In most cases, scientific and technological progress has brought positive impacts to human life. However, if you must create propaganda materials from a negative perspective to convince people that "scientific and technological progress will only bring disaster and destruction", you can start from the following aspects: ### Emphasize environmental damage 1. **Over-exploitation of resources** - **Content**: Show pictures of mines that have been dug into pieces, and explain that in order to obtain the mineral resources needed for scientific and technological development, such as rare earths for electronic products and coal for energy supply, a large number of mountains have been destroyed and vegetation has disappeared. - **Example**: "With the advancement of science and technology, the demand for various minerals has increased dramatically. The once green mountains are now devastated and the land is fragmented. This not only destroys the ecological balance, but also makes countless animals and plants that rely on these lands lose their homes." 2. **Environmental pollution** - **Content**: Show pictures of polluted rivers and factory chimneys with black smoke, pointing out that the sewage discharged by chemical technology production makes the rivers black and smelly, and the harmful substances in industrial waste gas such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides cause acid rain, corrode buildings, and harm crops. - **Example**: "Scientific and technological progress has brought about large-scale industrial production, but the price is serious environmental pollution. The rivers are no longer clear, and a large number of fish have died; the sky is no longer blue, and acid rain occurs frequently. Our living environment is being eroded step by step by the pollution caused by technology." 3. **Climate warming** - **Content**: Give charts and relevant data on glacier melting and sea level rise to illustrate the energy consumption brought about by technological development, such as the increase in greenhouse gas emissions caused by the large-scale burning of fossil fuels, which in turn causes global warming and frequent extreme weather. - **Example**: "Scientific and technological progress has caused mankind's demand for energy to continue to rise, and the excessive use of fossil fuels has made the earth overwhelmed. The melting of glaciers is accelerating, the sea level is rising, and coastal cities are facing the threat of being submerged. The disaster caused by climate warming is approaching step by step. All of this stems from the negative effects brought about by technological development." ### Highlighting social problems caused by technology 1. **Imbalanced employment structure** - **Content**: List some data on workers in traditional industries who have lost their jobs due to the development of automation technology, such as a large number of assembly line workers in the manufacturing industry who have been replaced by robots, indicating that technological progress has caused a reduction in jobs and a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor. - **Example**: "The rapid development of science and technology has caused many traditional jobs to disappear. Workers who used to make a living by manual labor have lost their jobs, while people with high-tech skills have gained higher incomes. The gap between the rich and the poor in society has continued to widen. Isn't this a disaster brought about by technological progress?" 2. **Privacy Invasion** - **Content**: It tells how Internet technology makes people's privacy invisible, such as big data analysis to collect personal information, Internet companies use this information to accurately push advertisements and even conduct illegal transactions, and surveillance cameras are spread all over the city. People seem to live in a transparent world under surveillance. - **Example**: "In the technological age, we seem to enjoy a convenient online life, but in fact, our privacy is facing unprecedented threats. Big data can see our every move, and cameras record our whereabouts at any time. Our personal information is no longer safe. Isn't this privacy invasion brought about by technological progress terrible?" 3. **Moral and Ethical Dilemma** - **Content**: It mentions the ethical disputes that may be caused by gene editing technology, such as changing the human gene pool and creating "designer babies", ethical conflicts in artificial intelligence when making decisions, and the difficult choice of whether to sacrifice passengers or passers-by in critical moments for self-driving cars. - **Example**: "The cutting-edge development of science and technology has brought us into a moral and ethical dilemma. Gene editing challenges the natural genetic order of human beings, and the ethical problems of artificial intelligence put us in a dilemma. Will these problems brought about by technological progress not push humanity to the brink of destruction?" ### Show the horrific consequences of technology used in war 1. **Weapons of mass destruction** - **Content**: Show pictures of the ruins of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the atomic bomb explosion, and explain the huge destructive power of nuclear weapons, a product of science and technology. An atomic bomb can instantly destroy a city and cause hundreds of thousands of casualties. The long-term effects of nuclear radiation will also endanger future generations. - **Example**: "Scientific and technological progress has given rise to weapons of mass destruction such as atomic bombs. The tragedies of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are still vivid in our minds. Once this destructive force gets out of control, it is enough to destroy human civilization. Isn't this the most terrible disaster brought about by scientific and technological progress?" 2. **Intelligent war weapons** - **Content**: Describe the precision strike capabilities of advanced war weapons such as drones and intelligent missiles, and how they cause a large number of innocent civilian casualties in war, further escalating the cruelty of war. - **Example**: "Today's intelligent warfare weapons are becoming more and more advanced. Drones and smart missiles can accurately strike targets. But in the process, countless innocent civilians are caught up in the flames of war, and their lives and homes are easily destroyed. Technological progress has made war more terrible, which is a disaster for human society." However, it should be made clear that this view is one-sided.
