MAIN: Why is it important to study and understand the physical world?

Science and technology improve the quality of life in society. Being technologically
advanced also gives off an aura of enormous power. Society has mixed opinions towards
science because they don't understand it. People can better understand scientific concepts
when they are conveyed qualitatively, such as with words and illustrations.

How does science affect society?

The style of life in society was simple back then. However, there were numerous
obstacles in the way. The world evolves and science advances as time passes. As a result,
society will have to evolve to accommodate these changes. Because there is no means to go
back in time, scientific progress has forced civilization to advance.

What are the contributions of science to society?

Science and technology improve the quality of life in society. With the help of research,
experts are uncovering new solutions to global challenges such as food supply and the
greenhouse effect. Being technologically advanced also gives off an aura of enormous power.
As a result, the general public is faced with scientific issues. This difficulty can be seen in a
country possessing nuclear weapons. Science is being used in this case to endanger all human
life on the world.

What are the attitudes of society towards science and what accounts for these attitudes?
Society has mixed opinions towards science. People distrust science because they don't
understand it. Science is taught in schools in a dry and boring manner. As a result, students
struggle to grasp its value and memorize it just to pass tests. Science is typically associated with
equations since it is tied to mathematical principles. People can better understand scientific
concepts when they are conveyed qualitatively, such as with words and illustrations. Because
producers are primarily concerned with creating broad entertainment, science is portrayed as
magic in the media, such as television. However, some people are enthralled with science,
particularly astronomy.
