    BEED – 4A Activity 1

    I. “If I have seen further than the others, it is by standing on the


    shoulders of giants.”

    1. What do you think Newton has seen?

    - I believe, Isaac Newton was able to see new discoveries and insights into ideas
    that can be applied to scientific progress.

    2. Who do you think Newton refers to as “giants”?

    - Other philosophers and scientists who paved the way for discovery are referred
    to as ‘giants’ by Isaac Newton. They inspired him and greatly influenced him to
    contribute to the field of science.

    3. What do you think this quote tells you about Newton’s character?

    - The quotes simply tell that Isaac Newton is very observant and distinct because
    he couldn't discover things or propose scientific evidences without the aid of
    other philosophers' ideas and aspirations. He was able to gain insight from those
    who knew more than him before he began to wonder about the world, we lived in.

    II. Questions/Answers

    • Is it better to know or not to know?

    - It is preferable better to know something than to know nothing. Knowing


    is the acquisition of knowledge, and our knowledge will assist us in
    understanding the way of life. Existence in the world without knowledge is
    meaningless, and we should strive to better understand the various
    aspects of life so that we will not become ignorant of our surroundings. It is
    also always better to know because the only way to better understand
    oneself is to know oneself. Moreover, if one is curious about something,
    the only way to satisfy this desire for understanding is to know.
    • Our identity is based on how we see the world.

    - Our identity and how we perceive life. It reflects our inner selves as well
    as our interactions with others. It is how we live as a result of how we
    perceive the world. We live to have different experiences, which is why we
    all see the world in different ways because we all have our own opinions
    based on our "experiences," which help us understand life and how to view
    different aspects of it.

    • Should scientist be allowed to do anything that they can?

    - The ultimate goal of a scientist is to both investigate natural laws and


    promote human progress. As a result, they are not free to do whatever
    they want. Scientists can do certain things, but they must be for the
    betterment of our world. It will also put us in danger if they will do whatever
    they want to experiment on.
