Point / Counterpoint by Zulma Prieto / Joe Rueff |
|
|
The people everywhere are speaking loud and clear. They are expressing
their opinions about many issues. In United States two of the main
issues are the anti-immigrant policies that are been discussed in the
Senate, but also the protests against the war in Iraq. |

Counterpoint By Joe Rueff |
|
|
As we look across the world we see so much suffering, so much despair,
so much fear. We see it in Africa, in North Korea, and especially is the
heat of the Middle East. And yet, as Zulma has said, there can be hope.
We are in an age of exponentially growing change. That change is
reflected in technologies that can drastically improve the human
condition, whether through nanotechnology for medicine or through
unprecedented world-wide communications between both friends and
potential enemies. However, the same tools can bring catastrophic harm
on a global scale if we don’t work together to resolve the problems that
confront us. |

Cuando miramos a través del mundo, vemos tanto
sufrimiento, tanta desesperación, tanto temor. Nosotros lo vemos en
Africa, en Corea del Norte, y especialmente en el calor del Medio
Oriente. Y todavía, como Zulma ha dicho, puede haber esperanza. Estamos
en una edad de cambio exponencialmente creciente. Ese cambio se refleja
en las tecnologías que pueden mejorar drásticamente la condición humana,
ya sea a través de la nanotecnología para la medicina o a través de
comunicaciones mundiales sin precedentes entre amigos y enemigos
potenciales. Sin embargo, las mismas herramientas pueden traer daño
catastrófico a escala mundial si no trabajamos juntos para resolver los
problemas que confrontamos. |
