Science and technology studies

Any discussion on the relationship between science and sensory art is inevitably conditioned by the specific meanings and associations that each term has come to acquire. During earlier periods in which ‘science’ meant a systematic body of knowledge constructed on rational principles, and ‘art’ referred to an activity requiring the steady acquisition of skill, the fields of science and art were not automatically regarded as the polar opposites that they have tended to become in the modern…

Science is one of the few disciplines that continues to develop in our society, whether it is through technology or new discoveries. When considering my own relationship to the world of science, I often consider the past science classes I’ve taken. Thinking back to learning about the scientific method in elementary school to constructing science fair projects for six consecutive years had me realize how far I had come without really questioning science. The year I had made it past the first…

for science and mathematics fueled this movement, but the scientific discoveries that sprung forth were closely monitored by those in power, namely the Catholic Church. The direction of scientific exploration was also controlled by existing societal values, restricting science to a rich man’s study, only for those who were seen as capable of pursuing it. Because science and calculation was seen as a novel practice compared to the long standing method of using…

nuclear medicine, Frederick Proescher used the knowledge from his predecessors to advance the medical use of radioactive materials. Changing the way that science understood the evolving field of nuclear medicine, Proescher became one of the first scientists to use radium for medical purposes. The medical experiments with radium allowed science to change society as the element aided in treating illnesses. Testing the radium on individuals with arthritis, Proescher found that the subjects with the…

Within 50 years, from 1949 to the end of the 20th century, the People 's Republic of China has gone from a poor, isolated, under-developed, overpopulated country to one of the biggest economies and most powerful countries in the world.

the CDC, finds a tremendous amounts of new diseases every year. These discoveries are made possible by the new innovative technologies that defy all former expectations. Because of these technologies, scientists have successfully cloned a sheep named Dolly. The advancement of science and technology is very important for the human race. Through modern science and technology, the human race is advancing in more ways than one, including progressive projects, such as the Human Genome Project,…

Technology is a key part of American society in this day in age, but though it is extremely useful in helping with everyday tasks, such as communicating with others, there is a danger in overusing it. Young Americans have unfortunately become victims of addiction to technology. While this not only takes away from their learning experiences socially, it also harms them physically. Overusing technology can lead to Computer Vision Syndrome and nearsightedness because of the light emitted from the…
