2. In your own little way how will you solve issues and dilemmas in science and
Technology?
- If I could, I would choose to solve the issue of global warming. Our Earth has seen several cycles of warming and cooling over its long history.
We know the climate has changed when the Earth received more or less sunlight because of shifts in its orbit, as the surface or atmosphere
changed, or when the Sun’s energy varied. However, throughout the past century, another force has started to influence Earth’s climate:
humanity. The effects of global warming go far beyond just simple rising temperatures. Global warming modifies rainfall patterns, melts ice caps
and glaciers, lengthens the growing season in some regions, amplifies coastal erosion, and alters the ranges of some infectious diseases. Some of
these changes are already taking place. I would use Science to improve Technology and lessen global warming.
3. Why is it important to know the moral and ethical issues in science and technology?
- The importance of knowing the moral and ethical issues in Science and Technology is that we can use it accordingly and most importantly, use
it correctly in the best way possible for humans and our environment's best interest. Where there would be no inequality of power and
knowledge between countries, and there would be no harm to humans and the environment. Though, Science and Technology have solved a lot
of problems and have overall worked in the favor of humanity. Still, there are a few negatives that can be solved by knowing a moral and ethical
way to use it.
