SECTION 2 Human Flourishing in Progress and De-development

2.2.a What is the framework of de-development of rich countries about?

Answer:
Rich countries are de-developing because of their excessive resource use, which puts
the world and society in danger because we are populating the globe beyond its capacity.
Additionally, Hickel asserts that economic expansion is no longer a viable option

2.2.b How is the de-development framework different from traditional frameworks of

development?
Answer:
The de-development framework sees people living long, healthy, contented lives
regardless of class (lower, middle, or higher), which is the difference between the two
frameworks.Even though our world is overpopulated and it has negative effects, the
traditional framework of development looks for more economic growth to make our lives
even better.I compare it to people who are trying to find something better because they are
not yet satisfied with what they have. It is acceptable to search for more and better
economies, but we must take into account the fact that the world is already overpopulated.

2.2.c According to Hickel, how can rich countries de-develop?

Answer:
Hickel contends that wealthy nations can slow their rate of development by
conserving resources and thinking of creative ways to bring wealthy nations up to the level of
development through efficient and contented living

2.2.d Why does Hickel frown upon pundits using terms such as degrowth, zero growth, or de-
development an alternative framework?
Answer:
Hickel scowled because the nation's advancement is hampered by the pundits' use of
these words.Although Hickel acknowledged that this terminology is technically accurate,
some people still find it offensive.And according to him, it effectively amounts to telling
people to stop evolving, changing, and pursuing happiness in life.
2.2.e Do you agree with de-development?
Answer:
Yes!because according Hickel reassured us that this wasn't about renunciation but
rather about bettering our lives and achieving a higher state of comprehension and
consciousness.We must take into account and modify how people live, particularly those in
developing nations.

QUESTION: Determine the different issues related to Science,Technology

and Society. Choose one issue and discuss this in your own words (200-300)

Technology is the process of integrating science into daily life. Science is

an intellectual understanding of the world based on experimentation and
observation.
Discover examples of how science and technology might be applied to resolve
societal challenges and think about how the future might be altered if this is
done. Numerous problems have been caused by the current election
campaign.Sadly, one of the most significant strategic difficulties facing the
Philippines is the critical role of science and technology in the country's growth
plan.

The development of a country is now commonly recognized to be

influenced by science, technology, and innovation (STI).In actuality, no country
has developed without making STI a crucial part of its development plan.The
focus of the policies of the world's progressive nations is STI.The Philippines
has not been able to accomplish this.
The approaching presidential election must address this matter, and the new
administration must correct this error.

Science, technology, and innovation (STI) are essential to the solution to

our problems.The Philippines, however, is now ill-equipped to meet these
problems. Research and development (R&D), human resource development,
and physical infrastructure are all areas of science and technology (S&T) where
we could be spending more money. Even the bare minimum of scientists and
technicians is lacking today for progress driven by innovation.

As a result, we have poor levels of industrial and agricultural

productivity, general inefficiency, and a paltry production of knowledge
products like discoveries, patents, and scientific publications. There isn't
enough local investment to take on highly skilled scientists and technologists
in those areas.

Consequently, we are making a losing attempt to stop the flow of our

highly qualified personnel to nations.STI has also been unable to achieve its
objectives of poverty reduction and sustainable development because the S&T
sector, in particular, and Philippine society as a whole are burdened by
antiquated legal, financial, and administrative rules and practices that stifle
R&D, innovation, and productivity. NAST consequently suggests implementing
the following regulations and/or initiatives: Agriculture, Micro, Small and
Medium Enterprises, Manufacturing, Health and Nutrition, Environment and
Climate Change, and Brain drain and science Education
