Science and Humans

What responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?

As a race of humans, when it comes to the resposibilities of us understanding science I think we need to realize that out of any other species of creatures, we are the ones that can really understand why something is the way it is. Although not fully, we are able to atke steps to get to some type of conclusion after questioning why something is the way it is. I think that our knowledge of different things also helps animals live longer healthier lives because were able to care for them.

What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?

In our society, the role of scientific inquiry should be used to come up with a way where we can learn to wonder and develop technology that is useful to our current situation of depression rather than creating things we don't need and barely use. If we want to get to the top without later failing, we have to think about the most beneficial substance or thing that we can all count on as a society-not just individually.

How should science influence our decisions, laws, and culture?

Science should be used as a catalyst to spark our imaginations not as our main source to being able to come up with new ideas. In the making of our decisions, science should definitly be referenced but not the maker of our final decisions. I think that as a nation we put too much emphasis on science and the answers we can get from it. But we have to remember its not science that has the answers. Science didn't create itself, we came up with it so in that case we need to refer to "Our Brains" to make decisions, laws, and cultures. Its the collaboration of many people coming together to agree on the making of decisions that science lacks.
