Lesson 1. Human Flourishing in Science and Technology (Week 9)
Activate your Prior Knowledge
ANSWER. For me, the flourishing of a human being necessitates the logical use of his strengths and
virtues in the pursuit of his freely chosen ideals and goals. Personally, I believe that we thrive when we
encounter new situations and take appropriate response. Within the wider family, community, and
population, human flourishing encompassed the individual's individuality, dignity, variety, freedom,
happiness, and overall well-being. Most of us want to make a better life for our children or kids. Human
flouring must be driven by a desire to create things that will make life easier and more convenient for
future generations.
ANSWER. Yes. Our admiration for science is well-founded. People trust, believe in, and rely on science.
Also, we Filipinos have progressed from believing in superstitions to believing that science can explain
most things. Science is a well-known and well-respected method of discovering the truth.
Were we successful so far in trying to tie down technology with what we conceive as human
flourishing?
ANSWER. So far," yes, we've been successful in inventing technology to help people grow. In this
example, the concept of 'flourishing' refers to labor-saving technologies that free up more time for
literature, science, and the arts.
Try to imagine the world without technology. How do you think your day-today life would be like? Do
this by illustrating a scenario where a certain technological innovation does not exist. Below are the
examples you could use:
1. Watch 4. Cars
ANSWER.
The light bulb is one of the most important innovations of our time. The Light Bulb provides light after
dark, allowing us to fully appreciate dusk. Many things would be impossible without artificial light, but
here are a handful that I believe are critical: meal preparation/eating, surgery, and nighttime travel. The
things that light bulbs enable us to do are essentially limitless. We wouldn't be able to enjoy an evening
stroll, go to restaurants, watch television (we wouldn't be able to find the things in the dark), and the list
goes on. When you stand back and consider it, light bulbs bring people together. For example, they are
the reason why families can gather to decorate for Christmas. They also illuminate athletic events for
the entire world to see. Can you image Christmas without lights all around the world? That is why light
bulbs are essential in our lives.
ANSWER. I think humans will continue to be rigorous in whatever they do if technology does not exist.
Without technology, just a few cars and structures will be built. The transmission of messages is
sluggish, and communication is slow. On the other hand, without technology, humanity would perish.
will maintain its stable position in which changes and progress do not push people. Our method.
Without the assistance of technology, thinking and survival may not progress.
2. Do you agree with Martin Heiddegger in His idea that technology should only be seen as one of the
approaches in perceiving truth? What are the possible approaches we should consider?
ANSWER. I disagree with Heidegger's assertion that technology should only be viewed as a revelation of
truth, or, more accurately, as an insight of Being. He acknowledges that technical technologies can be
appropriately regarded as instruments designed to increase human agency. However, Heidegger
believes that this description, although right in some ways, falls short in others. In reality, it
misrepresents a far more significant aspect of technology. We should consider was the knowledge of our
existences and the reason behind our creation.
ANSWER. Technology has always been a part of our lives, and we can't deny that it plays an important
role in making our lives easier and more productive. I agree that technology is a tool for achieving
human goals since it decreases human efforts to accomplish our objectives more rapidly. Technology
fundamentally harnesses the tools, technologies, and techniques utilized to assist us in solving issues
and making our lives better and simpler in some way. This is due to the fact that in today's fast-paced
society, life would be meaningless without technology. Technology, as an instrument that brings
together instruments to encourage development, usage, and information sharing, has the primary goal
of making chores simpler and solving many of mankind's issues. When technology advances and makes
our life more convenient, we must emphasize how wonderful it is.
