2. Social Consciousness

With progress comes loss!

As our technological capability increases individuals need to have a sense of what is right or wrong within society (moral sense)

We must be aware of the impact to society that new creative developments have (ethical sense)

The goal of social consciousness: “Aim to improve society”
