  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.

  1. 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.

  1. 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.

  1. Considering the current state of our society, do you think science literacy among people has contributed to the growth of our economy?

Scientific literacy enables people to explore for opportunities to improve the world rather than accept it as it is. Science literacy improves people's intelligence. People can accomplish clever things when they get smarter. Develop a more sophisticated economy, construct smart cities, and mitigate climate change in a less dogmatic manner. It is simpler to make judgments when things are laid down in factual, statistical, and historical facts since there is no need to speculate and presume that certain supernatural force is to responsible.

  1. How can science influence government policies?

When a substantial majority of government authorities take science seriously, science can affect policy decisions. The government will then welcome scientists who are experts in all of the key fields to tell the government on what works and what doesn't when it comes to scientific data-driven policy.
