A.
1. Draw a Venn diagram that shows the interrelationship among science,
technology and society.
SOCIETY
SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
The discovery and
pursuit of knowledge.
Does not change
Make predictions
Biology, mathematics,
and social science.
The practical
application of scientific
knowledge.
Prone to change
Solves problems and
makes work easier.
Engineering,
agriculture, and
biotechnology.
Science informs
the technological
advancements
Drives technological innovations and
scientific inquiry.
A highly organized human organization
for large-scale communal life that
provides its members with safety,
continuity, security, and a national
identity.
Science helps
solve that need of
society.
It would not exist if it weren't for
technological advancements. The
impact of social media, the internet
as a whole, and blockchain
technology, among other things,
has been tremendous.
How we act changes as a
result of our scientific
understanding of how the
world works. Technology
has changed the way we
can act. Technology and
scientific investigation
are driven by society.
2. 2. Write down 15 -20 sentences to explain your diagram briefly and concisely.
We can see from my diagram that we have compared and connected the three
primary components of Science, Technology, and Society. Let's start with the link
between science and technology to break it down and explain each one. Science has a
role in technological advancements. Werelyon ideas in physics, material science,
electrical, chemistry, and other domains were used to develop new technologies.
Indeed, we're still working on a number of potentially valuable compounds that are
predicted to exist based on current scientific theories, and the more scientific theory
advances, the more valuable these materials become. The more it can inform our
technological advancements, the better. Our capacity to construct such powerful
computers is based on our scientific knowledge. Quantum computers are being created
based on our study, which will improve our computing capability by orders of magnitude.
The influence of technology on society is evident in certain aspects. It's also fairly
substantial. If not for technical breakthroughs, it would not exist. Previous technological
revolutions, such as the industrial and agricultural revolutions, must, of course, be taken
into account. Technical breakthroughs are responsible for the capacity to create
materials that we need in our everyday lives, as well as the ability to feed a huge
number of people. Last but not least, there is the science-society interaction. Science,
like technology, contributes to the settlement of societal issues. While improving our
understanding is one of research's key aims, many individuals utilize science to help
address real-world challenges. For example, our study is driven by the desire for a
greater understanding of the subject. The knowledge of epidemics Science also aids in
our understanding of society. Anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, and
other disciplines all help us understand how society functions. The connection between
the three is straightforward: our behavior evolves as a result of our scientific
understanding of how the world works. The way we can act has altered as a result of
technological advancements. Society is the driving force behind technological
advancements and scientific research. Science teaches us about the kind of
technologies we might be able to produce and how we can go about doing so, while
technology assists us in conducting more scientific research. Because the three sectors
are so linked, it may be difficult to distinguish between them. Understanding how the
three interact is critical, as one has an impact on the other's destiny.
B.
1. Explain why there is a need to study science, technology and society in general?
Technology, information, and science are all critical components of today's
civilisation. To understanding contemporary postmodern culture, we must first
understand how social, cultural, and material forces influence the emergence of new
behaviors, ways of thinking, and institutions. Students learn how diverse knowledge
processes start and expand, as well as how innovative technological processes are
invented, used, and become more essential, through technology and scientific courses.
Technology and science studies give insight into the understanding and knowledge of
technology, science, and knowledge from the perspectives of the humanities and social
sciences.
2. What are the importance of science and technology in your chosen course?
Because technology is an ever-changing component of our world today, science
and technology are important in my chosen degree. Technology and science continue
to advance, exposing us to new levels of surprise and curiosity. It assists us in dealing
with complex situations in our daily life. As a nursing student, for example, innovative
machinery now employed in hospitals and other medical facilities may assist you in
3. providing entire patient care successfully and efficiently. It consumes less time and can
deliver accurate statistics as well as adequate healthcare. Because, when it comes to
health technology, it aids in the improvement of patient safety by minimizing medication
errors, adverse drug reactions, and adherence to practice guidelines. There is no doubt
that health information technology is an important tool for improving healthcare quality
and safety.
