A Study On The Predicament And Transcending Of The Modern Olympic Movement In The Era Of Science And Technology

Science and Technology is the outcome of human civilization, and the symbol of human progress. Since the rising of the modern Olympic movement, it is closed related to science and technology. In the last century, with the help of science and technology, the modern Olympic movement creates several miracles. Now its influence had exceeded sports to be a segment of our life and one of the most influential culture activity modes.Science and technology has a rapid development in the era of science and technology, and are penetrating into nearly all fields of society. The modern Olympic movement, as a human-specific social and cultural activity is bound to bear the imprint of science and technology. In fact, the combination of Olympic and technology shows that, as the existing way of the modern Olympic Movement, science and technology are the driving force of modern Olympics development and the wings to Olympic movement, so its implementation not only brought about the revival of the Olympic movement, but also the rapid development of Olympics.With the progress of modern science and technology, the modern Olympic movement has become increasingly dependent on science and technology due to its high content of technology. Science and technology is a double-edged sword, it is of benefit to the development of the modern Olympic movement. Meanwhile, its negative effects have also gradually hindered the development of the modern Olympic movement and put it into the development predicament. The predicament development of the modern Olympic movement shows that the development of the aim of modern Olympic movement and its actual results present an opposite trend, which is resulting from the threat and hindrance of internal conditions and external environment in the era of science and technology, so the Olympics development predicament is actually a predicament in smooth water, namely, the quasi-development predicament.The characterization of Olympics development predicament finds expression in three dimensions, the natural crisis, the social crisis, as well as the human crisis. As to the nature, the modern Olympic movement roots in the nature, modified the nature, and should be in a harmonious status with nature, but the imbalance with the nature caused the natural environment pollution, as well as the waste and lay up of the natural resources. As to the society, as a microcosm and focus of society, the modern Olympic movement should be a bridge leading to a harmonious society, but the imbalances with the society brought about the excessive commercialization, politicalization, as well as the anomic of the fair play spirit. As to the human, the human development is the logic starting point and destination of the modern Olympic movement, so the imbalance between them came about not only human physical and psychological trauma, but the spiritual crisis.The cause of Olympic development predicament seemingly is composed of economic, political, cultural and many other factors, but the primary reason is science and technology. The separation of instrumental rationality and value rationality, the unilateral expansion of instrumental rationality, the never-ending scramble for the interests, and the internal logic of sports make the emergence of technological alienation to be a necessity. As a product of human practice, science and technology carries the value of people, so the problems brought about by science and technology are actually the problems of human, and the alienation of the modern Olympic Sports Technology behind reflects the alienation of man.The Olympic development predicament is inevitable but controllable. Based on the development thinking, transcending the predicament needs new concepts, new role, and new system. First of all, establishing a comprehensive view of science and technology, which means that science and technology are not omnipotent, and the association of Olympics and technology lies in their unified value of people-centered concept; then establishing the status of science and technology in the modern Olympic movement, and application should be according to three principles: supporting, appropriateness, and co-ordination. Third, enforcing the institutionelle garantie of Olympic technology development; strengthening the science and technology legislation and the ethics of science and technology; promoting the globalization of modern Olympic movement.
