Closest English Translation

I've got an oral assignment to do for class today, over one of five random topics selected from a hat, and I'd like to be sure I've got the sentiment of the questions translated correctly in my head.

1-Lo positivo o negativo de la tecnología contemporánea The good and bad aspects of modern technology.

2-La educación de los niños y los valores humanos The education of children about human values. (This one I'm not too sure about what it means. Maybe about human rights? How to treat other human beings?)

3-El egoísmo Vanity, self-aggrandizement, self-centeredness etc.

4-La visión de la cultura occidental sobre las otras culturas How western culture sees other cultures. (Not sure on this one)

5-La vida de los inmigrantes en general. Immigrant life in general.

They all sound good to me, not overly litteral. The idea of "values" is a little vague, but I would imagine include human rights, ethics, religious concepts, etc.

The concept on number 4 I believe is to examine how western cultures evaluate other peoples, so your translation is good for that.

Good luck!
