Science is one thing that I find really interesting personally and that's because of how it relates to literally everything in this life. The effect science has on our lives as humans is undeniable because it's in everything we can think of. Day by day we keep hearing of new inventions some that have even happened a long time before we even get to hear of them and it always leaves us amazed.
We get to understand more about life and our environment thanks to science. Now we easily get to find a solution to most of our problems because science has made solutions to them, thanks to so many great scientists that I've given themselves to so many experiments that I've become both unsuccessful and successful. When you get to meet with a true scientist, you get to see his or her passion towards inventing or creating something spectacular which most times are for the good of something.
Well, in all of these creations, we have come to see that these scientist are beginning to go beyond their boundaries just to prove that they can or they are gods too. I remember in one of my science classes, my lecturer tried to tell us of how science disagrees on how this Earth and humans were formed and most times I just smile because it only proves they are struggling with disbelief. The funniest part is that time and time again, they've failed in proving that theory right.
Sciences is a bedrock for letting imaginations run wild. These scientist are always thinking of ways to create something out of nothing and somehow they've deviated from the right part. They have gone far to create something that has more disadvantages than it's advantages and that has gradually caused a lot of problems to our world. There are so many areas I feel science has gone far but one major one is in the aspect of food processing and production.
Due to the so much knowledge some scientists have attained, they have gone to the extent of adulterating most of the foods we consume daily all in the name of making more gains, making goods more affordable and also showing their science skills. Daily, we've seen how the human health keep depicting on a daily basis and it has been proven that most of these things happen due to the nature of food we consume. Taking a look at our canned foods, one can only imagine the content of the preservatives used in keeping the food for a longer time than usual.
The effect of taking in most of these foods is seen clearly in the number of illnesses and diseases we hear of almost every single day. I remember in one of my biology lectures, we were told that it is now easy to produce a meat without an animal. I was so amazed hearing that and I can only imagine the amount of damage that would cause if it was really true. We keep consuming so many things that are totally unhealthy for us and it's all thanks to science.
Based on how much our food processing industries have been contaminated, I also still feel that scientist can also do better in giving us the best of the best with the knowledge they have than focusing more on making gains and endangering the life of everyone. Science is being felt in the food processing industries but in a negative way. If only they can be more considerate to look for a way to keep the food we consume safe that would go a really long way in preserving our health.
Humanity deserves better with all the knowledge we are exposed to but sadly it's hard to feel that impact positively because everyone is more concerned of themselves and their loved ones and think it's too expensive to care for everyone so they just get greedier and do what they want. Food is an essential in human lives so if science can develop more on improving the essentials of what we eat then it would go a really long way than science focusing on producing more drugs for the damages they've incurred through the food we consume.
This is my response to the Hivelearners topic on "SCIENCE TOO FAR".
