As the given topic is science is boon or bane. I can say it depend upon people in what way they use the science. The invention of equation e=mc^2 paves way for the destruction of two countries. Lots and lots of million of poeple destroyed in this. But this plays much in solving energy crisis. Nowadays automobiles, vehicles makes our life comfortable in moving but at the same time, pollution destroys the ozone and creates major problem. By considering this we say, to solve this kinds of problem alsoa new scientific advancement paves a new way. | .

We can take many example like in olden days if we wanted to travel or when we had to visit any place or any message we had to conve it was taking a day, a month, sometime a year also but now a days due to science it is possible only in second or maximum in a day. If you take in the field of medical science, in olden days anybody was suffering with any disease either they could recover with Ayurveda treatment or depends on a god blessing but now a days for every disease a special instruments, equipment is present to handle the disease like ECG,… We are in the age of science and technology.

Man cannot live without the aid of science. Science has so much engulfed our lives that nothing can take place in our day to day work without the help of science. Our food, transport, learning, administration, recreation and social life are all linked with science in various ways. To answer the question whether science has come to mankind as a boon or as a use for ruin (bane), one should know what science exactly means. Science is said to be a systematic classification of experiences. We, men wonder at the various things and events happening around us. We get doubts; what are they?

These questions are the basic seeds for science. Then starts the thinking, reasoning, analysis, synthesis, comparison and contrast and finally the truth emerges. Scientists say there is a scientific method for everything and there are inevitable steps to be followed: (1) Observation (2) Hypothesis (3) Experiment (4) Theory and (5) Proof. All scientists have, in a way, followed these steps. The aim of science is search for truth, and to know things, hitherto unknown. A scientist does not accept ideas, simply because, they were accepted by others earlier.

Great discoveries are a result of reasoning. A lot of patience and observation are required. Civilization, as it is today, is the result of a number of discoveries made in the field of science. The invention of them simple wheel has resulted in our modern industrialization. Electricity, as a source of energy, has revolutionized the world. Medical science is so much advanced that the average life of an Indian has risen to 62 years from 35 years. Science has contributed to the success of our green revolution and now we have enough food for all.

We have enough clothing and better shelter too. All this is possible, because of science. Radios, T. C s and cinemas which entertain us are the products of science. So a common man has to conclude that science is a boon to mankind. There is the other side of the coin also. T. L. Peacock says; “I almost think that it is the ultimate destiny of science to exterminate the human race”. That is the other point of view. It is science, which gave birth to destructive weapons like dynamite, guns, rifles, rockets, atom bombs, hydrogen bombs etc. t is science that gave electrical power and nuclear power. If nuclear power is used for peaceful purposes, there is no need for fear. But after all it is human to err. Can anyone say that there is no chance of the destruction of a Hiroshima or a Nagasaki being repeated? If that happens, will not science be a bane of humanity? Leaving that apart, another creation of science is pollution of the environment. Industrialization with the aid of science has polluted air, water, food and the atmosphere. The ozone layer is giving threatening signals.

So here is a case for man to consider science as a cause of ruin. Man is a rational being. He can safeguard himself against all odds. That is how he was able to conquer and control all other creatures in the world. So let us believe that his wisdom will prevail and he would reason out for the well being of his kind on this planet. When the universe reveals more secrets to man by means of science, there is hope that the present man will become a superman and eventually science would be only a boon and not a bane of his life. Science without conscience is death of the soul.

Artificial Environment Boise State University Has Technology morally put the environment and nature on the back burner? Are we living lifestyles that are constantly putting our health at risk? Due to technology our economic status is on the verge of collapsing? Is there a race by Americans to see who could use the resources of the earth faster? These questions and a lot other arise when discussing the problems with our environment. Through my research paper on an artificial environment I hope to cover those problems that come about hen arguing the facts about technology. What can we do to prevent the changes we are making in our environment from destroying the physical basis My paper consist of facts which tell us that we are and still will remain an invention of our own environment. Our perception of the world is increasingly shaped by the artificial environment we inhabit. (Mander, 206) Man has made practically everything around us. The natural way of doing things have disappeared. Man’s environment has changed so rapidly in recent years that all man can do is absorb and recycle.

In the book I’m researching called Where Does Humanity Go From Here the author discusses how masculinity or the macho controls our society. …. we will continue to seek to dominate nature rather than cooperate with it, we will in time destroy ourselves in the process. (Melissinos, 375) Once we take care of the obvious then we can make progress in having a better human society. Why are simple things people live for in our society not as sufficient in other countries. In more poverty stricken cultures hot showers are major luxuries as well as televisions, radios, and newspapers. We live too much for stuff.

Our lifestyles are made up of so many material things that we as a group are setting are self up for failure. Our individuality and selfishness are becoming a burden. As documented in Where Does Humanity Go From Here, it is time for America to give up their radical individualism, because it has done much o fuel the current environmental crisis, the dehumanization of work, and the increasing social instability. (Melissinos, 377) Man’s intention in creating new artifacts and modifying his environment was to be relieved from oppressive conditions and to enlarge his capabilities and increase his possibilities. Conquests of Nature, 59) The urge to alter the conditions of life and to improve them in directions of his own choosing is clearly a basic instinct. We’ve developed the comforts of life by our own inventions. (Conquest of Nature, 58) These comforts of life we all need in order to achieve self-gratification. Something that the majority of Americans live for. Things that I believe are considered luxuries is self-gratification which American indulge themselves with. Today’s booming technology and nature is taking too much away from nature.

For example is there really a night or day. When we encounter darkness a fear arrives. Imagine us without electricity at nighttime, it would be horrific. We evolve around electricity. Were like a child whose always left the light on. (Mander, 208) As a society it is stated that we live in a subconscious sense, with an abundance of security, greed, generosity, and insensitivity. (Meadows, 377) The way I see it is that were losing the battle right now, but still have a chance to win the war. The world requires a spiritual outlook on life revolution.

Almost everyone throughout the civilized world pays lip service to the environment today, but not all are realizing the extent of change in attitude and behavior necessary to save the planet. (Melissinos, 377) Basically there is a strong need for change in societies values. In conclusion we have no further choice but to rethink our human intuition and existence in nature. If we don’t realize nature is us and our kinship, then our technological power will soon destroy nature. Not only will nature be decimated but anything and everything around it, including us.
