Civilization is Man's Work
Hands that once only carved and gathered, today use computers and make plans to live with robots. Mankind is almost in competition with the world of science-technology-innovation that he has created. The difference between cavemen and modern-day people is a very clear result of cultural development. The rise of man is the rise of civilization.
Civilization exists for man, it is the work of man, and it develops to the extent that it encompasses and embraces all people. The common mind is the development of all humanity and the benefit of the world's blessings.
Civilization is the sum of human efforts to recognize and control nature and self-governing forces. It is the accumulation of culture in this direction. In order to protect himself from the forces of nature and to defend himself, man has observed nature, recognized it, and reached scientific facts by determining its laws. With the techniques he has developed, he has learned to use science at the most optimal level.
Humanity uses civilization for its own future, peace, comfort and convenience. Don't we owe it to civilization to be able to communicate instantly by e-mail, instead of the letters that are first written on paper and then put in envelopes, instead of reaching the recipient weeks later by changing various means?..
Radio concerts, which we could hardly listen to due to the parasitic noises they made, are a thing of the past. Now, we can enjoy the musical feast of the orchestras by leaning on the sofas in our home, with the images reflected from the big glass screens of the televisions. Our grandmothers, even our mothers, would add the ash from the barbecue to the water and press the white laundry into this water. In the morning, they would take the laundry that remained all night out of this lye, rinse it with plenty of water and put on our white shirts. Now, the washing machines that are rotated with a pinch of detergent make everything sparkling in an hour. In our childhood, our fathers used to climb the stairs wearily to the upper floors of the houses after work. Now, by pressing a button on the elevator, we reach the top floors of the buildings competing with the sky in a few seconds.
It is the extraordinary development of science and technique that gives the western civilization its real color and strength. The level of civilization that human beings have reached for the first time in history, thanks to computers that undertake the brain function, is that they have gained the strength to stand without exploiting other people.
Medical science has extended the lifespan of human beings, giving them the chance to benefit from the blessings of life for many more years. The development of the economy at a scientific level, with the effect of technology, has provided a significant increase in the material welfare and wealth of people, and therefore states.
The means of communication and the rapidly developing means of transportation have brought the continents and people closer together. Anyone who enters the system is instantly aware of what is going on in any part of the world, even if it is in the most remote part of the world. Every part of the world is now in a location that can be reached and reached. In this way, people have gained the necessary free time to improve themselves. Machines used in production, transportation, communication and homes offer this to people.
Throughout history, people have observed that unity makes the society safe and strong, the benefits of cooperation and solidarity, and their contribution to their progress. Starting from the family, they learned to benefit from the peace of togetherness and the energy of solidarity by establishing unions that reach nations, including non-governmental organizations, social and political unions, various charities, thought clubs, and economic structures.
The tools and opportunities offered by science and technology have enabled the culture created by nations to spread globally, and all people to benefit from it. The loss of knowledge has also been prevented in the transfer of civilization and cultural heritage to future generations. With the vehicles produced, the economic level of people has increased and their daily lives have become much easier.
Civilization has shortened the time with fast transportation and communication tools, and it is very useful for people to have fun, have a good time and educate themselves.
Numerous cultural products and virtual environments have provided entertaining educational opportunities.
According to British mathematician Alfred North Whitehead, one of the most important thinkers of the 20th century;
* Respect for human and human rights as human beings
*Freedom in the sense of self-actualization
*Wisdom with the power to transform the individual and society
It is possible to achieve civilization when the conditions that determine the environment in which civilization will emerge.
While I wholeheartedly agree that civilization with all it has brought and brought is a blessing for humanity, as we see the last days of our world, Nietzsche said, "We are living in an age of civilization that is in danger of being destroyed by civilization!" I can't help but justify what he said.
