LESSON 2A: HUMAN FLOURISHING
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
1. Do we have a right to revere science? Justify your decision.
 The question of whether we have a right to revere science is subjective and can
be approached from different perspectives. Here are a few points to consider
when justifying a position on this matter:
 Advancement and Progress: Science has been a driving force behind human
progress and advancement. It has led to remarkable discoveries, technological
innovations, and improvements in various aspects of our lives. The right to revere
science can be justified by acknowledging its role in enhancing our
understanding of the world, solving problems, and improving the overall well-
being of humanity.
 Empirical Evidence: Science relies on empirical evidence and the scientific
method to gain knowledge about the natural world. It encourages critical thinking,
skepticism, and the pursuit of evidence-based explanations. By valuing science,
we prioritize rational inquiry and the objective evaluation of ideas, which can
contribute to more informed decision-making and a better society.
 Fostering Curiosity and Discovery: Science fosters curiosity, inquiry, and a sense
of wonder about the universe. It encourages exploration and the quest for
knowledge. By revering science, we promote intellectual curiosity, the pursuit of
truth, and the expansion of our understanding of the natural world.
 Problem Solving and Global Challenges: Many of the pressing issues we face
today, such as climate change, public health crises, and technological risks,
require scientific expertise and solutions. By recognizing the importance of
science, we acknowledge the need to rely on evidence-based approaches to
address these challenges effectively.
 Ethical Considerations: The right to revere science can also be justified by
considering its potential ethical implications. Scientific advancements have the
power to shape society and impact individuals’ lives. By valuing science, we
recognize the importance of ethical considerations in scientific research, such as
responsible conduct, transparency, and the protection of human welfare.
It is important to note that revering science does not mean blindly accepting
every scientific claim without scrutiny. Science itself encourages questioning,
skepticism, and peer review. However, by acknowledging its role in advancing
knowledge, promoting critical thinking, and addressing global challenges, we can argue
that we have a right to revere science as a valuable and essential tool for human
progress
 2. Have we been active in linking technology to what we consider to be
human flourishing to this point?
Humanity has indeed been actively linking technology to what is considered
human flourishing. Throughout history, technological advancements have played a
significant role in shaping human societies and improving various aspects of human life.
Healthcare, Communication and Connectivity, Economic Prosperity, Education and
Access to Knowledge, Environmental Sustainability, Accessibility and Inclusion are
some examples of how technology has been linked to human flourishing. While
technology has undeniably contributed to human flourishing, it is important to
acknowledge that its impact is not uniformly distributed. Socioeconomic disparities, the
digital divide, and ethical considerations surrounding technology must be addressed to
ensure equitable access and positive outcomes for all individuals and communities.
Overall, throughout history, humanity has actively linked technology to human
flourishing, seeking to leverage its potential to enhance well-being, improve living
conditions, and tackle various societal challenges. However, ongoing efforts are
necessary to ensure that technology is harnessed responsibly and inclusively to benefit
all members of society.

3. What do you consider to be a symbol of human well-being?

Human well-being can be considered as a state of being happy, healthy, and

fulfilled. Symbols of human well-being can vary depending on culture and individual
preferences, but common examples include a healthy physical appearance, a positive
social network, access to education and healthcare, and a sense of purpose or meaning
in life. Ultimately, human well-being is complex and multifaceted, and requires a holistic
approach to achieve.

Development is a critical piece of human instinct, and we want to proceed to

develop and foster all through different parts of our lives. Images energizes our creative
mind. It also gives us access to parts of our lives that we can't get to any other way. It
utilized in all features of human undertaking. A symbol's connection to its referent is
based on agreed-upon usage, custom, or convention rather than something intrinsic to
the symbol itself. Because our perception of the world is based on a symbolic structure,
symbols are important in modern life. An abstract idea is represented by each symbol.
To navigate and simplify our environment, our mind employs symbols.
EXERCISE # 5:
1. Activity. Offer a brief history of discovery for each category that contributed
to the invention or discovery of the items mentioned below. Describe their
contributions to the advancement of science. Use the IMRAD Format for your
outputs.
Gravity
Introduction
Because the Earth has an invisible force known as gravity, throwing a ball into the
air will cause it to fall back to the ground. Wisdom has a certain gravity, but no particular
wisdom. Let's start with the nature of gravity itself before moving on to the discovery of
gravity. Although gravity can explain how the planets move, it cannot explain who
causes them to move. All things have some amount of gravitational pull, but some
things have more than others. The size of an object and how close it is to other objects
determine its gravity.
The first person to come up with a comprehensive explanation for gravity was
Isaac Newton. He was the first to propose that all objects in the universe are affected by
gravity. This is why the universal gravitational law is referred to as Newton's law of
gravity. It implies that the power that makes a mango tumble from a tree to the ground is
the very force that makes the moon continue to move around earth. Newton's
gravitational hypothesis was associated with his three laws of movement that depict
what powers mean for objects. Gravity is vital to our day to day routines. We would fly
off the Earth immediately without its gravity. The development of the law of universal
gravitation, more commonly referred to as the law of gravity by Newton, brought these
two ideas together in the form of a mathematical formula that appeared to be applicable
to determining the attraction force between any two mass-bearing objects. It created a
formal system of gravity and motion in conjunction with Newton's laws of motion that
would unchallengedly guide scientific understanding for more than two centuries.
Life on Earth needs gravity to get by. It helps us remain grounded on Earth.
Additionally, it keeps the Earth at a safe distance from the sun to avoid burning. As per
Stephen peddling the gravity shapes the enormous scopes design of the universe,
despite the fact that it is the most vulnerable of four classifications of powers. We must
always keep in mind that "not being afraid to fall is an essential aspect of gravity."
Lastly, Oprah Winfrey asserts that difficulties are opportunities that force us to locate a
new point of equilibrium. They won't fight you. Simply discover a new way to stand.
Methods
Gravitational strategy can be utilized to gauge the gravity field of the Earth. The
study of the Earth’s interior and its dynamic processes makes use of gravity. Because
different earth materials have different densities and, as a result, produce different
gravitational fields, the gravity method works. The gravity strategies answers
straightforwardly to a mass overabundance or deficiency. Coming up next are the
gravitational strategy:
• It involves measuring the earth’s gravitational attraction at a surface measurement
station.
• In order to locate subsurface density variations, it also requires measuring the
gravitational field of the earth at specific subsurface locations.
Results
The moon and planets are held in place by gravity, which keeps them in orbit
around Earth. The results of the gravitational discovery contributed to the assertion that
every object, from an apple to a planet, exists. It also keeps the planets moving around
the sun and makes rivers and tides move in and out.
Telescope
Introduction
There’s a great deal of researchers that imagine telescope yet the most known
researcher that developed this item is Hans Lippershey and Galileo Galilei. In 1608,
Hans Lippershey developed the first telescope. He made this for military purposes. A
tube housed both a convex and a concave lens. Objects were magnified three to four
times by the combination. Galileo Galilei builds his own telescope following this
invention. He made Hans better and was able to see the sky with his new invented
telescope. The Galilei telescope showed that the universe is much bigger than the few
stars and planets that we can see. What’s more, it likewise give strong logical proof to
affirm that Earth isn’t the focal point of the universe.
The telescope is a tool that enables us to see things that are too far away for our
eyes to see. This helps scientists, particularly astronomers, discover new stars,
galaxies, and planets. There’s a ton of commitment got by the disclosure of telescope
the headway of science. Telescope assisted us with figuring out gravity and other
essential laws of the actual world. It also plays a role in our day-to-day lives. Telescopes
are used for a number of things, including observing space and light that our eyes
cannot see. This demonstrated to us that science and technology can take us to places
we could never have imagined.
Methods
Stargazers thusly frequently use pictures from a few unique telescopes to
concentrate on heavenly items, this is as indicated by NASA. Some telescope strategies
are: action, command blind, command bool, command string, dispose, pulse guide,
slew to target, unpark, park, and set up dialog are just a few of the commands that can
be used.
Results
 One of the outcome in revelation of telescope is that it woke us up to the universe.
Additionally, it demonstrated the climate and geography of the planets in our solar
system. Additionally, it contributed significantly to the advancement of scientific
knowledge and comprehension of the universe, is user-friendly, and comes with
instructions for setup and operation.

Processed Food
Introduction
Mass food handling creation actually serve a significant job in the 21st hundred
years. Without these cycles, buyers all over the planet would be limited to food types
that are delivered locally. People can eat a wider variety of foods when they have
access to more options, which increases the likelihood that their diet will contain a
healthier and more complete array of nutrients. Food processing and production on a
large scale were only introduced toward the end of the 18th and 19th centuries to
primarily serve the military. It was in 1809 when Nicolas Appert imagined the procedure
of airtight packaging. This was utilized to protect nourishment for French soldiers and
added to future handling and safeguarding strategies like tinning and canning. Peter
Durand came up with these a year after the fact.
For thousands of years, humans have attempted to speed up and increase the
efficiency of food processing. We have been able to sustain our rapidly expanding
societies thanks to our long history of food processing, which has also given us more
time for other activities. As we keep on propelling, our capacities to make food quick,
reasonable and enduring development as well.
Methods
Salt, oil, sugar, or other ingredients from Group 2 are typically added to foods
from Group 1 to create processed foods. Vegetables in bottles, fish in cans, fruits in
syrup, cheese, and freshly baked bread are all classic examples. The majority of
processed foods are recognized as modified versions of group 1 foods because they
contain two or three ingredients. In food processing, the first and simplest step was also
the most crucial: cooking. In some of the earliest civilizations, such as Mesopotamia and
ancient Egypt, simple food preservation methods like drying, smoking, and salting were
used as early as 9600 BC.
Results
Handled food varieties are frequently alluded to as comfort or pre-arranged food
sources, handled food sources are recommended to be a supporter of the stoutness
pandemic and rising pervasiveness of constant illnesses like intensity sickness and
diabetes. Our ability to consume a wider variety of foods than our ancestors did is
another advantage of processed foods in our lives. We are able to bring foods from all
over the world into our homes because we are able to safely preserve and package
them. Additionally, it helps to ensure nutrition security and food quality meets human
nutrient requirements, two aspects of food security. One aspect of processed foods is
the subject of this ASN scientific statement: their healthful effects. Last but not least,
food processing has significant advantages for both businesses and consumers, such
as a wider variety of food options and foods with longer shelf lives.
Microscope
Introduction
The magnifying instrument was developed toward the finish of the sixteenth
hundred years. Its early history is not fully understood, in part due to the destruction of
numerous pertinent documents during the Second World War. Antonie Van
Leeuwenhoek, who lived at the same time as Hooke and drew inspiration from Hooke's
work to advance microscope design to new levels of sophistication, is credited as the
inventor of the microscope. The Dutch spectacle maker Zacharias Janseen, who was
born in 1585, is credited with creating one of the earliest compound microscopes—ones
with two lenses—around 1600. The inventor of the first microscope is unknown. The
earliest magnifying lens could amplify an item up to 20 or multiple times its generally
expected size.
Methods
A Dutch dad child group named Hans and Zacharias Janseen developed the
primary co-called compound magnifying instrument in the late sixteenth century when
that's what they found, in the event that they put a focal point at the top and lower part
of a cylinder and glanced through it, objects on the opposite end became amplified.
Placing the sample on the stage, activating the LED light, looking through the
eyepieces, and moving the focus knob until the image is in focus are the first steps in
using a microscope. Change the distance between the eyepieces until both eyes can
see the sample clearly.
Results
The improvement of the magnifying instrument permitted researchers to make
new experiences into the body and infection. It is a tool that magnifies small objects to
reveal details that are too small to be seen by the naked eye. The microscope had a
greater impact on other sciences, particularly botany and zoology, than on medicine,
despite some early observations of bacteria and cells. The microscope became a
powerful tool for identifying microorganisms that cause disease thanks to significant
technical advancements made in the 1830s and subsequent corrections to its poor
optics. Lastly, microscopes have made science more accessible in many ways.
Scientists, students, and researchers used microscopes to see the tiniest parts of
plants, animals, and fungi, learn about the structure of cells, and learn about
microorganisms.
Radio
Introduction
Most people listen to the radio every day, and most people have probably listened
to it at least once. Radio, the first wireless mode of communication, was the next
development in telecommunications. Instead of using wires, radios use radio waves to
send messages. Heinrich Hertz, a German scientist, demonstrated the natural existence
of radio waves. Beginning in the 18th century, a number of scientists and inventors
worked together to create the radio. Numerous individuals made significant
contributions to the study of radio waves in the scientific community. Radios took a long
time to become common household items. Radio's "father" is known as Guglielmo
Marconi. He proved that radio waves could be used for communication. In the early
1920s, the first radios were sold to the general public. the Westinghouse Organization
was the main organization authorized by the public authority to deliver and sell the
radio.
Methods
Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the presence of radio waves in the last part of the
1880s. He utilized a separate spark gap on the receiving antenna and an induction coil-
attached spark gap. Sparks would also leap its gap when waves produced by the coil
transmitter's sparks were picked up by the receiving antenna. Radio waves can spread
from transmitter to beneficiary in four ways: through waves in the ground, the sky, free
space, and open fields. Each wave-train got manifest itself as an impermanent ascent in
the locator current of the getting set. In the event of a single life reflection, a single wave
train at the transmitter results in two received wave trains at the receiver. One of these
trains traverses the layer while the other travels over the ground. Hence indicator
current is compelled to ascend at two unique times by a similar wave-train from the
transmitter and an oscillogram of the identifier current shows two protuberances for the
most part of inconsistent size.
Results
When radios became far reaching and reasonable, they associated individuals in
manners never before conceivable. Additionally, it indicated a significant shift in
American communication. During trying times like the Great Depression and World War
II, it encouraged a national conversation in real time. In addition, it became the single
most important factor in the creation of a widespread culture of sports, entertainment,
news, and advertising. Other than being utilized for communicating sound and TV
signals, radio is utilized for the transmission of information in coded structure. As radar it
is utilized likewise for conveying signs and getting their appearance from objects in their
way.
Benzene Ring
Introduction
It was discovered in 1825 by English physicist Michael Faraday, and after it was
discovered to contain benzene, it was made available in large quantities in 1842.
Benzene is a major industrial chemical that is produced from coal and oil. It is a
naturally occurring substance that is found in many animals and plants and is produced
by volcanoes and forest fires. August Kekule, a German chemist who worked in the
19th century, said that he had a dream in which a snake was eating its own tail and he
saw the ring structure of benzene.
Methods
It is ready from ethyne by the course of cyclic polymerization. The ethyne molecule
undergoes cyclic polymerization to produce benzene after passing through a hot iron
tube at 873 K. Industrial benzene production is equally influenced by three chemical
processes: steam cracking, toluene hydrodealkylation, and catalytic reforming.
Results
In 1856, the synthesis of aniline into the first synthetic dye, mauveine, was one of
benzene ring's contributions to scientific advancement. It is a forerunner in the creation
of drugs, plastics, oil, engineered elastic, and colors. Subsequently, the hydrogenation
of benzene happens significantly more leisurely than the hydrogenation of other natural
mixtures containing carbon twofold bonds, and benzene is considerably more hard to
oxide than alkenes.
Large Hadron Collider
Introduction
The Large Hadron Collider is the largest and most powerful particle collider in the
world. Between 1998 and 2008, the European Organization for Nuclear Research
collaborated with over 10,000 scientists, hundreds of universities and laboratories, and
more than 100 nations to construct it. The LHC's greatest second came in 2012 with the
revelation of the Higgs boson. Even though it is often referred to as the "God particle," it
isn't quite as amazing in and of itself as its name might suggest. Due to the fact that it
was the standard model's last unproven prediction, its significance was immense.

Methods
The history of the large hadron collider began in 1976 when the European
community of particle physicists started talking about building a big electron positron
collider at CERN. Naturally, LEP was eventually constructed and installed in a 27-
kilometer tunnel that houses the LHC today.
Results
A lot of physicists hope that the large hadron collider will help answer some of the
fundamental unanswered questions in physics. These questions concern the
fundamental laws governing the forces and interactions between elementary objects,
the deep structure of space and time, and specifically how quantum mechanics and
general relativity relate to one another. The commitment of the LHC in logical
advancement was to affirm the presence of the last already unseen molecule
anticipated by the predominant hypothesis of little subatomic things. Additionally, it
enables physicists to test the predictions of various particle physics theories.
Guns
Introduction
The beginning of guns started with black powder and its development, in all
probability in China, over a long time back. Gunpowder was invented by the Chinese
first, and historians typically attribute the first guns to Chinese weapons known as fire
lances. The initial guns were merely tubes from which explosive charges could be fired;
however, over time, they became simpler to load, aim, and fire. The age of the armored
knight and the castle stronghold was effectively ended by firearms, which revolutionized
warfare.
Methods
The history of firearms begins in 10 th century China, when bamboo tubes
containing gunpowder and pellet projectiles were mounted on spears to make portable
fire lances, operable by one person. This was later used effectively as a shock weapon
in the siege of De’an in 1132. There are at least five key identifiers of a firearm: the
make, model, calibre, manufacturer and serial number.
Results
Guns have had played both an indirect yet also tangible role in the rise and
progression of global powers and industrial development over the course of history. The
contribution of guns to the scientific development is that from the early years of
gunpowder warfare through to the current age, gun designers and artillerymen were
often schooled in ballistics, geometry which spread this knowledge to a far wider group
of people than would have been likely without guns.

Internet
Introduction
The origins of the internet are rooted in the USA of the 1950s. the cold war was at
its height and huge tensions existed between North America and the soviet union. Both
superpowers were in possession of deadly nuclear weapons, and people lived in fear of
long-range surprise attacks. The US realized it needed a communications system that
could not be affected by a soviet nuclear attack. At this time, computers were large,
expensive machines exclusively used by military scientist and university staff. No one
person invented the internet. When networking technology was first developed, a
number of scientist and engineers brought their research together to create the
ARPANET. Later, other inventors’ creations paved the way for the web as we have
know it today.
Methods
Unlike technologies such as the light bulb or the telephone, the internet has no
single inventor. Instead, it has evolved over time. The internet got its start in the United
States more than 50 years ago as a government weapon in the cold war. For years,
scientist and researchers used it to communicate and share data with one another.
Today, we use the internet for almost everything, and for many people it would be
impossible to imagine life without it.
Results
The internet provides a chance to get almost everything in digital format. Search
engines yield billions of results with just one click. Without a doubt, internet is the most
powerful medium of communication at present. It connects people across different parts
of the world free and fast. Because also of the internet, we can now access data and
papers much quicker and we can share resources online, such as the brilliant teaching
tools in plant biology.
Cell phones
Introduction
The first cell phone was introduced by Martin Cooper in 1946. It would be ten
years before cell phones would be available to the general public. Cellphones today are
very different from the original 1973 cell phone. Many of the early cell phones were
considered to be “car phones” as they were too large and cumbersome to carry around
in a pocket or purse. However, in 1983, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x arrived on the
market. Though huge by today’s standards, it was considered the first truly mobile
phone because it was small enough to carry.
Methods
Cell phones use radio waves to communicate. Radio waves transport digitized
voice or data in the form of oscillating electric and magnetic fields, called the
electromagnetic field. The rate of oscillation is called frequency. Radio waves carry the
information and travel in air at the speed of light.
Results
The contribution of cell phone to the scientific development goes way beyond the
ability to make or receive phone calls. Users can instantly send data to the home or
office and store photos which can be easily transferred to a PC or laptop computer. It
also become a widely used source of information. Most people these days cannot
visualize life without them. This small technological gadget gives us multiple functions,
one of the most valuable is communication. Phones make it easier to check up and
contact people than ever before.
Overall Discussion
As we observe, there are lots of invention happened in the past century. This
invention greatly influence and greatly impact the way we live as a human. There are
invention that made our life easy and comfortable, and there are also invention that has
negative effects in how we live today. Invention, such as new tools, devices, processes,
and medicines, have provided significant benefits to society. Those invention mentioned
above, help people around the world live longer, healthier, and more productive lives
and provide new ways to build, move, communicate, heal, learn, and play. Lastly,
inventions improve our lives in many ways. They make our tasks easier, entertain us,
improve our knowledge of the world, and even save lives.

2. Brainstorming. Try to decide the potential alternatives to growth and

development as a community. Make a list of many ways to encourage
sustainable living and launch a mini-campaign to promote your preferred
form. Use IMRAD for your output.
The following are the potential alternatives to growth and development as a
community:
 Save energy
 Recycling
 Eat less meat
 Go paperless
 Minimize waste
 Plant more trees
 Carpool or use public transportation more often
 Practice minimalism

CARE MORE
Introduction
In order to maintain its health, our planet can only produce a limited number of
resources, from food to water, and can only withstand a certain amount of greenhouse
gas emissions. We only have one earth, and our survival and well-being are entirely
dependent on it. Yes, human population growth is ongoing and significant, and
economic expansion is rapid; it's not unexpected seen as urgent means to decrease
neediness.
By ensuring that we can replace what we use as best we can, we can reduce the
demand for natural resources by adopting the attitude of "CARE MORE." We can
significantly reduce our impact on the environment and contribute to the preservation of
this planet's cleanliness and safety by taking small steps like increasing our use of
public transportation, cutting back on energy use, and becoming more environmentally
conscious.
Techniques
Practical improvement can be accomplished through the accompanying ways:
1. preventing harm to the environment caused by human activity.
2. Arranging shrewd framework so the populace can be overseen appropriately.
3. Information technology should be used responsibly to support sustainable
development.
4. giving people access to nutritious food and clean water for drinking.
Results
Helping to preserve the planet for future generations is one of the primary
benefits of sustainable living and the "CARE MORE" campaign. As additional
individuals live economically, ozone depleting substance outflows decline, assisting with
recuperating the planet for what's to come. We can gain advantages such as decreased
expenses, increased profits, enhanced public image, and increased social responsibility
by also promoting this campaign. A better quality of life, community bonds, and hope for
a better future are all made possible by sustainable practices. Additionally, it has the
potential to support biodiversity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and safeguard
natural resources.
Discussion
Methods of sustainable development assist nations in expanding in a manner
that allows them to meet the challenges posed by climate change. This, in turn, aids in
the preservation of crucial natural resources for present and future generations. By
gradually altering the ways in which we develop and utilize technologies, it always
inspires us to preserve and enhance our resources. Additionally, it aims to achieve
social and economic progress without depleting the planet's limited natural resources.
LESSON 2B: TECHNOLOGY AS A WAY OF REVEALING
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS
1. What would have happened to us if we didn't have technology?
If we didn’t have technology, our world would be vastly different in many aspects.
Here are some potential consequences and changes that might have occurred:
 Communication: Without technology, our ability to communicate over long
distances would be severely limited. We would rely more on face-to-face
interactions, written letters, and messengers to convey information. The speed
and convenience of modern communication tools like smartphones, email, and
social media would not be available.
 Information access: The Internet has revolutionized access to information.
Without it, obtaining knowledge would be more challenging. Libraries and
physical books would remain the primary sources of information, requiring more
time and effort to gather information on various topics.
 Transportation: Modern transportation systems heavily rely on technology. Air
travel, high-speed trains, and automobiles would either not exist or be
significantly less advanced. Long-distance travel would be slower and more
limited in scope. Exploration and globalization would be more challenging without
the efficient transportation systems we have today.
 Healthcare: Medical technology has greatly advanced our understanding of
diseases, improved diagnostic techniques, and facilitated the development of life-
saving treatments. Without technology, healthcare would rely more on traditional
methods, and medical advancements would be significantly slower.
 Industrial and agricultural sectors: Technology plays a vital role in industries and
agriculture, increasing efficiency and productivity. Without it, manufacturing
processes would be slower, more labor-intensive, and less precise. Farming
techniques would be less advanced, resulting in lower crop yields and potential
food shortages.
 Entertainment: Technology has revolutionized the entertainment industry,
offering various forms of media such as movies, music, video games, and virtual
reality experiences. Without technology, our entertainment options would be
limited to traditional forms such as live performances, books, and board games.
 Lifestyle and convenience: Modern technology has brought numerous
conveniences into our lives, such as home appliances, automated systems, and
online shopping. Without these advancements, daily tasks would require more
time and effort, and certain comforts and luxuries would be absent.
 Scientific progress: Technological tools and instruments have significantly
advanced scientific research and discovery. Without them, progress in fields like
 physics, chemistry, biology, and astronomy would be slower, and our
understanding of the world and the universe would be less advanced.
It’s important to note that these are speculative outcomes, and the absence of
technology would likely lead to the development of alternative solutions and
adaptations. Humans have always been innovative and adaptable, so we would
likely find different ways to fulfill our needs and continue progressing, albeit at a
slower pace.
2. Do you agree with Martin Heidegger's claim that technology can only be
regarded as one of several methods for discerning truth? What other
options do you think we should look into?
However, understanding history must be integrated into the cultural context of the
study, as if one were living through the eyes of someone from the past, rather than
being a detached study done from a distance. Heidegger argues that technology in and
of itself is neither good nor bad; the issue lies in the fact that technological thinking has
replaced all other types of thinking. He observed that enframing, which implies that
everything in nature is standing-reserve, is the essence of modern technology. Truth
can show up in numerous ways and the peril is that this reality of illustrative calculative
reasoning turns into the main truth. We must learn to think and act in accordance with
the ecology.
I can't help contradicting what Martin Heidegger's case that innovation must be
viewed as one of a few techniques for knowing truth, it is on the grounds that innovation
was never one of the methodologies in knowing truth. It just gives choices and it doesn't
force anybody to take up choices. It doesn't have additionally the capacity to separate
the premise of reality. Every new technology is ours to use or not. Depending on how
we use it and how it affects us, there is potential for good and bad. Knowing about our
existence and the reason we were created is one of the other possible ways to perceive
the truth. The will to power and the reason are two options we should consider, in my
opinion. Heidegger was always concerned about the "question of being," which was a
thorough investigation into how people comprehend and relate to being. In any case,
there are different choices: to be open to being and to wait for it to show up for us.
The study of Heidegger is challenging as well as risky. His work is turned into a
folder for the aimless curiosity of the academic industry, and the way he is taught today
threatens to obscure his thought's connection to politics. As Heidegger trusted, his
works are to assist us with understanding the difficulties that innovation presents. In
order to comprehend the breadth and complexity of his thought, we must study him
carefully.
EXERCISE # 6:
1. Role-Playing. Consider what the world would be like without technology. What
do you think your day-to-day life would be like if you were in this situation?
Create a situation in which a specific technical breakthrough does not occur.
 Here are some examples that you might use, Use IMRAD Format for your
output.:
a. Watch
b. Phone
c. Light Bulbs
d. Cars
e. Printing Press
f. Electricity
Introduction
Technology contributed and help our day-to-day life. It makes our living becomes
comfortable and lessen the burden that we carry. We can say that technology already
becomes part of our life, so it might be difficult for us to adjust if technology will be
removed. One technological equipment that is hard to remove is the electricity. Why? It
is because electricity is primarily used in all aspects of our life, in cooking, washing
clothes, telephone lines, signal and also in all infrastructure in our community. Our
mobile phones will be useless as the battery dwindles, with no back up charging option.
Electricity is important so do technology.
Methods
There are so much technological error might happen if there is no electricity.
Extended power outages may impact the whole community and the economy. A power
outage is when the electrical power goes out unexpectedly. One situational example of
this is when you are cooking and washing clothes at the same time, and the electricity
get lost. You can feel the struggle how to finish the work in an easy way, that’s why it is
important to have a technology like electricity. So I can say that we cannot live in an
comfortable life if there no technology. On this situation, there are power outage tips
that we can apply.
 Keep freezers and refrigerators closed
 Do not use a gas stove or oven to heat your home
 Disconnect appliances and electronics to avoid damage from electrical surges
 Have alternate plans for refrigerating medicines or using power-dependent
medical devices.
Results
By following power outage tips, we can lessen or avoid lots of damage. In
conclusion, I totally agree that one of the most dependable and trustworthy in this world
is the technology. Although there’s lots of negative effects about technology but I do
believe that if we can able to use it in a proper way, all those negative effects can turn to
a positive one.
Discussion
 Technology has brought many changes in our lives, and the world will keep
progressing in hand in hand. Those business that can provide digital services will be
able to survive the fierce competition in the future. If technology stopped working, many
of the services and conveniences we rely on would no longer be available, from
communication to transportation. People would be unable to access information,
communicate with each other, or even access basic necessities like food and water.

2. Philosophical Debate. Discuss whether technology is a tool for achieving a goal

or a goal in and of itself. Two classes will be created in the class. The first group
believes that technology is a tool for achieving human goals, while the second
group believes that technology is what humanity does. Make a list of important
points and write a personal position paper on your position.
First group
Technology is a tool for achieving human goals
Technology was being part of our lives, we can’t deny the fact that technology
plays a vital role in improving our lives individually or as a society. Technology lessen
human efforts in doing works, cure diseases, provide sustainable food and water, etc.
According to one website, we have four goals of human life namely security, pleasure,
ethics, and liberation. Relating technology to those four goals of human life will helps us
determine whether technology is really an instrument to achieve human goals and if it
has positive or negative impact. Technology serves as an instrument in which brings
together tools to promote development. One of the major roles of technology in
achieving human goals is to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all
ages. Technology isn’t just changing society – it’s changing what it means to be human.

Second group
Technology is what humanity does
Technology has rapidly progressed and has become a big part of everyday life.
“Technology is what humanity does” suggest that technology is integral to human nature
and culture. It also highlights the fact that technology is not a neutral or value-free
concept, but rather is shaped by social, cultural, and political factors. Different societies
and cultures have developed their unique technologies based on their particular need
and resources. These technologies have been used to both benefit and harm people
and the environment. In conclusion, this term emphasizes the idea that technology is a
fundamental part of human existence and culture and that it is shaped by a complex
interplay of social, cultural, and historical factors.
