Activity 1: Journal No. 1

Direction: Answer the following questions in 1 paragraph (100-150 words)

______
1. How did society shape science and how did science shape society? 50
As we advance in science, society discovers more problems for science to find solutions to.
They shape each other as they continue through the cycle of creating problems and finding
solutions. Society helps determine how its resources are deployed to fund scientific work,
encouraging some sorts of research and discouraging others .Science is the best aggregate
undertaking. It adds to guaranteeing a more extended and better life, screens our wellbeing,
gives medication to fix our infections, and eases a throbbing painfulness. Society thus
shapes science, but science also shapes society. Science also shapes society, and reminders
of this help underscore that research can affect how people navigate their lives. This includes
influencing how individuals view, and elect to treat, mental health issues. The intended
consequences of science are often good, but unintended consequences also exist.

2. How do social and human issues influence science?

Aw we desire to go beyond our limitations, we knowingly and unknowingly influence science.

Social and human issues influence science in the sense that they may prompt scientific studies
aimed at solving them. Science can also become a social issue in itself especially when
different factions of society come into conflict over how and whether to use science to solve
societal problems. Human circumstances supply the drive for scientific research. Desires,
anxieties, shortages and the like sparks off investigation and thorough inquiry in attempts to
unravel human issues. In any case, our social interaction and the issues we confront can also
color interpretation of the results of scientific inquiry. Society helps determine how its
resources are deployed to fund scientific work, encouraging some sorts of research and
discouraging others. Similarly, scientists are directly influenced by the interests and needs
of society and often direct their research towards topics that will serve society. And at the most
basic level, society shapes scientists’ expectations, values, beliefs, and goals .

3. How did the political and cultural landscapes of the society affect the development of scientific
culture, science activities and science literacy?

The political and cultural landscapes greatly affect the development of scientific culture,
activities, and literacy. the fact that the core of science is a process to make a hypothesis, test
the hypothesis, gather evidence, compare results and then do it all again. The scientific
method is all about learning about the world around us and how things happen. To pay
 attention to the prevalence of tradition in culture and politics. Specifically, whether tied to a
religion or not, most cultures despise questioning in favor of obedience. Scientific culture is
shaped by the cultural and political environment of any given country or region, because the
local cultural values influence politics, and both politics and culture values influence scientists’
behaviour and performance. Whenever a scientific study is published, my first question is:
where do the authors come from? Their choice of topic and even their findings will be highly
influenced by their cultural background.

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

YES!!

5. How can science help in the pandemic we have right now?

Science can greatly help in solving this pandemic. With science we can develop more vaccine
that would directly help in fighting the said virus. Also, with science we can create more
machines and equipment that can help people adapt to the new normal or even going back to
what we used to do. With the help of science, we can modernized our front liner and create
more effective and efficient PPE.

The Strategies, Ideas and Recommendations Here Come Primarily From: Gross Davis, B.
The writer is beginning to
define the topic, even though
development is still basic or
general.
The organizational structure is
strong enough to move the
reader through the text
without too much confusion.
The writer seems sincere but
not fully engaged or involved.
The result is pleasant or even
personable, but not
compelling.
The language is functional,
even if it lacks much energy. It
is easy to figure out the
writer's meaning on a general
level.
The text hums along with a
steady beat, but tends to be
more pleasant or businesslike
than musical, more
mechanical than fluid.
The writer shows reasonable
control over a limited range of
standard writing conventions.
Conventions are sometimes
handled well and enhance
readability; at other times,
errors are distracting and
impair readability.
The writer's message is
understandable in this format.
1
As yet, the paper has no clear
sense of purpose or central
theme. To extract meaning
from the text, the reader must
make inferences based on
sketchy or missing details.
The writing lacks a clear sense
of direction. Ideas, details, or
events seem strung together in
a loose or random fashion;
there is no identifiable internal
structure.
The writer seems indifferent,
uninvolved, or distanced from
the topic and/or the audience.
The writer struggles with a
limited vocabulary, searching
for words to convey meaning.
The reader has to practice
quite a bit in order to give this
paper a fair interpretive
reading.
Errors in spelling, punctuation,
capitalization, usage, and
grammar and/or paragraphing
repeatedly distract the reader
and make the text difficult to
read.
The reader receives a garbled
message due to problems
relating to the presentation of
the text.
