context of the past, it is acceptable to view them as outdated, and irrelevant in today’s societal context, and hence useless. Religion and ritual have been of significant cultural importance throughout the history of mankind. However, in today’s science and technology driven society, such ‘traditions’ may be viewed as anti-modern and outdated by many. In a cultural perspective, religion and ritual stands as a firm pillar, which had been established by our ancestors and their wisdom, beliefs and…

Michael Postman is making a case against social science, he rejects the idea that social scientists do science. Science is often attributed as natural or physical science. As its name implies, this science is concerned with the study of nature – the physical and natural behaviors and phenomena without the social, cultural, or the human context or aspect. Physical and natural science works in a closed system where variables can be controlled, and the work is executed within a particular…

What does science mean to you? To me, science is everything. Not only is it the normal biology or psychology, it is everything that surrounds us, or is in us, even the things we ourselves do not know about. The Webster definition is “a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws” which for me that definition encompasses everything we know and learn every day. You can look around and find things that are there; a pencil, a wall, a tree. You can find things that you don’t even…

DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING Science and Engineering can be a regarded as an inseparable concept to which modern engineering depends. Engineering was first practiced from man’s mental capacity that fashioned him into recognizing tools and natural resources around him and developing on that for his own benefit. Take for example “the prehistoric man” where discoveries were made of tools used, knowledge of fire depicted by drawings in caves, all without the understanding of science and its role in…

In elementary school, my science club built a 5-foot-long DNA double helix model. My excitement for genetics and collaboration never ceased. At Columbia, I hope to "build" a strong academic base in biology. Whether I go into pharmacy or pharmacology, biology will be an integral part of my studies. Observing a man who was shot five times and another who had severe brain trauma from a motorcycle accident affected me. I encountered these patients while on rounds at the LSU Intensive Care Unit. I…

I have always felt drawn to the sciences. While I have many different interests including anatomy, physiology, and engineering, when looking at them as a whole, they can all be used to help others and give back to those in need. This aspect is a trait that makes up an important part of my personality and guides many of my ambitions in life. This is why social neuroscience is a topic that has shaped my interests. Social neuroscience involves the ways in which human beings interact with one…

Nikola Tesla from oblivion to spotlight Introduction Nikola Tesla is one of the most controversial figures on science. While many judged him simply as a mad scientist, few were able to see how he was ahead of his own time, providing the theoretical and practical foundation to several modern equipments. We, as a society, not only owe Tesla for the AC (alternating current) electric system of supply, but also for the radio, the x-ray, the remote control and controlled rocket missiles. However,…

accepted scientific theories like evolution. They do not do research but they propose what they consider to be good ideas. For example they try to say that the flagellum is too complex to have been created through evolution so instead they use no science and say that a higher being or intelligent designer must have put it there. They use a negative theory to try and prove that they are correct. I would not consider them a scientific organization because they don’t do experiments on their ideas…

scientists and the public. He argues that sciences has been politicalized in recent year, and he mentions another Pew Poll that found that Republicans— even well educated Republicans are less likely to admit Climate Change is human induced. Additionally, Democrats in the past have also been critical of certain medical vaccinations, thus he finds that both…
