【Lecture 1】
Dr. Christine Mbabazi Mpyangu
‘Technology as a threat to African values and Norms’
<Abstract>
Technology has found its place on the globe generally and on the African continent in particular. It is influencing almost all spheres of life in different ways. It is appreciated as an answer to several challenges of development, education, job execution among many others in society. Regardless of that, technology is seen as a threat to African values and norms. This is on the premise that many people’s life styles have greatly been affected by the available services, devices and applications for consumption. African values and norms of togetherness, marriage, family life, relationships, work ethics and interaction as well as means of instruction are gradually being forgotten, neglected, despised and undermined by the people and especially the young generation. This discussion is aimed at sharing the level to which technology is appreciated on one hand and much more highlight how it is emerging as a threat to African values and norms. An attempt to discuss how this threat can be mitigated is also made.
【Lecture 2】
‘An Asset or Liability? The Impact of New Technology on the Contemporary Society’
Mr. Gordon Ainebyona
<Abstract>
The advancements in technology have not only brought changes in our society but also the environment of crime which in some of its new forms poses a serious threat to society. There is no doubt that the wide spread use of personal computers and high speed internet significantly increases computer related crimes. Whereas the criminals have exploited the new technologies to facilitate and maximise criminal activities, the criminal justice system on the other hand uses it to control criminal activities. Although high technology crimes are becoming increasingly sophiscated, the law enforcement agencies in most countries appear to be ill prepared to confront the challenge. Unlike the individuals from the developed nations who have benefited from the use of technology, the citizens from low income countries are counting the cost. The contest between the state and the criminals to gain technological edge therefore creates urgency to the need to develop appropriate responses to technology related crimes.
