II. ASSIGNMENT #1

1. Why do you think the society readily accepts the benefits of science and technology even though
negative results also come out from them?

The human species is programmed to instinctively seek to learn more and while some individuals might
overcome this instinctive programming, the human race in general cannot. That means humans will
continue to increase their knowledge of science and technology unless “ALL HUMANS ARE DEAD”. This
instinctive is what has forced humanity into the Technological Singularity we are inside of right now and
why humanity cannot get out of that Singularity except through Extinction or by passing through it to
evolve into an Advanced Technological Race of Pure Minds.

2. How is science and technology affecting the growth of a nation?

Science and technology, improves the productivity of workers, leading to higher profits for businesses,
and higher GDP for the country. Communication and transportation technology enable globalization,
leading to higher trade. Higher trade leads to greater freedom of choice for consumers, and lower costs
for products and services for consumers.

Globalization also leads to lower costs, and bigger markets for businesses, improving profitability, and
increasing sales revenue. Science and technology also leads to higher wages for high skilled workers.

3. As a student of STS, how can you be guardians of the society? Cites concrete examples.

Do community service work. What you send our in service supports the good for all. There are food
banks, museums, senior centers, nursing homes, libraries, and more all need help. In helping someone
or organizations from your heart, what is around you, changes.
