Debate: The benefits of scientific development are enormous.
Friends of the debate, you always list the disadvantages of technology. The development of science and technology seems to have only brought disaster to mankind. Then why do we still emphasize that science and technology are the primary productive forces? Why should mankind continue to develop science and technology?
The key to answering this question lies in your understanding of the debate. The essence of this understanding lies in: Why should we find out the disadvantages brought by technology? This is the key to your point of view. Why? I remember a saying: technology is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can crush ignorance and backwardness, on the other hand, it may bring endless disasters to mankind. At this time, we emphasize the pain and disaster brought by science and technology to mankind precisely for the purpose of maximizing the positive role of this double-edged sword and benefiting mankind, not the other way around. The so-called good medicine is good for the disease, because thinking about science and technology rationally and comprehensively can keep science and technology under the control of human beings all the time and will not harm human beings in turn.
It is sad for a person not to make progress, a country is declining without progress, and a world is dark without progress. Only by continuous progress can human life be sublimated. Man is small and fragile. He has no huge body, no strength like an ox, and no hard shell like a turtle. However, God has given mankind a clever brain and a pair of hard-working hands. Instead of enjoying success, human beings have chosen to make continuous progress and stand at the top of today's food chain. Let's compare today's life with that of 10 million years ago, and we are supreme; Comparing today with thousands of years ago, we are condescending; Comparing today with hundreds of years ago, we are happy and comfortable; Comparing today with tomorrow, the future is bright. For thousands of years, it has changed from a carriage to a car, train and plane; From kerosene lamps to incandescent lamps, neon lights and energy-saving lamps; From the ends of the earth to close at hand, video chat and mouse know everything about the world. Didn't they buy everything around us? Life is so comfortable, life is so pleasant and life is so wonderful. Our average life expectancy is 30 years higher than that in ancient times, and we don't even have to go out to visit relatives and friends. Isn't this all the benefits of scientific development? Nothing can be perfect. The brighter the place, the darker the shadow behind it. But on this basis, do you come to the conclusion that the disadvantages of technological development outweigh the advantages? Different times lead to different problems. Except air pollution, all provinces and cities have put forward prevention plans. White garbage, unified treatment; Automobile exhaust causes the temperature to warm, and scientists have also developed solar-powered cars. Look at now, solar water heaters, solar air conditioners, solar cells ... environmental protection and energy-saving solar energy are gradually entering thousands of households. Isn't this the development of science and technology? Although there are disadvantages, it is irrelevant compared with the scientific and technological development concept of benefiting mankind and protecting home. As long as there are drawbacks, scientists will try to solve them. We can't stop eating because of choking, and the pace of scientific and technological development will not stop for a moment. There is nothing wrong with the development of science and technology, that is, to benefit greatly. This is the only answer to this argument! Just because science and technology have been advancing and science has been developing, cunning sophistry, generalization and unreasonable entanglement can't change this truth. If you say that the development of science and technology does more harm than good, can you come to class without a car, gel pen, ballpoint pen and pen within a week? Can you stop watching TV, listening to the news, reading newspapers, reading books and surfing the Internet for a week? Can the developed hybrid rice not be eaten for a week? No spaghetti? Don't drink? Technology is closely related to you, and it is inseparable from you!
Refutation is harmful.
Friends of the debate, you always list the disadvantages of technology. The development of science and technology seems to have only brought disaster to mankind. Then why do we still emphasize that science and technology are the primary productive forces? Why should mankind continue to develop science and technology?
Without technology, we might still be in primitive society, so what's the use of the environment? Now people are protecting the environment while learning science and technology. How can it be said that learning science and technology will definitely destroy the environment?
This does not mean that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. This is only an individual phenomenon, but they do not use science and technology correctly, which does not deny the benefits that science and technology bring to mankind. Nothing can be perfect. The brighter the place, the darker the shadow behind it. But on this basis, do you come to the conclusion that the disadvantages of technological development outweigh the advantages? Different times lead to different problems. Except air pollution, all provinces and cities have put forward prevention plans. White garbage, unified treatment; Automobile exhaust causes the temperature to warm, and scientists have also developed solar-powered cars. Look at now, solar water heaters, solar air conditioners, solar cells ... environmental protection and energy-saving solar energy are gradually entering thousands of households. Isn't this the development of science and technology?
"A generation has a generation of ideas and ways of doing things. Both old experience and new ideas have their advantages and disadvantages. It can stand the test of practice, conforms to Scientific Outlook on Development, and is correct and reasonable! "
Throughout history, from printing to papermaking, from word processor to network consultation, human intelligence has been deepened, which is the humanistic motivation; As far as human spiritual values are concerned, science and technology have helped people get rid of poverty, and network science and technology information has brought the fourth wave of thinking about democracy and human rights. Physiologically, from antibiotics to organ transplantation, from irrigation to the improvement of biological varieties, it has alleviated the crisis for human beings again and again. When the development of science and technology deepens, broadens and optimizes people's physiological, psychological and spiritual values, can it be said that the development of science and technology inhibits people's all-round development?
Scientific and technological development is the road to a strong country and the first driving force for the progress of the Chinese nation. How can we live a happy life today without science? Without science and technology, how can we have a comfortable material life and spiritual enjoyment? Without the progress of science and technology, how can you eat hybrid 2? How can I put on cotton-padded jacket and live in a tall building? China's 8,000-year history of civilization is irrefutable evidence. History has been changing and technology has been developing. Humans learn to use or cook food from primitive life, from relying on nature to thriving, from unarmed to metallurgical smelting. This is not progress, this is not development? Science and technology are the primary productive forces, the concentrated expression and main symbol of advanced productive forces. I said that to develop productive forces and improve economic benefits, we must first rely on the development of science and technology. From the perspective of productive forces, science and technology can constantly improve and update labor tools, improve the quality of workers and make full use of labor objects. In short, the development of science and technology can greatly liberate productive forces, even create new industrial sectors, and lead to the rapid development of the national economy. We must adhere to the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, so that the economic growth mode can get rid of the extensive old road and turn to the track centered on improving economic efficiency, and earnestly pay attention to the quality and efficiency of economic development. The essence of today's world competition is economic and technological competition. Economy is the foundation and technology is the leader. Economic development is conducive to enhancing China's comprehensive national strength and enabling China to participate in international competition on a larger scale and at a higher level. With the development of science and technology, human civilization has taken a big step forward. Science and technology is a weapon for human beings to overcome and transform nature and an important force to promote the development of social productive forces. Every development of science and technology is a leap in the history of human civilization and an epoch-making victory for human beings to conquer nature and self. In the early days of primitive society and slave society, it was precisely because of the casting of bronzes and the use of ironware that social wealth doubled and caused changes in social form. In the industrial revolution in the18th century, it was precisely because of the wide application of steam engine technology that the industrial revolution entered a new stage, thus doubling the wealth of the capitalist world. After the Second World War, it was precisely because of the influence of the third scientific and technological revolution, which mainly focused on electrical appliances, that it greatly promoted the economic recovery of post-war capitalist countries and the substantial economic growth of socialist countries, and promoted the rapid increase of social wealth and the fundamental improvement of people's lives. So the advantages of scientific and technological development are obvious. Although scientific development has its drawbacks, it has nothing to do with Scientific Outlook on Development, which benefits mankind and protects our homeland. As long as there are drawbacks, scientists will try to solve them. We can't give up eating because of choking, and the pace of scientific development will never stop. There is nothing wrong with the development of science and technology, that is, to benefit greatly. This is the only answer to this argument! Just because science and technology have been advancing and science has been developing, cunning sophistry, generalization and unreasonable entanglement can't change this truth. It is true that technology has changed history. Without the development of science and technology, our life is unimaginable. Our days are dark. It was the development of science and technology that saved us, and it was science that saved us from the age of hydrothermal. We should respect him with awe. How can we say that the development of science and technology is full of drawbacks? Science and technology change history, and knowledge changes destiny. We have entered 2 1 century, a century full of high technology!
A university teacher once asked students such a question: "What will life be like if we leave' science' and everything it brings?" The students looked at each other. Finally, the answer given by everyone is: incredible.
Yes, science is too important for people's lives. Not only the TV sets, computers, cars and mobile phones that accompany us day and night are closely related to science, that is, the food we eat, the water we drink, the clothes we wear and the electricity we use, but also the instruments and medicines used to see and treat diseases. What has nothing to do with science? If we want to live, we can't leave science for a moment.
People can't live without science, and development can't live without science. Without the word "science", we can't move forward well and quickly.
Our understanding of the law of development has a deepening process. Since the reform and opening up, we have vigorously promoted the rapid economic development, which has brought about significant changes in urban and rural areas and improved people's living standards. However, on the road of rapid development, the constraints of population, resources and environment, the imbalance of urban and rural, regional, economic and social development, and the contradiction between social resources and wealth distribution are all kinds of problems before us. Therefore, at the critical stage, the CPC Central Committee inherited and developed the important thoughts of the three generations of central leading collective of the Party on development, put forward Scientific Outlook on Development, and further answered the questions of "for whom", "on whom" and "how". From "development" to "scientific development" and from "sound and rapid development" to "sound and rapid development" is a qualitative leap in understanding the law of development, which will not only determine our tomorrow, but also have an impact on the future of the world.
Scientific Outlook on Development has brought us exciting changes. We have seen that with the implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, the economic and social development of our province has continuously taken new steps, the people's living standards have been continuously improved, and the capacity for sustainable development has been continuously enhanced. Pollution has decreased, the water in some lakes has become clear, the sky has become bluer, Yunling land has become greener and the environment has become more beautiful. The benefits brought by scientific development can be seen and felt by people of all ethnic groups on the land. With the in-depth implementation of Scientific Outlook on Development, the word "science" shows new strength and shines more brightly.
Comrade Hu Jintao pointed out in the report of the 17th National Congress: Scientific Outlook on Development is an important guiding principle for China's economic and social development and a major strategic thought that must be adhered to and implemented in developing Socialism with Chinese characteristics. These words express the common aspiration of the people of all ethnic groups in China. The light of science is brilliant, and the power of scientific development is infinite. As long as we unswervingly follow the path of scientific development and let the light of science illuminate our hearts, the future will be happier and better.
The influence of scientific and technological development on human development
First, the development of science and technology gives full play to people's ability, enhances people's ability to know, transform and adapt to nature, and reduces people's dependence on nature. This improves man's position in any natural relationship and is a sign of man's ultimate liberation goal. The result of pure scientific discovery is the result of further understanding of nature, so its development directly enhances people's ability to understand nature. The concentrated expression of technological development is the application of tools and the expansion of labor objects. Tools are the extension of human organ function, intelligent tools are the extension of human brain function, and non-intelligent tools are the extension of human limb function. The purpose of tools is to promote the development of people's ability, which can accomplish things that people can't accomplish before or reduce the cost of completing a certain knowledge. For example, a supercomputer can be used to analyze the weather more closely, so as to reduce its harm to people's lives and increase its advantages. The use of cranes can change the way people work hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder, thus greatly improving efficiency, reducing working hours and reducing costs. At the same time, the use of tools also enhances people's adaptability to nature, which means that people can survive and carry out various activities in areas that were impossible or difficult to survive before. For example, using all kinds of winter clothes and means of transportation in a cold environment enables people to set foot in the polar regions and conduct scientific research. The development of space technology has brought people into space beyond the earth, and may find new living space for human beings. The influence of the expansion of labor objects on human development is reflected in making full use of the functions of some things or developing new functions, and constantly providing material information for the development of all mankind, which will certainly be the way to solve the various resource crises that mankind is facing now. For example, the emergence of cement technology made use of limestone and silicate minerals, which had a revolutionary impact on the construction industry. It can also be imagined that with the development of high-energy electron accelerators, people can easily separate nuclei and recombine protons and neutrons, thus freely converting the types of elements. If one day there is no agriculture on the earth, the elements in the soil can be transformed into the elements needed to make flour, and then steamed bread can be made, which undoubtedly reduces people's dependence on nature. Specifically, the development of science and technology has promoted people's ability to play in many ways and reduced their dependence on nature. Below we only discuss from two aspects: agriculture and war. The influence of scientific and technological development on agriculture reflects the poet's reduction of dependence on nature in his survival and self-development. At first, human planting activities only scattered the seeds of some specific plants in the ground, turned up the soil and buried it, and then waited for the fruits to be harvested. In this primitive agricultural activity, its harvest is affected by many factors, such as soil looseness, waste degree, sunlight, temperature, humidity, wind and pests. Failure to meet the conditions in any of these links will lead to the failure of planting activities, so people are highly dependent on nature. In the process of agricultural development, every step is promoted by the development of science and technology. After the emergence of the simplest wooden and stone tools, the dependence of planting activities on the degree of soil looseness has decreased-heat can use these tools to loosen the original loose land, and at the same time it is also the use of the original loose land, expanding the labor object.
The emergence and application of irrigation technology reduces the dependence of agricultural activities on land moisture conditions, and at the same time expands the labor object. Every step of the development of irrigation technology itself is accompanied by the continuous expansion of labor objects and the increase of adaptability to different regions. It is "objects always develop to the lowest potential energy" that determines "water flows downwards", which leads to the use of canals and the use of some land far from rivers; The interaction of "the principle of fluid balance", "the law of conservation of energy transformation" and the principle of electrodynamics leads to the application of water pumps and provides them with power, thus utilizing the land that is not suitable for irrigation with canals. This is a typical example. The emergence of new scientific theories leads to the emergence of new technologies, which leads to the emergence of new tools, the expansion of labor objects and the reduction of people's dependence on nature. Similarly, the development of chemical fertilizer industry, pesticides, indoor cultivation technology and artificial pollination has reduced people's dependence on other elements of land in agricultural activities, while soilless cultivation technology has reduced this dependence to the limit.
The influence of scientific and technological development on war is reflected in the enhancement of people's activity ability, which reduces people's dependence on nature in this respect and makes people's dominant position in war more prominent. In the early wars of human society, people can use a natural barrier to achieve the effect of "one person defends it and ten thousand people can't force it"; Using a river, even if it is only geographically far away, can also avoid local killings, and a weak tribe can also exist. With the emergence and use of long-range killing weapons such as ladders, vehicles, climbing tools, bows and arrows, javelin, etc., the role of natural hazards has been reduced, while modern long-range weapons and powerful weapons have basically lost all their functions; The use of horses, boats and car lights has reduced the role of rivers and distant regions in the war and made people's status prominent.
The influence of scientific and technological development on the war is also reflected in the changes in the role of eleven objects in the war in different periods. For example, the Yangtze River can be an insurmountable barrier in ancient wars and a natural barrier in ancient wars, but if it is moved to the present war, it will only be a river that can stop the enemy to a certain extent. Even some inconvenient strategic and tactical ideas have changed in form because of the change of war tools, and these changes reflect the improvement of people's status and the reduction of natural factors. For example, during the Warring States period, Qin's "vertical integration" strategy, because of the limitation of transportation capacity, had to "make friends far away" and adopted a step-by-step policy. Today, the United States has a strong transportation capacity and is not limited by geographical factors, so it has established military bases around the world and applied this step-by-step strategy. Through comparison, we can also find that in the early tough battles, long-range killing weapons such as bows and arrows were always used first, and then cavalry, chariots and infantry were used for hand-to-hand combat; During World War II, artillery was generally used to bomb each other's positions first, and then tank soldiers and infantry exchanged fire at close range; In modern warfare, long-range bombers, airborne or ship-borne missiles and long-range missiles are used to attack key parts of the enemy before close combat.
Finally, it should be pointed out that it is not the development of science and technology that plays a great role in human development. Different stages of human development consciously put forward corresponding requirements for tools and labor objects, which further promoted the development of science, so this made the process of interaction. On the one hand, the development of science and technology has expanded people's ability and reduced people's dependence on nature; On the other hand, people are far away from nature. The development of science and technology has promoted human development, and it can be predicted that it will also be the main driving force to bring people to complete liberation.
