Technology plays a huge role on ethics. Dating back to when humans first learned how to use spears, bows, and arrows.

Even then, there must have been disagreement on when to use these technologically advanced killing tools. A set of rules that governed how these technologies would be used.

You can even compare ancient weapons to it to our modern day weaponry such as bombs, firearms, and nuclear weapons.

With every newly developed technology, ethics will always be involved.

We as a species, can either decide to use the technology for good or for evil, based on our own individual perspectives of what is right and what is wrong. We can even say that when it comes to technology, there is no good or evil, nor right or wrong. Technology just is. It is up to us to decide how it is used.

Since we all have our own system of morale principles, it's very difficult for societies to decide what is best.

This is why we have culture and it is why have we politics. It is a merging of ideas, traditions, values, world and spiritual perspectives.

Although societies are not perfect, we try and make the best of what we have on this planet, together, as a species.
