Argumantative essay about Posthumanism and Transhumanism
Hi, could someone check this essay for me? Note: I posted this essay before, but no one checked it. All of you told me that the topic was not clear. Now I modified it somewhat and the topic is Posthumanism and Transhumanism.
Here is my draft:
Every aspect of our life has been shaped by technology, from the way we get around, the way we seek information and the way we communicate. It has become easy for us to shape the world we live in. The many inventions we use allow us to transform our environment, explore the unknowns and give us new medical developments that can help us live longer. Some technologies like enhancement technologies make it possible to reshape humanity in various ways. With these useful developments, sharing knowledge has become easy and require less effort than before. The information can easily get into the hands of individuals and organizations that can use it however they like. While some aspects of these technologies are useful for humans, some intellectuals used them to modify humans' nature and develop humans' knowledge enormously as what is known as Posthumanism and Transhmanism which.
Transhumanism is a way of thinking about merging humans with modern science and knowledge to make an intelligent life and destroy humans' limitations. Transhumanism has a relation with Enlightenment as both focus on destroying ignorance and building rational people, and means that that humans' current form is not the final but the start of a new one shaped by science and reason to enhance humans' intellectual and psychological capabilities. Transhumanism requires building a social movements to enhance humans' capabilities rather than staying in the ordinary form of society, and it aims to improve human conditions by using advanced technologies. This means that Transhumanism and technology are linked. Transhumanism has many aspects. The first aspect is super longevity. This movement aims to reduce the number of people who die because of aging. Modern medicine should keep us alive and healthy as long as we want. The second aspect is super intelligence. Nowadays, people are in cooperative relationship with technology. You can send your thoughts to people on the other side of the planet very fast. Thus, by using new methods and modern developments, humans can evolve to become intelligent and as urban as possible.
Posthumanism is enhancing humans' physical and psychological abilities by merging humans with technologies. It is derived from redesigning humans' body using advanced technologies such as genetic engineering and Nano technology. Technology is the most important issue in evolving to become a posthuman as the new species will be a mixture of a human and an advanced technology. Posthumanists destroyed all the limitations that can stand against their development like religion and customary beliefs. A posthuman is no longer a normal person as some of his typical organisms have been replaced by technology. Posthumanists tried to reach levels that normal people can't reach. For example, they tried to become smarter than all geniuses, control aging and control their desires and moods as they want. To be a posthuman means to have thoughts that normal brain can't endure. They can share their thoughts and feelings directly which means destroying boundaries between people's minds. This process can create a new type of living things as the type produced from merging human with a machine or the one from changing humans' DNA. This process can transform our life completely.
In conclusion, technology has inspired many intellectuals to go far beyond our normal thinking. The idea of reshaping our bodies and lives has become plausible and well-known students and internet users. This idea has positive and negative sides. It can make our life faster and easier, but it failed because some aspects of it are bigger than what our body can endure, and living with a lot of technologies can cause harmful radiation that could cause some dangerous diseases like cancer. While technology is a major side in both, Posthumanism depends on it much further and view it from different angle which means that technology reduction from our life is impossible. Transhumanism aims the improvement of man whereas Posthumanism seeks to surpass it which means that the first is a process and transitional state and the other one is a result. Transhumanism and Posthumanism can change humans, culture and society.
