Discussion Question:

If someone discovers a cure for the common cold, should he or she hide it to protect the jobs of allt he people who work in the huge cold-medicine industry?
Identify reasons why so many people react negatively to advances in technology that eliminates some jobs.

If someone discovers a cure for the common cold, many research jobs could become obsolete and many people would lose their jobs, and the economy would just be sunk. Though this is really wrong, we still must think about the greater good, curing the common cold. By curing the common cold, so many problems are solved, and if a person with bad immunity gets the common cold it could become fatal. This breakthrough could save many lives and it would be selfish to keep it but at the same time it is selfless because that person is trying to save jobs. Oh! The confusion! Most people react negatively to advances to technology because then their trade becomes obsolete and could lead to many financial and economical problems but these people need to ADAPT! This is a shark eat shark eat dog eat dog eat cat eat cat eat fish eat fish world.
