    This document contains a student's metacognitive reading report for a class on Science, Technology and Society. The report summarizes the student's understanding of key concepts before and after reading an article by Lewis Wolpert on whether science is dangerous. Specifically, the student initially thought that 1) science and technology both have ethics, 2) science can make humans good or bad, and 3) science makes society dangerous; but learned that 1) science itself has no ethics but technology applications can, 2) science is not inherently dangerous if safely applied, and 3) governments, not scientists, typically drive development of powerful weapons. The report concludes with discussion questions on genetic modification, the shape of the Earth, and the

    ENSC 1013: Science, Technology and Society

    Metacognitive Reading Report No. 1


    Unit 1: Introduction to ST&S

    Name: PADILLA, THONE CARL Date Submitted: 02/15/2021


    Section: CE-1A

    Instruction: Read Lewis Wolpert’s (2005) ‘The Medawar Lecture 1998 Is Science
    Dangerous?’, then complete the metacognitive reading report format below.

    1. Difficult Concepts

    a. If Science and Technology are both have ethics

    b. If a human is good or bad because of science

    c. If Science makes the society dangerous and risky.

    2. Learning Insights

    a. Before reading the article, I thought that Science and Technology are the same and
    has an ethical issue.

    However, after reading the article, I now think/learned that Technology is just an
    application of science to certain things and that can have ethical issue. But scientific
    Knowledge itself has zero ethics.
    b. Before reading the article, I thought that Science is dangerous

    However, after reading the article, I now think/learned that Science is not dangerous
    It became dangerous if we do not know the way of using it or applying it on
    society and if have a proper safety pre-cautions.
    c. Before reading the article, I thought that If scientists are the one who wants to have
    powerful and dangerous bombs.

    However, after reading the article, I now think/learned that The one who wants it
    was the government, they ask for the scientists to build a powerful and harmful bomb
    so that their enemies would be afraid and it symbolize them as a powerful country
