People might say that famous people are writers. Well, go ahead. But have you ever thought of that people who study science, like those professionals e.g. doctors, orthodontists, physicians, etc. are the ones who can keep the writers healthy and well so they can create more wonderful literature. Without the ones that know science, the writers might not live and we could not read literature. Because of what I've just mentioned, to avoid having vicious cycles, we should value Science more.
Literature can be very interesting, but can it save lives? Well, I suppose it can, but only a few lives... Science can look into medicine and save the lives of cancer patients and people suffering from AIDS, among other diseases. Can literature do that?
"Ever advancing technology and the changes it's bringing"
Yes. There is advancing technology, but what does it bring?
Well, here's a short list for you:
1) In the last 200 years we have damaged the world more than we had the 2000 years before that.
There are all sorts of terrible things that we have recently done to our society via technology, and destroying the entire planet, which has lead to extinct species, through pollution is something that does not convince me that everything good that occurs outweighs the bad.
2) The nuclear bomb.
The invention of the nuclear bomb has taken thousands upon thousands of lives and still has the potential to now. What is good about the invention of the bomb? Well, nothing. Nuclear power was discovered through a similar process, however there are also huge malefactors to that, too. Released radiation can be a huge problem for the people who live locally to the spill of it.
3) The thalidomide drug.
Of course there have been some more bad inventions on the side of war, but there have also been some bad medical inventions, such as the thalidomide drug. This drug, provided to release pain for mothers giving birth had a large negative effect on the babies they gave birth to.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
