Ethics, Arab Islamic Values, and the Creation of Civilization

Technology is a double-edged sword. The first edge is positive, beneficial to humans, providing them with comfortable working conditions, while the other edge is negative; causing harm through behaviors and actions that deviate from what is familiar. Humans, as creators of machines and technology, can harm themselves and corrupt their nature, transforming it into evil traits. Today, the world stands on the threshold of the twenty-first century in a completely new, if not strange, situation, represented by the growing challenge posed by science and its applications to ethics and moral conscience.
