Merits and Demerits of science:
History has witnessed the development made by man in different walks of life over the centuries. From the stone age to the modern computerized era.Modern science has now reached the peak of success. As we look over the brighter side of the achievements ofscience, wo come to realize that there is hardly any sphere of life that has not been improved by the creative abillities of man. In the field of medical science, knowladge and research has gone to such an extinict that almost all the aliments have found a cure.so that the new generation may enjoy a longer and better life. In the fiels of communication, modern scientific inventions have helped a lot. The wired spread air network has made our world a global village. Modern science has opened new vistas of entertainments.All the new gadgets have filled our life with recreational variety. The new methods of agriculture have boosted the produstion of farms and fields. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agricultural_machinery. This keeps on moving the nations on the path of progress and prosperity.
Science has some demerits also,
as we saw the other side of the picture a scene of horror, that science is also the monster of death and destruction.The fear of war and destruction hangs over our heads all the time. Man has gained knowladge in the field of science, but due to lack of wisdom, he is misusing this knowledge. All big nations are thinking to fulfilling the dream of becoming the super power.all the leading powers possess fatal weapons,and it seems that the weaker countries are at their mercy.The TV and videos provide entertainmentbut they quite often become the channels of vulgarity obscenity. Moreover new ways of crime are shown to younger people, who adopt the path to getting easy money.
Conclusion:
Looking at the two aspects of modern science, we conclude that science by itself is neither good nor bad.
It is the will and intentionsof man, which makes him , put it to constructive use or take it to the path of devil.
