Q:

Read the passage carefully and given the answer of the following questions.
We are tempted to assume that technological progress is the real progress and that material success is the criterion of civilisation. If the Eastern people become fascinated by machines and techniques and use them as Western nations do, to build industrial organisations and large military establishments, they will get involved in power politics and drift into the danger of death. Scientific and technological civilisation brings opportunities and great rewards but also great risks and temptations. If machines get into the saddle, all our progress will have been in vain. The problem facing us is a Universal one. Both East and West are threatened with the same danger and face the same destiny. Science and technology are neither good nor bad. They are not to be tabooed but tamed and assigned their proper place. They become dangers only if they become idols.
Apart from this, many other countries are busy with their scientific research on the constant gear.
They also involve in hazardous kind of activities. It is not only harmful for the global but also a package of disaster for the human race.
It should be curb altogether and develop the things to create a harmony around the global. 

Choose the word which is similar in meaning as the word 'tabooed' used in the passage.
