MODERN SOCIETY
It alters our view of the world by radically destroying
values
Before: abortion (murder of innocent life)
Now: reproductive rights, womens sexual freedom,
betray the sanctity and dignity of human life
Before, abortion is a big deal because everyone gives
importance to life. Now, abortion is common and
already legal to almost all countries.
What is legal is not always moral!
Instruments used by modern society to alter our view of
the world:
Politics
o So influential!
o Kapag sila nagsasabi, daming naniniwala at
sumusunod
o Fortunately, the educated people dont
always follow them.
o But the question is, who are the educated
people? What do you think?
Science
o Our environment have been affected because
of the advanced technology
o Ex: global warming
Economics
o Now, before the doctors treat the patient, they
think first if the patient can pay. Tsktsk!
Technology
o Ex: Stem cell therapy at first stages, this is
safe and okay, but during the latter stages,
there will already be changes in anatomy and
physiology of the person which is very risky.
