| description | Abstract: This paper discusses instances of the way technology of information and communication despises human beings in Dan Fulani’s The Power of Corruption and shows the ways in which the Western world victimizes and undertakes to recolonize the African countries.

The study identifies the elements that make technology a source of conflicts and validates the idea that technology without minimum ethics is detrimental to human welfare. |
