WHEN TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANITY CROSS RESHAPING SOCIAL STRUCTURES, BEHAVIORS, AND IDENTITIES THIS EFFECT Communication Work Healthcare Education Art and Creativity Ethics 1. COMMUNICATION The rise of social media and instant messaging has transformed how we connect. While it facilitates global interaction, it also raises questions about privacy, authenticity, and mental health.  Automation and AI are changing the landscape of employment, WORK leading to both job displacement and the creation of new roles. This shift prompte discussions about the future of work and the need for re-skilling. Advances in medical technology, like telemedicine and wearable health devices, Healthcare enhance patient care but also introduce ethical concerns regarding data privacy and accessibility.  EDUCATION Technology has revolutionized learning through online courses and educational apps. However, it also highlights disparities in access to resources.  ART AND CREATIVITY Tools like AI-generated art challenge traditional notions of creativity, prompting debates about authorship and the nature of artistic expression. ETHICS AND GOVERNANCE As technology evolves, ethical considerations surrounding A surveillance, and data usage become increasingly critical, necessitating robust frameworks for governance. "BRIDGING HUMANITY AND TECHNOLOGY FOR A BETTER TOMORROW." THANK YOU!!!!  A MILESTONE IN HUMAN RIGHTS HISTORY UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS Presented by: Gwen LG M. Apolonio  UDHR An international document adopted by the United Nations on December 10, 1948. Enshrines the rights and freedoms of all human beings. BACKGROUND Created in response to the atrocities of World War II. Aimed to prevent future human rights violations. DRAFTING PROCESS KEY FIGURES: Chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt. Involved representatives from diverse cultural and political backgrounds. ADOPTION OF THE UDHR Date and Venue Adopted on December 10, 1948, at the Palais de Chaillot in Paris. Voting Outcome Of the 58 UN member states, 48 voted in favor, none against, and eight abstained. STRUCTURE OF THE UDHD Total Articles: 30 articles outlining various rights. Categories of Rights: Civil and Political Rights (Articles 3- 21) Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (Articles 22-27) KEY ARTICLES OVERVIEW Civil and Political Rights: Right to life, liberty, and security (Article 3) Freedom from torture (Article 5) Right to a fair trial (Article 10) KEY ARTICLES OVERVIEW Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: Right to work (Article 23) Right to education (Article 26) GLOBAL IMPACT First document to explicitly define individual rights. Inspired numerous international treaties and national laws. CHALLENGES & CRITICISM Not legally binding; relies on countries' commitment. Some argue it reflects Western ideals more than others. LEGACY OF UDHR Serves as a foundation for international human rights law. Celebrated annually on Human Rights Day (December 10). SUMMARY The UDHR remains a vital reference for promoting and protecting human rights worldwide. The Role of Human Rights in Social Change Equality and Non-Discrimination: Human rights advocate for equality across gender, race, and sexual orientation, which is crucial in addressing systemic inequalities. Social movements have historically leveraged human rights to combat discrimination and promote inclusivity 2 Worker Rights: The evolution of labor laws and protections for workers has been driven by social movements grounded in human rights principles. These movements have led to significant reforms, such as the establishment of unions and regulations on working conditions The Role of Human Rights in Social Change Health Equity: Human rights frameworks emphasize the importance of health equity, linking access to healthcare with broader social determinants such as housing, education, and income. This holistic approach aims to minimize health disparities Technological Development and Human Rights Access to Information: Technology can enhance access to information about human rights, empowering individuals to advocate for their rights. Social media platforms have become vital tools for mobilizing support and raising awareness about injustices Surveillance and Privacy: Conversely, technology can also infringe on privacy rights through surveillance practices by governments and corporations. This raises critical questions about the balance between security and individual freedoms Technological Development and Human Rights Inequality in Access: The digital divide highlights disparities in access to technology, which can exacerbate existing inequalities. Ensuring equitable access to technology is essential for promoting social justice THANK YOU! BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact HUMANS VS ROBOTS BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact As technology continues to progress, robots are becoming cleverer than people and computers learn to perform tasks with greater efficiency than us, it is worrying to think that one day robots will be in every workplace and there will be fewer and fewer jobs available for people. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact Once upon a time, people built cars and drove them. Machines can now do both of these tasks, with robots developed that can drive cars safely, which could mean job losses in the future for bus and taxi drivers. For years now machines have slowly been taking over the role of building cars, in every company and every factory. Toyota however, has decided to take a pace back and hire more human employees, as they feel that as long as they are well trained and really understand the task they are doing, they will bring better quality work than robots. Toyota’s opinion is that machines are like a lot of average workers, whereas people who are trained well are like masters in the workplace, therefore creating better products. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact There are now less people employed in the retail and bank industries, as self-serve machines and ATMs mean that customers can do the most tasks themselves on these, and fewer employees are needed. This is the same for pharmacies, where some are now using robots instead of people to fill in prescriptions. There is even software now that can generate stories and articles, which means less work for writers and reporters, and software that can review documents that would have previously been analyzed by lawyers. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact Machines can now do a lot of human tasks, with even robot astronauts being developed by NASA. Soldiers are also slowing being replaced, first by drones and also with robot soldiers being developed, though this may be seen as an advantage to many as it will save lives. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact However, there are many fields in which humans will not be able to be replaced, like artistic jobs that use our creativity and imagination, something that computers are not able to reach and places such as hospitals. Whilst there are now robots that are performing surgery, not all tasks in a hospital can be undertaken by robots. They may have steadier hands but aren’t capable of connecting on a human level with patients. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact Robots are unable to show compassion like people do and should never be able to replace us when it comes to human interaction. For example, empathy. While building robots that can empathize with humans is the focus of much current research, keep in mind that neither scientists nor philosophers can agree on what emotions actually are. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact Flexibility. Robots are getting better at learning and applying their learnings to new situations, but they are still far from being able to respond to unexpected situations with the same resourcefulness as a person. BORCELLE Home Service About Us Contact Most of the time, new situations still require human intervention and, when available and appropriate, new programming. And the third one acceptability and trust. We, humans, are gradually getting used to having robots in our environments. It will be awhile, however, before the average adult responds to a fully autonomous robot the way they do in futuristic movies — discussing an injury with a quasi-sentient machine as if it were fully able to comprehend the distress. Why The Future Does Not Need Us Why Does the Future Not Need Us?

AI heavily depends on data input to learn. This means it cannot form original thoughts and lacks creativity. Conclusion
