Answer:
If technological advances fall on people without Ethical-Moral training, then life itself would be threatened as our humanity and environment would be destroyed.
Explanation:
Question:
What could happen if technological advances fell on people without Ethical-Moral training?
Morals: Morals refer to human behavior. The principles of right and wrong
Ethics: It is the body of rules and regulations that dictate the conduct of practitioners of a particular profession.
In terms of technology, ethics is viewed in two contexts; if the pace of technological innovation is benefiting the humanity or not; if it is severely empowering people while choking others in the process.
Technology: it is the application of scientific principles for practical purposes of human life. Technology when used properly improves the quality of life of people.
On one hand, technology in itself is said to be neither good nor bad. It is people who determine it's application. With this said, we can infer that if technology falls on the wrong hands, it could be disastrous.
On the other, some technologies like nuclear fission, genetic engineering exert enormous power that their existence raises ethical or moral questions.
The role of ethical training in technological advancement would be to monitor rather than control to ensure fair practices.
Now if technological advances fell on people without ethical-moral training, then life itself would be threatened:
- Cultural breakdown: Almost everything in our day to day lives would depend on technology
- Loss of jobs: this would happen when machines do the work of men
- Inequalities as those with initial access to it would be the rich thereby widening the gap between the rich and poor.
- Exploitation as competition towards Mastery and control increases
- Environmental degradation
