1. How did the society shape science and how did science shape the society?
Society got together in numerous ways to assist establish science by investigating a
need that had not yet been identified. Science aided others in visualizing what is possible,
allowing those who were unaware of the outcomes to develop more for unmet needs. The
yearning of society to comprehend the universe through the application of reason developed
science. Meanwhile, science has shaped society by subordinating knowledge of the world to
that which can be identified and measured while disregarding or refusing to accept
the knowledge of the world revealed by God. As a result, society has become less religious
and God-fearing, to the detriment of human values, particularly those concerning human life
and the relevance of the family system as the basics of good living.
2. How do social and human issues influence science?
In the sense that social and human challenges may stimulate scientific investigations
aiming at addressing them, they have an impact on science. Society has a hand in deciding
how its resources are distributed to finance scientific study, favoring some and inhibiting
others. Similarly, scientists are impacted directly by societal interests and needs, and
frequently aim their research toward areas that will benefit society.
3. How do the political and cultural landscapes of the society affect the development of
scientific cultures, science activities and science literacy?
The evolution of scientific culture, activities, and literacy is heavily influenced by the
political and cultural landscapes.
The first thing to realize is that science is essentially a process of formulating a
hypothesis, testing it, gathering data, comparing outcomes, and then repeating the process.
Understanding about the world around us and how situations come is at the heart of the
scientific process. The importance of tradition in culture and politics is the next point to
consider. Specifically, most societies, whether religious or not, reject independent
investigation in favor of adherence. In conclusion, it is impossible to do science without
posing questions.
Religion and science are as polar opposites as oil and water. This is due to the fact
that religion is based on faith, whereas science is based on facts. Faith is believing in the
unseen truth or conviction in the absence of proof. It cannot be examined or tested if it is not
visible. Any position or belief can be held on faith alone, with no further reason. As a result,
any demand for evidence is dismissed as frivolous, if not outright hazardous to one's core
convictions.
4. Considering the current state of our society, do you think science literacy among people
has contributed to the growth of our economy?
