    Science, Technology and Society

    Quiz No. 4

    1. According to your own personal belief how can someone achieve "human flourishing" and what should someone
    should do once they already achieved human flourishing.

    Human flourishing must be achieved through a person's own efforts. Each person has reason and free will and the
    capacity to initiate conduct that will enhance or inhibit his flourishing. Rationality, the cardinal virtue for human
    flourishing, can only gain expression when a person has responsibility for his own choices.

    2. What role does science and technology play in human flourishing

    Answer:

    The Human Flourishing is deeply intertwined with goal setting relevant to science and technology. Every discovery,
    innovation and contribute to our pool of human knowledge. One of the most prevalent themes is human’s perpetual
    need to locate himself in the world by finding proofs to trace evolution. Technology can change us, the world around
    us. It eases our labor, cure diseases, provides abundant food and clean water, enables communication and travel
    across the globe, and expands our knowledge of the natural world and the cosmos.

    3. Compare and contrast the verification theory and the falsification theory. How important these theories in the field of
    science

    Answer:

    Falsification Theory is to be understood as the refusation of statements. It asserts that as long as an ideology is not
    proven to be false and can best explain a phenomenon over alternative theories, we should accept the said ideology.
    and in contrast, verification refers to statements that are shown to be true. This theory gives a premium, to impricism
    and only takes to the account those results which are measurable and experiments wich are repeatable. The goal of
    science iis to create knowledge by identifying true statements as true (verified) and false, statement as false (falsified).

    4. Is our reverence of science justified? Explain.

    Answer:

    Reverence, as I understand it, can only be honored to person or being. In as much as we honor an artist on may
    reverence the Creator. No matter how far we develop our in our lives in the understanding of the methods and
    mechanisms that are found in and he discoveries of science there will be forever be what is beyond our ability to
    comprehend. Because of this even scientist must chose to have faith in unproven theories and hypothethis. Some
    Scienctist reject the notion of faith. But to function successfully it is essential. Beyond what humanity can or will ever
    know is that he realm of faith and we are all subjected. That is why there are more people of real faith in science than
    there are any other profession including the clergy

    5. Human have always been in constant search for development and many global projects and campaigns goal is for
    further development in the way they live their lives, the economy and for our society as a whole and growth is the
    indicator of development, while technology is the instrument humans uses to achieve this goal this but in return we are
    subjecting our environment into irreversible damage due to the harvesting resources in a rapid pace that nature cannot
    recuperate. Is it possible to achieve pour goals without inflicting severe problems in the environment. Explain.

    Answer:
    I believe, we can still achieve our goals without inflicting severe problems as long as we are not abusing all the resources that
    we have. It is said that the technology has been a primary instrument in enabling them to pursue the goal, utilizing resources,
    machineries and labor. The world’s resources can only provide so much, but it cannot be expected to stretch out for everybody’
    consumption over the ling period of time. It it continues in the alarming rate, we might bring about our own existence.
