It can be pointed out that technology has taken our society by a storm, both positively and negatively. It has made communication, access to information and economic development easier on the one hand. Conversely, it is ethically and socially problematic in terms of the digital divide and data privacy. In this aspect, the reflection as to the responsible use of technology and the encouragement of citizen interest in its development and regulation is required. To begin with, the question to which one would like to find an answer is the following.
How to foster a responsible and transformative technology use in Latin America with regard to ethical concerns and digital inclusion issues as well as citizen participation? In this light, it is pertinent to commence in the first part by formulating the correlation among ethics and the mutation of nature by the technology. The second part requires knowing the challenges in the view of access to technologies and digital divide in Latin America. Regarding the above, the ethical issues to be considered regarding social responsibility in the use of technology and its orientation.
The promise of emerging tech
To the social change taking into consideration the collective responsibility and individual rights must be discussed, and the responsible use of technology in the Latin America should be promoted. It is noted that technology has enabled people to alter nature to their wants and needs, yet leaves a question of ethics concerning the use of as well as control over the mentioned technology in the light of human well-being and respect towards nature. Actually, the use of technology has its positive and negative sides which are the enhancement and enlargement of ethical frameworks such as availability.
Of the tools and access of information, and surveillance in addition to its dangerous side of abuse and loss of some human abilities. Nevertheless, technology in education may provide both a challenge and an opening, not only when it comes to the development of transferable skills and the decrease in digital divide in Latin America. Apparently, technology has enabled man to change nature in order to satisfy his needs; the question arises on whether we should use and manage technology ethically to benefit humanity and relate with nature satisfactorily.
Overcoming challenges
It is noted that technology is spoken about practically every day, and unlike the notion of science, technology appears to be closer to us due to the fact we realize that we are in it forever. We learn it in the new space we need to explore and make it efficient and effective by cutting time and process, or it is said to be the cause of the distance in people and their depersonalization and its negative outcomes on life and the environment. It is important to mention that technology is a Greek word T e x n (pronounced) tekne), which is defined as art, craft, or skill.
Thus, technology cannot be a thing, i.e., a state of being, but a process, an ability to make alterations or combination of something that already exists to put up something new or assign it with another purpose. Admittedly, this power of transition may be intuitive or (as it happens in our contemporary communities) the knowledge which directly belongs to the sphere of science. Therefore, we shall now discuss the interaction between technology and ethics, as well as, how the former can affect the latter and the transformation of nature. So, the question may arise.
The path forward
How does the utilisation of technology influence our concepts of ethics and responsibility, especially regarding the mutation of nature and the human corpus? Indeed, Kant finds a linkage between nature and morality, and the necessity to abide by morality because of the incompleteness of man. Here, we can say that technology is a cultural component and can change the nature. In this regard, the issue of how technology is related to ethics is posed, yet it is deemed that the knowledge of human history may prove to be the source of the argument to prove.
That the human culture is one of the forms of nature created with the help of technology. In addition it should be known how technology and the human body are related with the argument that bodies technological organs are regarded as technical tools. Conversely, it is necessary to note the importance of reflexivity and capacity to comprehend and express in models and concepts. That being so, analysis of the relationship between ethics and technology, that is to say between ethics and transformation of nature by means of technology, needs to be done.
Conclusion
It can be well seen that there is need to look at the ethical factor in the use of technology in regard to the manner it as been adopted in altering nature and fulfilling the demands of people, and also the effect it has on society. Basically, it is suggested to regulate and responsibly utilize technology to guarantee human well being and respect to nature. So, under this point, it would be interesting to analyze the relationship that exists between ethics and technology, suggesting that technology could enhance and enlarge ethics. In accordance to the world according to Nietzsche.
Cultural perspectives and ethics play a role in the construction of the identity and significance of life since according to him scientific morality and ethical values are cultural practices that are everchanging and fluctuate throughout time. Nietzsche has said that the ethical values developed by a society are determined by the culture. And, having revealed the death of the ideals that make up the culture and tradition, Nietzsche, in his mature works, adds more flesh to his proposal on interpretation, there being today the phenomenon of hermeneutics with which his now famous thought.
