Science and technology studies

iPad Over the past few decades and until now “technology” plays an important role human’s lives. One of the definitions of technology given in Merriam-Webster Dictionary is “the use of science in industry, engineering, etc., to invent useful things or to solve problems”. Internet, electronic devices, computers, tablets are all related to technology which is appeared in every aspect of life. Relatively to technology, there have been many interesting studies done about iPads and the effects on…

scientific method is a process of methods that has portrayed natural science since the 17th century. In the book Essentials Of Physical Anthropology, by Clark Spencer Larsen, Larsen describes the scientific method as the foundation of science (Larsen 2016:14). In the following, I will explain the components/stages of the scientific method, as well as why it is never just a theory, and the difference between physical, and social science when applying the scientific method. The main component of…

American public education in the science classroom at the K-12 level is suffering criticism due to low student performance, which falls below the standards of global competitors. Such low student performance may be attributed the current lack of integrated real world technology into the science classroom. Therefore, in effort to improve the quality of science instruction and student performance, public education needs to implement additive manufacturing technology as a means to foster problem…

is an illustration on the relationship of technology to modern theories of social, cultural and economic change (Wajcman 350). Social studies of science and technology (STS) developed in the 1970’s and was a direct response to technological determinism, and a new way of understanding society and technology (349). STS believe that technological advancement is capable of being sociologically analysed and explained. Social scientists have seen that technology is shaped social circumstances not just…

has failed to produce individuals ready to enter into such a world and, more immediately, into such a workplace. To combat the lack of quality education in such areas as engineering and computer science, the United States has created many scientific programs. Through the introduction of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) program in primary and secondary education and the Research Education for Undergraduates (REU) in tertiary education, the United States has begun to raise the…

and creates a new life with his love Liberty. But living in a formidable society for most of his life, shows what The World Council has been hiding. The totalitarianism community changed their lives. It destroys the inventions of technology, and ignores the natural science Earth brings their society. Adolf Hitler once quoted, “The government is lucky that people never think.” The Jewish religion had been discriminated and murdered for a “benefit” of Germany. Hitler and his control delineates…

Aristotle’s Four Causes in Science Explanation is basic human nature. It began as a way to pass blame onto another person, then onto God or gods. This changed with the ideas of Archimedes of Syracuse. Archimedes was a mathematician, physicist, and inventor who was responsible for the discovery of buoyancy and the invention of both the siege engine and screw pump. After his discoveries, the popular view on explanation was modified. Instead of divine powers intervening in the world, people…

Science will always have a place in society no matter how far into the future we look. It is a key element of new knowledge, new discoveries, and new technologies. We live in a world that does not simply hand us all the answers. There is no ‘’cheat sheet’’ for the secrets of life. This lack of omniscience opens the door for numerous “what ifs”, “whys” and “hows” about the universe and our existence. Ergo, there will always be a need for science to help us to understand how things work.…

While Technology can foster more cheating in class and on assignments, Technology has limitless resources for improving education and making learning more amusing and operative. Because we live in digital world students can learn life skills through technology, and students have immediate access to information that can complement their learning experience. Although time has passed, technology has become the forerunner and society has become more reliable on technology. Technology helps to…

can be concluded that this time period was a real revolution due to the mental shifts it spread that allowed scientists to advance into the future, the new idea that collaboration leads to bigger discoveries, and the practical uses that allowed technologies to advance. In the 16th century a curious researcher by the name of Nicolaus Copernicus developed a new new model for the solar system which greatly differed from what the church believed at the time. Copernicus…
