical to do so in old times.科技出现前后ethics的不同的对比缺乏,没有对比就不能说有改变,可能以前也是接受的,只是条件不允许
However, the improvement of technology can not change the basic ethnical criterion such as justice and equality. Though there comes out many new kinds of evil deeds by means of the new technology, such as hacker's attacking, cheating on internet, people judge them to be crime with the old ethical standard. The only factor that can be vital to ethics is the nature of human beings and it is changeless.此段实在没例子写,乱写的
In sum, the affect which technology progression can give to the society in customs and ethics is not strong enough to determine them. It is just a kind of gradually impact day after day and can not change the basic root of them. |
