13. Modernism and our traditional socio-ethical values

Can a culture  be so vulnerable that any other contemporary culture pose a threat to its existence by infusing its values.Our debate presents a idea of fear for decreasing traditional values in the light of so called modern values.The word modernism however is used to describe certain trends in art, writing, criticism and philosophy that have had a powerful influence on the development and experience of the 20th century. Conventionally we can date these trends from the last decade of the 19th century (1890) to about the beginning of the 2nd world war in 1939.Modernism reflects intangible social values,beliefs ideology under modernity than the centralising around material culture.Material culture changes rapidly as compared to non material culture that is ideological change.It is called cultural lag.whenever a change comes a reaction found to counter the change and resist it .This resistance makes change gradual and bring at a suitable pace so that other related things also change in compatible manner.
                Foremost,the question arise is that whether modernism and traditional socio-ethical values are compatible and can coexist together or antagonistic to each other.the clear cut answer is difficult to find out.Let us take a example that people are now more secular than before.Is it means the religion will wipe out from traditional society one day. No but definitely the the religion will be restricted to individual more and more than a collective idea.Both modernism and traditional socio-ethical values are differed but impact each other subtly and give birth to new fused values which is a fine mix of modernism and tradition.
                        Values are beliefs hold by humans as subjects of a society for judging moral good or bad conduct and behaviour.While a try to find out about something that whether it is ethical or not ,is a systematic investigation of finding good or bad with certain principles of theoretical construct.It is enquiry to find out what is good or bad and why.
Socio-ethical values related to judgement of good and bad are hold collectively by a group or societ

12. Increasing computerization would lead to the creation of a dehumanized society.

Intro:

The invention of computers in second half of 20th century and later its ubiquitous presence in all domain of human life,certainly transformed the society at a fast,deepened and broadened way.Even some are arguing that excessive use of computers dehumanising the society.though arguments has its own merits because computerisation has reduced the frequency of human to human interaction.But the opposite view is also true which says that computers will give humans more free time by reducing the drudgery so that we can choose to spend more time with family and friends.

Computerisation is increasing at a relentless pace and registered its presence so deeply and ubiquitously that no part of human life ans society is untouched to computers.Now we can see computers,laptops,tablets,mobile phones,robots etc. are proliferating and invading our society more broadly,deeply and intensely.We can see day to day improvements in its technology both hard and soft.it increases efficiency and saves time in any operation where used. Globalization also putting pressure on individual,organisation and countries to increase efficiency where computers are protagonist.the view that computerization is leading to dehumanization may have its own arguments and its cogency.then definitely there are some phenomena which are causing to loose human of  there basic immemorial and universal biological and social instincts.
         First computerisation is cause behind digitisation of society and its being.After influencing from computers way of making decision and arguments on binary logic ,humans started thinking at the same pattern and trying to make objective decision in every field whether physical science,social science and other aspects of its life where feelings,emotions and mutual bonds are dominant.Because of this approach free flow of human emotions,ideas and ultimately value based life hinders which furthers reduces quality of human life.
       Second,due to computerization,automation of industries replaces manual labour with machines and robots.The high skilled workers only interact with machines and robots which reduces human to human interrelationship and causing dehumanization of corporate life.
            Third, if in social and economic life the front face of society will become the computers and all good and services are delivered online.Then in all ,social life will contain interpersonal relation at much reduced frequency and intensity.
             Fourth,far distant relation are now easy to maintain by the use of computers and internet through emails and social media.When we observe dehumanisation phenomenon ,it can contain two aspects first,in general the human values like openness,warmth and emotions are reducing in contents from beings of society.Second,on e man is considering the other as less human or mere utility objects.When far distant relation are maintained digital world,the relations are there to fulfill the emotional need of us but not because emotional attachment is there thats why relations are sustained.how the utilitarian aspect intruding in emotional bondage.
Due to computerisation we have entered into the Information age 
which is also called Second industrial revolution or IT revolution.the existing digitised corpus of information which further facilitate the information as commodity/instrumental leads to devalue of humans in the similar way ,as observed in capitalism where capital and machine led to alienation in Society ,according to Marx.However everything comes in package so the computers in digital world.It is the humans who would decide the fate of their society by evaluating all aspects of computerisation.The focus of every invention must be enrichment of human life ,comfort and well being of humans and collective,common rich social life.So we may rely on computerisation and related aspects to extend human civilization on the planet Earth by facilitating sustainable social,economic,political and cultural life to humans.
