A cultura do progresso e do desenvolvimento frente à dignidade da pessoa humana e à proteção do trabalhador

Abstract

This work aims to analyze the impacts that technological progress and development have had on societies, specifically with regard to automation, using as a privileged example the replacement of bus collectors by electronic turnstiles. The central point of the study focuses on the question of the conflict between the implantation of technology in the workplace, the principle of human dignity and the fundamental right to protection in the face of automation. To carry out such an analysis, a critical reflection is proposed about the consequences covered by globalization and a capitalist market system, as well as what were its impacts on the means of production, on society itself and on the introduction of the culture of progress and development. Finally, there is an approach on the need for State intervention to ensure the effectiveness of constitutional principles and rights, as well as providing the search for full employment.
