1. WHEN TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANITY CROSS CHAPTER 7 SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY

2. AT THE END OF THIS CHAPTER , THE STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO : E valuate contemporary human experience to strengthen the human person functioning in society; D iscuss the importance of human rights in the face of changing social conditions and technological development; and I dentify laws or policies in the country that protect the well-being of the person in technological advancement and ethical dilemmas.

3. I N T R O D U C T I O N The good life involves living in a just and progressive society where citizens have the freedom to flourish. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was proclaimed on December 10, 1948 as the global standard for fundamental human rights. Recognizing and appreciating human dignity is crucial for a just and progressive society. This society fosters freedom, rationality, and love, allowing individuals to make choices for their flourishing, apply logic and science, and ensure human dignity is at the foundation of their endeavors.

4. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Birth rate is the ratio between the number of birthsThe Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) outlines 30 fundamental human rights essential for the pursuit of a good life. These are the freedoms everyone is entitled to and guaranteed by virtue of being human. The first article states the essential principle of being human in a just, free, and rational society. It emphasizes the principle of equal dignity and rights for all, but often favors those with more to offer. The first seven articles embody the spirit of this document in human rights history. that occur per thousand people and the average total population of that year.

5. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARTICLE I All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.

6. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARTICLE 2 Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self-governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.

7. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARTICLE 3 Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person ARTICLE 4 No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.

8. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARTICLE 5 No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman of degrading treatment or punishment. ARTICLE 6 Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.

9. UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS ARTICLE 7 All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights has a long, bloody history. Crafted in 1948, after World War II, the UDHR now serves as a common understanding of what each person's fundamental rights are. These rights apply to everyone, everywhere. It is imperative that we all know and live these rights to prevent injustice and oppression.

10. HUMANS VS. ROBOTS The rise of the machines accompanying the progress in science and technology may render humans useless. Manual labor is gradually being replaced by machinery. Computers become more and more sophisticated. Robots, usually designed like human beings, are created to perform complex, repetitive, or dangerous tasks. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI), robots may also eventually act and decide like humans. In the possibility that machines adopt the of humans, there pa need to reflect on the ethical problems posed by such development.

11. HUMANS VS. ROBOTS South Korea and other countries are implementing ethical guidelines to prevent human exploitation of robots, but the Philippines is not yet producing commercial robots. Artificial intelligence is gaining ground in the business process outsourcing (BPO) industry, but it may also threaten the industry. Santos reports that as of August 2017, a million Filipino BPO workers may be affected and lose their jobs due to the adoption of AI. Investors and business people find as a sure return of investment the use of business analytics provided by artificial intelligence. Business analytics is a means by which consumer and industry data are used to come up with better decision-making

12. HUMANS VS. ROBOTS Unemployment is a significant ethical concern in the use of AI, as it raises questions about the value of humans compared to AI-powered machines and how to prevent mistakes. As machines become more human-like, ethical treatment for AI may also be crucial. As machines and robots become more human-like, humans may also become machine-like. With the internet becoming an instant go-to tool for answers, people often accept search engine results without processing or thinking further. As the internet becomes more intelligent, we may become less human, as Nicolas Carr (2008) asserts that our own intelligence flattens into artificial intelligence.

13. HUMANS VS. ROBOTS Society's development and advancement in science and technology lead to complex issues, requiring protection and exercise of human rights for everyone, while fostering freedom, rationality, and love in practice. Contemporary science and technology issues, such as genetically modified organisms, nanotechnology, and climate change, emphasize the importance of promoting good practices through exceptional scientific methodologies, personal virtue, social responsibility, and global concern.

14. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED US Chief scientist and corporate executive officer of Sun Microsystems, Bill Joy, wrote in 2000 a controversial essay,"Why the future does not need us." In his work he contended that our most powerful 21st-century technologies-genetics, that retch, and robotics (GNR)-are threatening to make nanotes an endangered species. This possible extinction of the species may largely come about due to the unreflective and unquestioning acceptance of new technologies by humans. Joy also asserted that:

15. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED US Genetic engineering and other 21st-century technologies pose a significant threat to our understanding of human behavior, as they can self-replicate, posing a significant risk to our safety and security. Technologies like near immortality, genetic engineering, and nanotechnology offer immense promise for extending life spans and improving quality of life. However, these advancements also pose significant dangers due to their individual, sensible advances.

16. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED US The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 demonstrated the destructive power of science and technology. Today, GNR, accessible to small groups and individuals, raises questions about technology's potential for accidents and abuses. This is particularly concerning when placed in the hands of extremist groups, as it may self-replicate and spin out of control.

17. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED US Science and technology may be the highest expression of human rationality. People are able to shape or destroy the world with it. Theoretical physicist and mathematician Freeman Dyson, in the documentary The Day After Trinity (1981), shared his thoughts and sentiments as a scientist taking part in the development of nuclear power: The author describes the fascination with nuclear weapons, describing it as an illusion of illimitable power and potentially responsible for our troubles. They describe the feeling of lifting a million tons of rock into the sky and the technical arrogance that comes with it.

18. WHY THE FUTURE DOES NOT NEED US Human nature may be corrupted when the powers of our mind, our rationality, and our science and technology become manifest. If we are not able to rein in the vanity and arrogance that such powers unleash, then we are on the way to destroying the world. The wasteland grows; woe unto him who harbors the wasteland within. -Friedrich Nietzsche
