Science has become an integral part of human life in the 21st century. Today it is impossible to live without science. Since every part of human life is connected with science, it is very difficult to decide whether science is a curse or boon for man. Therefore, it is important to first know the correct definition of science. We see many definitions of science.
According to the Webster Dictionary, "Science is knowledge gained from study and practice. The second definition of science is "the study of the natural world and its processes in-depth". Science is the study of things and events around us. So how can we determine whether it is a curse or a boon for man? Now, just as each coin has two sides, there are advantages and disadvantages of science. Science is a major part in human development.
Science is the gift of what we see around us today. Science has made home TV, the bus we travel with has become possible. Today, we can sit in our house using mobile phones and computers and talk to anyone in the world and know about everything, events and places in the world. Science has helped cure many of the world's deadliest diseases. Science allows us to travel thousands of miles easily. Science has brought man to the moon today. Humans processed food and invented new inventions that prevented starvation. The invention of new seeds increased agricultural income. All this was impossible without science.
Just as Science shows man various types of development, in the same way it gives man the power to create disaster. Science helped man to invent deadly nuclear weapons such as atomic bombs, which have the power to destroy the human species. The Internet, which was invented to make life easier for humans, is being used incorrectly today. As science progressed, industrialization increased and the environment began to decline.
As science progressed, man's hunger increased. He cut down trees and built houses which in turn destroyed the environment. Pollution has increased due to Industrialization. Then how can we say that science benefit us? Science whether a curse or blessing depends a little on everyone's perspective. To summarise, if Science is used in the right way it will be a blessing.
