Is science dangerous
I strongly believe that science, and all of it components
are good. Science by definition is the search of new knowledge, how can this be
bad? Everything has the potential of being good or bad. It all depends on the
people who are behind it. Nurses deliver anti-biotics, which can cure a number
of diseases. On the other hand those abusing drugs, such as heroin users, use
needles. No one is arguing saying that needles are evil, because it's an inanimate,
the same rule should apply with science. Some people say without science life
would be better or simpler, but in reality science is the reason people are
able to watch television, the reason people are living much longer and
healthier life's.
A popular opposing argument is without
science there would be no war, or bombs or mass destruction. Before these
technological advances people still had wars, they just through rocks, and
spears. It's not the technology that's causes the war anyway; it's our own
human characteristics, like greed, vanity, and jealousy. If we combat these
human flaws, then we will rid the world of people's fears of technology.
Science
is involved in every profession, lawyers, detectives, and firefighters depend
on facts, to solve certain crimes or to prove that a pacific incident has
occurred. We see them use science more often in crimes of murder, arson, and
rapes; forensics, is what is used solve these almost unbreakable crimes. Weight
Lifters, athletes, and trainers all use science, they all know the principle of
overloading muscles, and they understand isometrics, a way to exercise. Without
science a lot of people would pull muscles, strain them or dislocate a joint.
Science
is needed in every day life, from cooking to playing a CD. It is not science
that created all of the destruction, and horrible pain it is the people who
controlling the machines who cause the harm.
Sometimes Science Aesthetically wrong at times: Forget the readings and
writings of any religious
texts and books. Focus on the alteration made possible by science that tend to
haunt the mankind in future. Altering the genetic combination tends to disrupt
the balance of the nature, and messes with the ecosystem as well. Genetic
alterations on animals have proven to give dubious results and have faced a lot
of criticism and backlash.Science is Used in strengthening war chances: Gone are the days when people used to stamp their authorities through duels and wars were won with horses, elephants, swords, and other man-made weapons. Times have flown by and the nuclear trump card in every countries arsenal has bolstered the chance of destructing the Earth, and killing many in process.
Science provide Stressful information: The deeper you delve into science; more likely you are going to come up with unrequired or harmful information’s. You might end up discovering some lethal elements buried deep down. Overloaded with information has compelled us to make headways into calamitic consequences.
Science says about Overpopulation: One of the most ironical aspects of science. Science tells you the reason why the Earth is being overpopulated and the measures that should be taken to deal with it. On the other hand, science has enabled us to live longer than average expectancy, decreasing the mortality rate immensely. It might be easy to say that one should not opt for such life expectant drugs and operations, but weighing the emotional side of things it becomes difficult to stick to a rational decision.
Science make People connecting through social media, but drifting away in person: Technology enables us to talk to strangers staying miles away from us, but we don’t bother to communicate in person when we have the chance to. Artificial Intelligence has ignited the virtual method of communication, and that seems to become the norm in years to come.
Science might be a technical and rational component of this Universe, but the sword of morality has been hanging over the head of every person on this planet. One should greet the progression of science with open arms, but needs to check the rapid growth that might do more harm than good eventually.
Science is Convenience: It is amazing as how times have
changed. It took us eternity to develop a non-human mode of transportation, but
the recent couple of centuries saw us traveling over the mountains and beyond
the waters. You can travel back and forth covering the deepest and darkest
corners there are to explore. We can communicate to our dear ones sitting at
one end of the World to the other. With the introduction of Artificial
Intelligence, one does not even need to talk, but simulate a healthy
conversation or run a chore.
Science make Dramatic increase of lifespan: Remember reading
the horrific plague that almost nullified Europe as much as to the extent of
rejuvenating it through the period of Renaissance? Fast forward to the 21st century
and you will see people being spoilt for choice, to live, if yes, how many
years would they prefer to. It baffles to see such transformation and
enhancement in the field of medical science and technology. With the cure to
every known disease, or at least the development of new drugs has brightened
the survival rate exponentially. Stillborn and other infant fatalities have
gone down significantly, and the third World countries are getting back on
their feet as well.
Science creates New technologies and better understanding of
where we live in: Technology and Science go hand in hand, and there is no doubt
that we have been engulfed in the technological world. Technology has been
seeped in with such precision and deftness that we don’t really appreciate it
that much. Science has also let us know about our Universe, and there is so
much more to the 75% Water-25% Land concept. There are many wonders yet to be
discovered, and with science one-day humans will acquire the knowledge of
infinity with the help of science
It is true that with the rapid development of technology,
people have unlimited access to various information and exchange database
freely these days. Despite all benefits, some people believe that it is harmful
and dangerous for our communities. To a certain point I would agree that it
could be dangerous, but if we have proper control over technological use then
it would be useful from many aspects.
On one hand, the advance development of modern technology
has allowed people to gain access to so many websites, database, and
information hub and to exchange them. All governments and companies are using
computer technology to store and maintain their confidential information these
days. Certain people believe that the development is dangerous for our
societies as it could be misused for any crime activities. For example, a
computer hacker might have access to a bank information system and use a
person's credit card number. In another case, the hacker might steal top secret
information from the government and sell them to the terrorists.
Despite all the treats, the easy access to information
system has brought countless benefits to the humankind. Firstly, with the
development of the internet technology, scientists could effectively perform
their research. By having access to so many websites, it has saved a lot of the
scientists’ time when they have to investigate things, rather than to go to the
library and search for books and journals. Secondly, with the easy access to
information system, it also helps students in learning new things. In the past,
students only got information through books, but these days they can learn from
various platforms. For example, when they want to learn new things, they can
also learn from another format such as video. There are thousands of free video
websites such as YouTube and Vimeo, where they can access them and find some
informative lessons. Having central databases of citizens is a great way for
the government to tackle illegal immigration, crime and social problems.
In conclusion, to a certain extent, I would agree that the
easy access to various information and exchange of database could be harmful to
the humankind. However, I also believe that this development also brings a lot
of benefits to the societies, as scientists have become more effective in doing
their researches. I personally believe that the government should have a strict
regulation about the access and design a proper control system which would
prevent the misuse of the information.
