Is STS/STSE Education still a Topic for Discussion?

Abstract

We are in May 2022. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, without an objective and just reason, created a wave of solidarity in practically all western countries and raised questions in children and young people that parents, teachers and society in general have difficulty in answering. Is it admissible to maintain an armed conflict and sacrifice so many innocent people, natural and built heritage, at the expense of increasingly sophisticated war technology? Does technology serve to destroy or to create new knowledge and contribute to the good and progress of humanity? The day I finish this text marks 90 days of atrocities in the lands of Ukraine, a country in eastern Europe, so close to the one where I was born, live and work: Portugal.
