DRAWBACKS OF SCIENCE AND
TECHNOLOGY
1- Science Leads to Knowledge and Discovery

■ Science expands our understanding of life.

■ It looks and tries to provide answers to the mysteries of existence

■ Science looks for insight and objectivity. It takes what we think we


know and seeks to prove it.
2- Science Facilitates Progress and Development

The expansion of knowledge is tantamount to


progress.
■
3- Science Defies False Beliefs.

■ Only with the persistence, brilliance, and scientific approaches


of a few incredible minds did we move into modern medical
practices that save countless lives each year ...
■ science is about getting us closer to the truth.
■ The scientific endeavor helps us find answers to the deepest
problems and takes us further down the road to discovery.
4- Science Solves Problems

■ Solutions ex: vaccinations, smartphones, the light bulb, Telephone,

airplanes…

■ None of them would have been possible without testing,


experimentation, curiosity, and challenging assumptions.

■ Science is a champion of progress. And you don’t see progress without


problem-solving.
5- Science Informs Decision Making

■ If you’re lucky, you live in a society where major decision-


making is based on solid scientific evidence.
6-It will make our life easier

■ This helps our work can be done faster.

■ It helps us organize our daily activities


7- It helps us to communicate more easily
with others.

■ It helps to better know and understand other cultures and


societies
■ It is significant in business: transactions and other events are
done through the computer.
■ Science and technology enable every people to live in an easy
and modern way of life.
■
II- Drawbacks of science and technology
1-SCIENCE IS A WORLD OF
OBJECTIVITY;

■ Science prevents that person of science from attaining the


immense positivity that faith and religion can provide.

■ He believes when there is physical proof.


■
2- SCIENCE IS COLD, RATIONAL, AND
SUBVERSIVE
■ science is cold and clinical;
■ the environment of a the laboratory is whitewashed and sterile.
■ It’s the refusal to accept that life might have more to it than what meets the
eye.
■ As much as science has catapulted human progress, it can standstill your
personal experience of the world.
■ Everything needs to be proven to be believed; it removes the mystery from
the world, which can be a vital source of hope.
■
3- SCIENCE RESULTS IN HUGE MORAL
DILEMMAS
■ Scientific progress is stupefying and frightening.
■ We’ve reached levels of technological development that create
serious moral dilemmas. Think about manipulating DNA,
changing the physical features of unborn children, or
creating robots/computers that might, one day, think for
them.
■ Something about it feels out of control
■
4- SCIENCE THREATENS OUR
WELFARE
■ Science seems to put discovery above all else.

■ inhuman and unethical things are done in the name of science,


– experimenting on animals,
– destroying the natural world,
– creating nuclear weapons.

■ justification: necessary for scientific progress.


■
5- SCIENCE MAKES THE FUTURE FEEL
UNCERTAIN
■

■ One may think of hitting a pause. Do we really know what


we’re getting ourselves into?

■ Scientific advance makes the future seem uncertain;

■ the scale and speed of change is high. It feels hard to keep


up with sometimes.
