Synthetic Disasters
Our technological prowess makes dramatic advancements daily. With these advancements, intentionally or not, often come negative implications. This progress has led to more effective and lethal warfare and weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear and biochemical weapons. Intentionally, government greed or ethnic hatred affect millions of people and the environment on a vast scale. Unintentionally, the global connectedness also allows epidemics to develop into deadly pandemics.
Sometimes, the advancements in technology are not utilized effectively to mitigate these harms. Unlike the days of the Holocaust, advanced communications in the modern age strips away the excuse of ignorance in allowing the genocide in Sudan to continue. Other times, governments do not act appropriately to prevent other catastrophes. Thus, this section examines how our governments can respond to such synthetic disasters.
