SOCIETY
WEEK 2
BASED ON YOUR UNDERSTANDING
HOW DO YOU LIVED A GOOD LIFE?
Living a good life starts by letting go of the
past. By releasing burdens and negative
experiences, we create space for growth and
happiness. Additionally, not taking things too
personally allows us to avoid unnecessary stress
and conflict. Instead, adopting a more objective
perspective helps in dealing with situations
calmly, understanding that other people's
actions are often a reflection of their own
issues. Ultimately, these habits allow us to
focus on the present moment and cultivate a
more positive and fulfilling life.
EXPLAIN THE ESSENCEOF OF
ETHICAL DECION MAKING?
When faced with a tough decision, ethics can
assist us in weighing the various options and
choose the one that is most likely to deliver the
greatest outcome for everyone involved. (It
focuses on fairness, honesty, integrity, and
respecting the rights and dignity of others.)

LESSON 1: INTRODUCTIONTO THE
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY &
SOCIETY
I. Answer the following comprehensive questions
to the best of your knowledge. You may elaborate
some key point as well.

Properly understood, any new and better way of

doing things is TECHNOLOGY. – P. Thiel
2014

SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND

SOCIETY

The study of how social, political, and cultural

values of mankind affect scientific research and
technological innovation and how these, in term,
affect society in the stated aspects.
GUIDE QUESTIONS:

1. How is Science, Technology and Society

related with one another?
RECITATION
Q. Properly understood, any new and better way
of doing things if TECHNOLOGY. – P. Thiel
2014
In this quote by Peter Thiel, he is saying that
any new and improved method of doing
something can be considered technology, as
long as it is understood and used correctly.
Science is the study of the natural world
through observation and experiments. It helps
us understand how things work and improve
our society. Technology, on the other hand, is
the application of scientific knowledge to
achieve specific goals. It is driven by the
demands of society and the advancements in
science. For example, the invention of
agriculture transformed our society by allowing
us to grow crops and raise livestock for food
instead of relying solely on hunting and
gathering. This technological innovation greatly
benefited society, making life easier. This, in
turn, propelled further advancements in science
and technology. The two are interconnected,
with science informing technology and
technology enabling further scientific progress.
This cycle has led to incredible achievements,
such as the invention of the internet, which has
revolutionized society and technology in
various fields.

2. Why do you think the society readily

accepts the benefits of science and
 technology even though negative results
come out from them?
Well, as humans, we rely heavily on science
and technology in our day – to – day lives for
various reasons. Science helps us understand
the world around us, and technology makes our
lives easier, more efficient, and more
comfortable. We readily accept their benefits
because they bring tremendous advancements
and improvements in many aspects of our
society.
