Education, science, technology and ethics as pillars of modern society

Abstract

In an increasingly interconnected and advanced world, education, science, technology, and ethics emerge as cornerstones for the development and progress of our societies. Nonetheless, significant ethical challenges surface, demanding profound reflection. How do we ensure that education cultivates conscious and responsible citizens within such a complex landscape? What role does ethics play in science and technology, and how can we integrate these values into a rapidly advancing world? Is disorder necessary to promote ethics in contemporary society? This essay will explore the development of these cornerstones, drawing upon Morín's tetralogical loop (1999) and Díaz's critical perspective (2021), as a framework for navigating the complexities of these interrelated fields, seeking a balance between order and disorder to address the ethical dilemmas arising in our modern society.
