Hauptbeschreibung
Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Philosophy - Practical (Ethics, Aesthetics, Culture, Nature, Right, ...), University of the Philippines (Philippine Military Academy), course: Master of Arts in Social and Development Studies, language: English, abstract: “Humanity has been transformed into killing automatons.” This was briefly posited by E. F. Schumacher when he identified the current situation and perspective on human development. Human development, in all its undertakings, is measured through profit-maximization and technological advancement at the expense of culture, human-ness and environment. Many, particularly “experts” from the developed countries and from underdeveloped countries educated through western education, celebrates the alleviation of the “problem of production”.
Only through the complete exhaustion of natural resources efficiency is maximized and only through the abuse of human workforce can effectiveness be worth celebrating. However, profit maximization and technological advancement only wiped away humanity and capiturism (the greed-driven capitalism and consumerism spiraling out of control) has transformed every individual into greedy, discontented automatons; the catastrophic human desolation and destruction.
