AS A WAY OF
REVEALING
LESSON 2
“It has become appallingly
obvious that our technology has
exceeded our humanity.”
ALBERT EINSTEIN, SCIENTIST
Lesson Objectives
Explain the concept of human condition before
science technology.
Identify the change that happened in human
condition after science and technology
Name ways on how technology aided in revealing
the truth about the human being.
Introduction
Science and technology brought a lot of changes to people not only in terms of
culture, language and rights but most importantly, in their lifestyle or their way
of surviving life. A sufficient reason for those who are in the field of S and T to
turn technology even more accessible and easy-to-use for those people who are
not literate enough.
No doubts that people`s lives have been well improved because of technology.
Adequate education would be great to allow them to see how useful
technology can be.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
BEFORE COMMON ERA
People in the common era are gifted with brains, more
advanced than other creatures. Humans are able to utilize
abundant materials for their own ease and comfort that they
discover new things to motivate their selves to do and use these
tools with purpose.
Homo erectus have been using fire to cook, chipping to
produce a spark without realizing the laws of friction and heat.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
BEFORE COMMON ERA
People discover minerals and began forging metal
works just like their jewelries considered to be a luxury
for all of them such bones of animals they hunt.
Different tribes, different gods as people who lived in
the past knew how to provide their needs by rituals or
ceremonies to their gods.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
IN THE COMMON ERA
Humans are content with their relationship with nature.
Earliest case of non-made extinction occurred over
12,000 years ago, possible brought about by hunting
and territorial disputes. The Holocene extinction is an
ongoing extinction and is a result of human activity.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
IN THE COMMON ERA
Growing population, overhunting and overfishing are
endemics, therefore, it can cause extinction of resources.
They begun to hunt, farm and produce things with
prospects of profit. Technology has been instrumental in
all of these because in searching for the good life, people
were able to come up with creations that would make life
easier , more comfortable and more enriching.
THE HUMAN CONDITION
IN THE COMMON ERA
Advancements in medicine , technology,
health and education ushered in
humanity`s best yet and show no sign of
stopping.
Notable Comparisons
(In the usage of technology of the past and present eras)
Notable Comparisons
1. Mortality Rate- medical care for premature infants allow
them to survive and develop normally, while proper
maternal care ensures that mothers fully cover remain
empowered.
2. Average lifespan- science is able to prolong lives by
enhancing living status and discovering different remedies to
most diseases.
Notable Comparisons
4. Literacy rates- access to education provided to
more individuals generally creates a more informed
public that could determine a more just society.
5. Gross Domestic Product – determine the value
of the country`s goods and services produced
within the territory given a certain time period.
