28、rganizations or society over their members and for invading the privacy of those members has caused considerable concern.The privacy issue has been raised most insistently with respect to the creation and maintenance of data files that assemble information about persons from a multitude of sources.
29、Files of this kind would be highly valuable for many kinds of economic and social research, but they are bought at too high a price if they endanger human freedom or seriously enhance their opportunities of blackmailers. While such dangers should not be ignored, it should be noted that the lack of c
30、omprehensive data files has never before been the limiting barrier to the suppression of human freedom.Making the computer the villain in the invasion of privacy or encroachment on civil liberties simply divers attention from the real dangers. Computer data bank files can and must be given the highe
31、st degree of protection from abuse. But we must be careful also, that we do not employ such crude methods of protection as to deprive our society of important data it needs to understand its down social processes and to analyze its problems.Perhaps the most important question of all about the comput
32、er is what it has come and will do to mans view of himself and his place in the universe. The most heated attacks on the computer are not focused on its possible economic effects, its presumed destruction of job satisfaction, or its threat to privacy and liberty, but upon the claim that it causes pe
33、ople to be viewed, and to view themselves, as machines.What the computer and progress in artificial intelligence challenge are an ethic that rests on mans apartness from the rest of nature. An alternative ethic, of course, views man as a part of nature, governed by nature law, subject to the forces
34、of gravity and the demands of his body. The debate about artificial intelligence and the simulation of mans thinking is, in considerable part, a confrontation of these two views of mans place in the universe.（分数：5.00）(1).Why is it important to prevent the abuse of computer data banks?

39、al totalitarian regime under the ideological banner of National Socialism, or Nazism. His drive for empire Line resulted in the devastation of World War II, culminating in Germanys defeat and the reordering of world power relationships. Hitler failed as a student in the classical secondary schools,
40、a situation that contributed to his desire to become an artist. He went to Vienna in 1907 but was unable to gain admission to the Academy of Fine Arts. He lived a shadowy, alienated existence in multiracial Vienna until 1913. His years were characterized by melancholy, aimlessness, and racial hatred
41、in Vienna he developed his lifelong obsession with the danger that world Jewry posed to the Aryan race.Hitlers rise to power paralleled the unstable course of the Weimar Republic, which replaced the fallen Hohenzollern monarchy(霍亨索伦王朝). The abortive Communist revolution in Germany and the dictated P
42、eace of Versailles determined Hitlers decision to enter politics. In 1919 he joined a small political faction in Munich and within the next year formed the National Socialist German Workers Party. He directed the organizations with an iron hand and used its meetings to deliver forceful rhetorical as
43、saults on Germanys enemies. In 1923 he led the party into the ill-fated Munich Putsch. This action resulted in his imprisonment.While in prison at Landsberg, Hitler wrote Mein Kampf(我的奋斗)(德语), which became the standard work of Nazi political philosophy. He defined the enemy as world Jewry, internati
44、onal communism, effete liberalism, and decadent capitalism. Hitler offered instead pure Aryan blood and the renewal of German nationalism under a fighting elite.
