If someone discovers a cure for the common cold, should he or she hide it to protect the jobs of allt he people who work in the huge cold-medicine industry?
Identify reasons why so many people react negatively to advances in technology that eliminates some jobs.
If someone does discover a cure for the common cold. they should publish it. It is something important that would really benefit people in general. The jobs of the people in the cold-medicine industry wouldn't be too affected as the companies that do make cold-medicine often have other products too.
People would react negatively if something else was advanced that would eliminate jobs. For example if an entire factory, including the operators, was mechanized. This would unnecessarily eliminate jobs that have no need to be eliminated. Also, by mechanizing everything. there are many mistakes that can be made that wouldn't be made had there been a human operator.
