Sinossi
The social issues of our age have the power to provoke either curiosity or fear – both aspects of what it means to ‘fascinate’. The opportunities we face require imagination and a new way of thinking, yet change must be pursued with an eye on the possible future implications of present-day choices.
FASCINATING TIMES takes a sharp-eyed look at some of the major technological and social challenges of our time and explores their potential impact on social ethics and the future of society. The human impact of new technologies and shifting medical ethics, the long-term effects of recession, the future of media and the press, the changing face of consumerism, the future shape of marriage – these are just a few of the issues explored.
Extras include: Group Study Guide, Personal Reading Guide, Online Media Resources.
