Technology and Morals in Isbens An Enemy of the People and Freuds Civilization and its Discontent :: Enemy People Civilization Discontents
engine room and Morals in Isbens An Enemy of the People and Freuds Civilization and its DiscontentsAs engine room increases do the honourables of society degrade? This is a very scientific question to submit ab place quite an emotional subject. A scientist would ask for a set of data correlating points of increasing technology with corresponding points of moral standards. The brutal truth is that you back tootht know. No one can be accepted about the moral standards of a batch at a veritable time in the past, let alone the present.

However, its still not that hard or expensive to buy a gun and lodge soul. What Im leading up to is that technology does not expunge the morals of a people. It affects how efficiently they can carry out their goals, not their goals directly.
