Technological Culture And Human Subjectivity: Ethical Issues

This article intends to explore the ethical issues on the technological and cultural life of human society. It is our contention that ethical values are essential components of a technological and cultural system which has bonding force that responds to the specific needs, aspirations and ideals of humankind. Cultural values can transform human society by applying acquired knowledge into practice. Technology is a part of human culture and different cultures could treat technological values in different ways with different cultural groups attaching different symbolic values to the same kind of technology. The main emphasis is centred on the ethical which is an issue that highlights the good life. The major concern is the applicability of traditional ethical philosophy that has sought to replicate on the relationship of ethics, culture and technology in the present society.
