1.There are various programs and projects offered in the Philippines to support said visions.The DOST has an Undergraduate
Scholarship for tertiary education learners who want to pursue the science and engineering field of studies, they also have
Graduate Scholarship for those who want to pursue Masters's and Doctors Degree.The Philippines Science Education also
conducting Division, Regional and National Competition related to Science, Technology, and Mathematics and also compete for
their participant's international competitions.
2.Private and Public school has a Science Programs, It's just that it is not more prioritized in public school. Examples of these
Science programs are the Science fair, where various objects, masterpieces and whatnot can be laid out with regards to Science.
Another similar Program is the existence of Science laboratories but this is not often done or seen in public schools but it is
continuously cultivated by the government to better organize and expand the knowledge of the students.
3.Expansions in science and technology have marked the onset of the Third Millennium. If harnessed rationally and effectively,
these could help eradicate hunger, poverty, destitution and indignity. The progress in the fields of biotechnology, information and
communication technology, medicine, space science and management science offers unprecedented opportunity for multifaceted
development. The industrialized countries and a few developing countries (in some of the areas) are vigorously capturing these
uncommon opportunities by innovating, adapting and regulating these technologies. But the majority of the developing countries
are far behind and are further falling behind, thus widening the technology divide. Although somewhat flawed as it generally ignores
the vast contributions of public sectors, which are mostly not under IPR, the index shows that Finland with a TAI of 0.744 was first,
closely followed by the USA with a TAI of 0.733. Japan was fourth. Table 30 gives TAI of countries of the Asia-Pacific region (for
which data were available). It may be seen from the table that of the 15 countries (including Hong Kong and Singapore), five were
listed as "Leaders", two as "Potential Leaders", six as "Dynamic Adopters" and two as "Marginalized". A good number of the
countries are in the "Marginalized" category. In order to bridge the technology gap, effective policies and programmes are needed
in the countries with lower TAI.

1.In particular, when it comes to understanding ecological relationships and natural resource management, indigenous knowledge
has played a huge role in providing cumulative wisdom passed on from generation to generation. This kind of knowledge is
specifically called Traditional Ecological Knowledge, according to the article, “How Indigenous Knowledge Advances Modern
Science and Technology”, and it has helped provide new perspectives on climate change, specific animal population declines, and
sustainable harvesting practices. This also relates to the video that we had watched in class about indigenous knowledge on musk
ox populations. The article also mentions the push for preserving indigenous knowledge by encouraging indigenous science
scholar recruitment and collaborating with indigenous people in assessing different environmental issues and beyond.
However, there is controversy surrounding this role that indigenous knowledge can have. For example, some argue that it is hard to
define what exactly this knowledge is and when it is considered indigenous. If it is evolving to reflect current experiences, is it still
considered indigenous or modern knowledge? Another critique is that is hard to distinguish who exactly “has” indigenous
knowledge. Is it only considered to be a part of specific ethnic groups? This criticism persuades some people into separating
science from indigenous knowledge.
2. society and culture affect science because society and culture is a large psrt of man who depends on science, and all issues
regarding science and culture that man experiences depend on science which provides the products that can be made. of
science.Science influences society through its knowledge and world view. Scientific knowledge and the procedures used by
scientists influence the way many individuals in society think about themselves, others, and the environment. The effect of science
on society is neither entirely beneficial nor entirely detrimental.
Chapter 7
1.without the technology of today, it is likely that our lifestyle will not ascend, without the technology, it is likely that our lifestyle will
not be facilitated with the help of sciences that have been done to better and organize and facilitate human life.
2. I do not agree on Martin Heidegger’s idea that technology should only be seen as one of the approaches in perceiving the truth.
Technology will never disclose or perceive any truth, may it be for moral truth, justice, honesty, moderation, courage nor ethics.
