In our society through the years, the role of science is evidently shown through the improvement of our daily lives. It helps beat out the curiosity out of us and in building new foundation of knowledge. It plays an important role on societal needs that we encounter daily and even global challenges that the world experience. It makes life easier and convenient in comparison to the life our ancestors have a hundred years ago. Before they need to create fire in order to cook food but now we only need to turn on the gas stove for us to cook one. We go through towns and certain destinations through the help of public transportation instead of just walking down the road. Through science, we cannot deny the fact that it really has a big part in improving our daily lives. It is not just science and technology which affects the society but in fact both the society and science are factors that may affect each other. In terms of the effect that science should have brought us varies sometimes because of the society. For instance medicines are supposed to help one's health improve but some people from the society are fond of using antibiotics as their medicine without knowing if it is really applicable and appropriate to use it. The result of this is people became tolerant of antibiotics which result to need of higher dosage which is not good. The inappropriateness of using these medicine makes me think that society has a power to change the supposedly effect of science depending on how they utilize such benefits and turn them into hazards. On the other hand science and technology has a lot to offer some are beneficial and some may not be. People differ on how they adapt to the modern technological changes that occurs in our lives and we can't deny the fact that some individual relies on technology alone which make them dependent and even forgot how to live a life without having technology around them. Some are focused all day on their phone and even forget to even and even sleep especially teens who are really fond of using technology. I say nothing is wrong on using technology however people must learn to utilize them responsibly because one of these days the way they use science and technology may be a factor of what they may be and how they become whether it is good or a bad thing.
In terms of Global issues and challenges such as Covid-19, I have to say that the importance of science is much more undeniable. From the start of the Pandemic itself and through the process of learning how the virus spreads, how it looks like, the signs and symptoms of Covid-19, and the treatment to the patient which are tested positive. Science and technology gives the answer to all that questions. It provides us facts and new knowledge which improves our lives. Especially on how we can prevent ourselves from acquiring the virus. In line with this we the society can help science by spreading facts and information on how we can avoid having them. These may be simple ways but it helps a lot to lessen the burden that they already have. As for myself, due to the pandemic I have learned a lot especially on staying healthy and keeping my immune system strong because having weak immune system might be a factor for us to acquire the virus faster than of the people who have strong immune system. For the past months, I am wanting to consume more food that is good for my health and learning the importance of physical activities to improve my fitness. I became really particular about how the people wear their face mask. I get slightly annoyed whenever I see people wearing face mask the wrong way. Through the months I also learned to distinguish facts from fake news that is spreading here in our town like there are people testing positive which is not true and made people scared from going out. So in connection to that, people like us who has knowledge about the virus should tell people who has not yet learned about the virus in order to help them prevent and differentiate virus from other by telling them the signs and symptoms of the virus itself in order to prevent and clear any misunderstanding about the virus. I also learned that discipline plays an important factor to consider by this time because parties and gatherings that is held may cause super spreading which is a huge burden to us because it alters the way we live. The new normal setup is a huge challenge since it is new to us. We have to make a big adjustment on the way we take the society. For us students and even teachers, online class is a big struggle because it is really far different from the face to face setup. Our adaptability during these times are being tested, even though it is quite a burden we have no choice but to comply with it since it is also for our own good.
By the stated implications of the pandemic that is happening to the world. I believe that we will become much more concerned and conscious about what is happening to our society. I also hope that people learned from their mistakes of them not being disciplined because these might be simple but this really affects the whole as a society. However I believe that if anything something similar to that happens again we know what to do and what we shouldn't do that would harm not just our health but also the society we live in. But i really hope that something similar would not happen because we are all struggling with this kind of setup. I am aware of what could possibly happen if science and technology is not present most especially during these trying times in which they play an important role.
Science and Technology and the Society comes hand in hand they must be in sync in order to provide good things. One change might affect the whole system so we the society should learn to adapt and use science and technology responsibly. The society is like the controller of the science of technology so with these we should be manipulated well. It's like having teamwork in order to have a good play.
