People
have different opinions on robots. Although some people argue that robots have
negative effects on our society, I strongly believe that the advantages of
robots outweigh the disadvantages of that. This is because robots can bring
convenience and efficiency to modern society.In this essay, I will outline the
both views as well as my personal opinion regarding this phenomenon. On
the one hand, there have been worries about robots because robots could boost
dehumanization and reduce employment rate specially in manufacturing or service
parts where employees can be easily replaced by muchines and robots. For example,
I have knew a student who want to raise robot pets rather than real pets. The
reason why he want to is that robot pets don’t need to be washed or feed often.
Also, because robot pets can’t feel any negative emotions like lonliness, he
can leave his house longer whenever without any concern about the pet. This
example illustrates that how dehumanization can be extreme. To communicate with
pets and share each other’s emotion is essential part of our life. A study
conducted by Seoul National University has revealed that about 50% of jobs in
Korea factories have been replaced by robots. Robots have caused reduction in
factory jobs such as car factory workers and shoes factory workers. The unemployees
have to resume their job without any specific, practical education that is
essentail to gain other kinds of jobs. Therefore, It is evident that robots
have many negative effects on contemporary society. On
the other hand, some assert that robots have brought many benefits to people in
terms of convenience and efficiency. Robots can achieve many works more faster
and more effecively than human. It is true that in some areas like counselling
and arts sympathy ability and creativity of human are better than that of
robots. However, robots can do many practical things in factories and
households beyond our expectation. In fact, many manufacturing factories have
experience the increase of productino rate, which leads to economic
development. Robots in factories can make products in precise and faster way. Also,
in households robot cleaners have been increasingly used to clean the broaden
floor of house. Humans don’t need to move around to clean their house. If it
were not for robots, we would not experience such convenience life and economic
development.
In conclusion, there are mixed opinions on robots. Robots cause
people to loss their humanitiy and their job. However, they can brought
convenience and efficiency to our society. As can be seen, the more convenient
and efficient society will come up. |
