The Importance Of Medical Technology

Register to read the introduction… Local folk wisdom, like the use of herbal remedies to cure small diseases, is still regarded useful these days. But the false myth like the lunar eclipse, comets or black cat brings bad luck should not be considered eligible to believe. (In addition, a lunar eclipse is a rare phenomenon worth admiring, not to be afraid of.) On the contrary, scientific outbreak since the era of scientific revolution has brought us the better world. Take Louis Pasteur for example. Before his discoveries, people believed that the cause of disease was the bad luck or the punishment of the divines. He showed, and corrected the understanding of people, that airborne microbes, which can produce decomposition, were actually the cause of disease. Fortunately that these microbes could be killed by the heating of the liquid they were in. Thus the cleanness of container and beverage should be considered. His discoveries of vaccination, microbial fermentation and pasteurization – a modern medical system of curing patients – are legendary. Pasteur’s findings also helped established a new branch of science—microbiology. A large number of patients suffering from germs in their wounds, like rabies and tetanus, have been saved because of his discoveries. Aside from the medical view, dairy product could be made cleaner and safer to consume with the process of pasteurization. It …show more content…
My grandparents told me that in the old days, students were not allowed to ask teacher when in doubt, or even start a discussion in class. The only thing students were responsible for was to follow the teacher. The method was different too. It required a lot of memorization and very little analyzation. Tests were about what you know, not what or how you think. This education system made a good follower, but not a good leader, since the student was not allowed to be completely on his or her own. These days things are different. We are able to ask our teacher and we are allowed to join an open discussion in class. We are allowed to express ourselves as long as our thoughts harm nobody. It is not regarded as a miserable and shameful thing to do anymore. A number of our tests ask us how we think, based on what we know (with little of what we have memorized), which stimulates our creativity and confidence. Besides, technologies like computers and internet are engaged in class to help us learn better. We understand mathematics better with a mathematical program on a computer, showing real-time graph plotting. We conduct experiments in our laboratory and see the chemical process with our own eyes. We might not memorize things better than our grandparents, but we are smarter than them when it comes to creativity and
