Ever since I was a little boy, I have enveloped myself with knowledge of the sciences. My curious nature about technological gadgetry and the natural sciences has always given me an interesting and unique perspective about my surroundings. I will be the first one to admit that this certain knowledge that I have, gave me an advantageous understanding about the world. I basically gravitated towards science as a young child because of complexities of the natural world. As an adult, I still do cherish and appreciate the technicalities of science. I would consider myself more knowledgeable than the average person but not to the extent and level of a person that would be deeply involved in such fields.
By taking this course, it has made me acknowledge more its importance in our society and its potential to help and improve mankind. I was more influenced with the positives of the sciences. However, this also made me more aware to the potentiality and dangers of such sciences. Having introduced to such knowledge, and having the background of some minor Philosophy courses, I was able to think about science in a more humanistic way. I indeed do acknowledge that science is a part of our existence and that mankind only leases such knowledge and power from our surroundings. Even though that man sees itself as the most dominant, smartest living being in the planet, we must be aware that our species is fairly young and we have a lot to learn from our mistake as a species. I just truly hope that it does not come to the event in where mankind obliterates itself because of the unconscious use and malpractice of science.
