The Role of Technology in the Moral Life of Citizens

Technology is an inseparable part of today’s life, which plays a crucial role in the formation of the cultures of societies and changes in people’s lifestyles. The moral culture or moral lifestyle has always been there from the origins of man, and the impact of technology on it is remarkable. One effective infrastructure in the realization of moral life is technology and its deployment in the management of the public. By deployment of technology in devising the requisite infrastructures, it is possible to eliminate the grounds for encounters with moral conflicts and challenges, and consequently, the minimization of the costs of moral action throughout the society. In this paper, we assume that the application of technology with certain considerations can change personal and social conditions of people in the society such that it might minimize the circumstances in which immoral action is possible. Thus, here we seek to account for how the development and application of technology might lead to moral actions and promote morality in the society.
