. Is technology the opposite of nature? Explain.
Vladimir79 [104]

Advanced technology can be considered indistinguishable from nature, whereas nature is the opposite of technology. The natural environment is wild and untouched by humans, but climate change is affecting every part of the planet, regardless of where they are located.

There is an inherent conflict between technology and nature. In the past, it has been proven that such commodities are produced at the expense of the environment because they destroy ecological habitats in the process of their production. Moreover, the steel that it produces comes from mines, the lumber that it harvests from forests, the rare metals that it extracts from the ground, and the plastics that it burns from oil that is extracted from mines.

Mazyrski [523]
I can just give you a suggestion of a story that I have watched. It's " How the Grinch stole the Christmas". The theme of the cartoon is that Christmas is not about presents. One evidence from the cartoon is that after Grinch stole all the presents from the people's houses, they were still happy and they were singing together by holding hands like the presents were nothing for them. At the end the Grinch realized his mistake and gave back all the staffs that he stole.

I hope it helps a little.
