What do high-tech ethical issues and scientific and technological moral practice mean respectively?

High-tech ethics: the development of modern high-tech has had a strong impact on ethics. The most striking thing in the development of science and technology is the rapid rise of modern high technology and its amazing changes. With the development of modern high-tech, every major achievement of it has had a great impact on the existing moral concepts of human beings and put forward new challenges to moral construction. For example,

(1) After the combination of computer and communication technology, the Internet was born, which greatly changed people's work, life and communication, brought about epoch-making great progress, and also had a great impact on ethics (such as computer hacking, personality defects, information pollution, information security, infringement of personal privacy, intellectual property rights and cultural hegemony, etc.). ) and become a hot spot in today's society.

(2) Biotechnology has brought great changes to human production and life and the environment on which we live. At the same time, artificial insemination technology, IVF and cloning technology have caused ethical problems that affect human evolution, human diversity and complexity, human dignity, social and ethical relations. The problems of gene patenting, gene discrimination, the danger of human intervention in life, gene determinism and so-called eugenics, as well as the negative ethical problems in gene therapy caused by gene technology and human genome research, have aroused the ethical fear of the whole society.

(3) The development of nuclear technology has aroused people's deep worries about nuclear war, nuclear pollution, elimination of nuclear threats, nuclear blackmail by superpowers and other issues in safeguarding world peace and safeguarding human security.

(4) The competition for space resources, the peaceful use of space and the protection of space environment caused by the development of space technology have become global issues.

(5) Ethical issues in the development of nanotechnology. The development of nanotechnology will enable mankind to make some micro and ultra-micro devices or some small intelligent machines by mobilizing single molecules and atoms. They can be used in many different fields. Implantation into human body or brain is one of its attractive application fields, but it may also bring unpredictable potential dangers to human beings. Inevitably, it has caused a certain "moral vacuum", created a "moral crisis" panic for people, and brought great influence to the coordination and stability of social life order. The most striking thing in the development of science and technology is the rapid rise of modern high technology and its amazing changes. With the development of modern high-tech, every major achievement of it has had a great impact on the existing moral concepts of human beings and put forward new challenges to moral construction.

Therefore, we should pay attention to and study the ethical problems caused by high technology, pay attention to all aspects that scientific and technological progress may have an impact on traditional ethics, so as to avoid or reduce the social chaos caused by this impact, and at the same time raise awareness and evaluate the positive and negative effects of scientific and technological development.

Science and technology ethics refers to the moral consciousness and norms about the relationship between people, people and nature, and people and society that should be established and followed in the process of developing and applying science and technology. The progress of science and technology affects the development of ethics indirectly and directly, and the direct influence of modern science and technology on ethics is more and more prominent. Scientific and technological progress has both positive and negative effects on the development of ethics. The development of science and technology should be carried out under the guidance of correct ethics to make it develop healthily in the direction of benefiting mankind, but the progress of science and technology needs the correct guidance of ethics. For example, the consequence of the ecological crisis brought by the development of science and technology is that human beings have been carried away by the success of conquering nature for a long time, and have not put themselves in the right position in nature, and mistakenly regarded themselves as the masters and rulers of nature, but have wantonly exploited nature and exploited various resources. It can be said that where science and technology will develop, whether it will benefit or harm mankind, is not determined by science and technology itself, but must rely on the power of ethics. Only under the guidance of correct ethics can the development of science and technology better play its positive role and make it develop healthily in the direction of benefiting mankind, and the negative impact of the development of science and technology on society and ethics can only be eliminated and alleviated through moral adjustment. Therefore, scientific and technological progress needs the correct guidance of ethics.

Because scientific and technological personnel are the main body of scientific and technological activities, how they engage in scientific and technological activities largely determines the direction of scientific and technological activities. Therefore, scientists and technicians should enhance their sense of social responsibility, actively and cautiously engage in scientific research and develop science and technology. With the strengthening of the influence of modern science and technology on ethics, science and technology have more and more moral and ethical implications. As the main body of scientific and technological activities, scientific and technological workers should have a clear understanding of this. When engaging in scientific research activities, we should not simply "science for the sake of science", but should fully consider the consequences of the activities, establish a universal belief in truth, goodness and beauty, and turn from simple truth-seeking to the unity of truth, goodness and beauty. Firmly grasp the direction of scientific research and the practical application of technology, carefully measure whether various technological choices meet the needs of mankind and whether they will bring harm to mankind, and pay attention to closely combining scientific research with the overall long-term interests of mankind.
