The June contest #2 by sduttaskitchen| Most inventions exploited for destruction- My views!

Do you believe inventions can bring destruction? Justify.

Yes, I believe inventions are destructive when using them improperly. Although inventions are intended to make life better people in history reveal that some had a destructive effect. The example here is that the nuclear brought clean energy and made devastating weapons. The internet has united people in the whole world, although it has carried with it cybercrime and fake news. Even the most mundane inventions such as plastic which were the darling of convenience are polluting us.

The invention itself is not destructive, the men themselves decide to use it in a destructive way. Even the technology that is beneficial can turn into a threat when it gets into the wrong hands. As such, it is notable that as the inventions can be extremely good, they should be treated in wisdom, and responsibility and with moral instruction that may not result in damage and far-reaching destruction.

What are the main reasons behind any conflict? Share your viewpoint.

The conflicts usually come about due to difference in opinion, values, interests or needs. One of them is ineffective communication, which causes misunderstandings and presumptions. The other one is that of competition on scarce resources like money, power or land. Differences in culture and religion can also provoke a conflict as groups feel either disrespected or attacked by other ones. Tensions are also stirred by injustice, inequality as well as a lack of trust between either individuals or communities.

Other times, personal egos and lack of compromise tend to take small matters and turn them into serious dilemmas. Also, past disputes or past wrongs also tend to break out causing conflicts. I feel that a majority of problems can be either stopped or remedied by open communication, compassion and showing real efforts in getting it in the other person; listening to his or her side of the situation, finding some common grounds.

What are the main points that one should remember while handling power?

Humility and accountability should also be taken with effect when dealing with power. There should be power of service, not power of dominance and exploitation. One should maintain a humble spirit and be ready to listen to other opinions and to be arrogant. When everything is open and not hidden then there is trust built, but corruption kills credibility. It is important to be fair when making decisions as well as being respectful to all people.

Power is a quick way to become corrupt and, therefore, everything should be driven by self-control and moral values. It should not be forgotten that being a leader is not a right but is a privilege and the true power is that of lifting people. Being responsible and willing to accept criticism are some of the ways that support the proper and fair use of power.

"Handle with care" How can we educate society with this term?

Handle with care is such a potent expression that can make the society learn responsibilities, empathy and respect. We can also teach the people to apply it not only to physical things, but to relationships, to the environment, to mental health. An important lesson that schools can educate children regarding is informing them of how to treat other people with kindness and understanding of the consequences of their words and actions.

Campaigning may encourage us to care about the nature, use the resources in a sensible way, and assist the vulnerable people. The question is to instill a message into everyone using media, workshops and community events that anything worthwhile in this world; be it people, feelings, or actually the earth, must be handled tenderly and with care. A compassionate society starts with people who decide to take everything with integrity.
