One of the important aims of science education is to help the students to become responsible democratic citizens of the country. The responsibility of a science teacher is very crucial and critical. It is not only to teach facts, principles, and processes of science but also to facilitate students to discharge their social responsibilities and preserve the democracy of the nation as well. Students should learn how to appreciate how science and technology have developed over the years and it is in turn affecting diverse individuals, cultures, and societies. Science has positive and negative impacts that are incorporated into 4 sectors: POSITIVE IMPACTS #SCIENCE FOR ENVIRONMENT-Science has helped to combat various environmental concerns and to stop the degradation of the environment and to preserve natural resources. Examples 1. Use of plastics to produce biosynthetic fuels. 2. Development of waste-eating bugs. Development of air purifiers to decrease the level of pollutants released into the environment. 4. Greenhouse chambers for effectively protected plant growth 5. Development of solar panels and windmills providing ways to use non-renewable resources thus reducing excessive dependence on renewable resources. #SCIENCE FOR HEALTH-he health sector has been largely able to combat deadly viruses, bacteria, and diseases due to the integration of science with health.Examples 1. Development of Covid -19 vaccine.2. Formalization of the consumption of various nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, fats, minerals, etc. in requisite amounts for a person to remain healthy.3. Antibiotic medicines to reduce the impact of several dangerous diseases such as syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy.4. Development of several drugs for chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Radiotherapy has proved to be a potential therapy for removing tumours. #SCIENCE FOR PEACE-Science has indeed brought about an overall betterment of the life of humankind. The association of science in promoting peace and harmony is quite a significant one. Example1. Reduction in the violence in mankind due to involvement of science and the association of a specified team of UNESCO in promoting peace.2. Children need to be encouraged to appreciate and participate in the responsible use of science and technology for the benefit of society. They need to be made to realize the importance of the interconnection of peace, justice, and non-violence. They should be able to understand that all the developments in the field of science have been made to uplift humankind and make peace prevail all around. #SCIENCE FOR EQUITY-It acts as a foundational basis to promote and integrate equity by promoting Unity in Diversity in Schools and society.Examples1. Science as a tool to reduce the divisions in the society and help fight disparity and prejudice based on caste, religion gender differences.2. Use of science to teach the importance of differences in culture and beliefs.3. Use of ICT tools to bridge the gap between differences arising due to stratification in the society thus promoting gender sensitization.4. Equal treatment of students even during practical work and inclusive language use. NEGATIVE IMPACTS-Science is full of practical application and have some negative impacts as well. Some of the issues related to science are-1. Air pollution and water pollution- The main sources of air pollution-related to technologies that emerged following the industrial revolution as the burning of fossil fuels, factories, power stations, mass agriculture, and vehicles. The consequences of air pollution include negative health impacts for humans and animals and global warming, whereby the increased amount of greenhouse gases in the air trap thermal energy in the Earth’s atmosphere and cause the global temperature to rise .2. Depletion of natural resources - Resource depletion is another negative impact of technology on the environment. It refers to the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. Natural resources consist of those that are in existence without humans having created them and they can be either renewable or non-renewable. There are several types of resource depletion, with the most severe being aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, contamination of resources, soil erosion, and overconsumption of resources. These mainly occur as a result of agriculture, mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels, all of which have been enabled by advancements in technology3. Some of the negative impacts are greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, and release of toxic elements. Thus, Science is a field that is full of practical applications and have positive and negative impacts but if science is used in an economic way considering the side effects as well the negative impacts can be reduced and can make human life easier by making machine and advancing the technology. archana071996 https://padlet.com/jipsymalhotra/str015nqdtjcf3xr/wish/1481347107 ARCHANA KUMARI; SECTION-A

Science has a direct impact on the society in various ways:

1. On environment
We know the current climatic situation of earth and the scientific knowledge about it is what is making people come up with solutions like environment friendly energy resources. Many more environmental concerns like pollution, water scarcity etc are being addressed because of science.

2. On health
Health of people is majorly impacted by Science as professionals like doctors and scientists do a deep scientific research for better health solutions. One current example is coming up with the vaccine for corona virus.

3. On agriculture
Our society depends on the agricultural practices for food and through science only, new methods and techniques are employed for better agriculture. Eg. The method of drip irrigation is used to minimize water usage without compromising crop quality.

4. For industrialisation
Industrialisation affects the standard of living of the society and it requires all kinds of machinery and methods based upon scientific knowledge. The manual labor has been replaced by machinery which saves time as well as effort.

5. For peace and equity
Science research requires people to work together to create something innovative or bring solutions.it sometimes involve people from different parts of the world and thus promotes peace globally. For eg. Different countries might work together to find the cure for a disease. Or a satellite launched by ISRO is not just beneficial to India but to the whole world. Also, as people work together, they develop respect for each other's views and opinions thus developing peace and equity.

Both science and society has influenced each other that it become a vital party of our life. The four main factors of society which are affected by science in a positive as well as negative way are:

1. Environment:
Positive aspects: Science helps the environment to overcome the environmental issues like pollution, deforestation etc.
Interaction between various animals and different web cycles are associated with it.
Use of electric vehicles to reduces pollution.
Medicinal use of plants.
Reuse of making plastics in making furniture etc.
Negative aspects: Rise in temperature due to air conditioner, more use of vehicles, pollution by vehicles, global warming. 

2. Health:
Positive aspects: Science plays a major role in combating various bacteria, viruses etc.
Development of vaccines (COVID-19).
Making of different nutrient supplements.
Various therapies and treatments of diseases.
Negative aspects: Use of mobile phones endlessly affects the health of an individual which makes him more prone to fatigue and diseases.

3. Peace:
Positive aspects: Sharing of innovations with the other countries like vaccines distribution to the other countries for better health of citizen.
Organizing various scientific conferences by UNESCO which helps in promoting peace.
Negative aspects: Development of atomic and nuclear bombs.
Leakage of gas plants.

4. Equity:
Positive aspects: Science helps in giving equal status to an individual without any discrimination.
Discrimination on the basis of color came into light by the role of genetics so people can understand that color   is inherited from parents.
Distribution of vaccines, food, water etc. through transportation system irrespective of caste, creed or sex.

SHAGUNN RASTOGI, Section -B ]]> 2021-05-05 08:05:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jipsymalhotra/str015nqdtjcf3xr/wish/1492850323 Importance of Science on Society sethitaneesha https://padlet.com/jipsymalhotra/str015nqdtjcf3xr/wish/1503433820 A society with knowledge applied and explored is the one that develops. Civilisations have risen and fallen and have had their own approach and understanding of the concepts of nature and with them had risen concepts of science trying to explain the various phenomenon of nature. 
Science as a word came quite later on and only in recent centuries did its disciplines formed.
But science as a whole has its impacts on the various parts of life and society. These factors are what all together forms and changes societies both positively and negatively.
Factors such as the Environment, Industry, peace, Health, Agriculture, Education, Equity, etc.
Science has as much of an impact on society as society has on it. after all the development in scientific fields is regulated by the societies demands and needs. Society has accepted it and thus it progresses. If its experimentation and explanation still considered as taboo or black magic ,etc then science as a field would not have been able to develop. Whereas science helps the society to rise above superstitions, to reach beyond what they have created as their limit and to make amends with the earth and nature as we have polluted it. Science helps us rise above from the bias of colour, gender and race by providing facts genetics and experimental and otherwise. It helps develop technologies that ease our living and increases our surviving chances. It provides us with a more humane perspective of humanity as we work our way from basic survival to explorative living.
But as any coin it has two sides to it and what can be developed for good can also be mutilated for bad. The very use of pesticides, chemicals , etc to create artificial equipment or extract something from nature can produce harmful non- biodegradable residues. The biological sciences which pioneers the medical fronts can also increase the lethality of the strains and and produce bio weapons. Just see the case of the atomic bomb where the same principles are used to generate electric energy for cities can destroy those very cities by some alterations, harming peace.
Similarly using genetics to understand the need of genetic variation to produce superior crops and prevent inbreeding in cattle and humans alike can be misused to promote euthenics and such.
Science and society do go hand in hand in their development but a tandem balance of ethics, values and regulations should always be maintained.

It plays a crucial role in making our lives comfortable, artificial intelligence is the greatest example as when we listen to online music, do online shopping or search for nearby restaurant artificial intelligence is made use of. In-fact science is taught to students so that they might develop a scientific attitude and contribute something to the society. Studying sciences also helps people to make rational choices.
The major impacts are -
1. Science for environment - Negative impacts
The major impacts on environment include air and water pollution, depletion of natural resources . With the onset of industrialization there have been great losses in our forest reserves, massive habitat destruction for the construction of industries etc. Further the wastes released by these industries causes air and water pollution and also causes harm to marine ecosystem.
some positive impacts include- Use of plastics for biosynthetic fuel production and introduction of e-vehicles which causes less air pollution.
2. Science for industrialization - Some negative impacts include deforestation, soil erosion which can lead to natural calamities like flood, drought etc. As trees plays a vital role in holding water in cases of flood so with deforestation this retaining capacity is lost.
3. Science for health -  Scientific principles, theories are made use of in health sector like the development of vaccines - Covid 19 vaccines. Development of antibiotic vaccines for preventing the spread of diseases like cholera etc.
Some negative impacts include -
Science is also being used for bio-wars or bioweapons are made through it in which microbes are made use of to cause misery and grief among people.
4. Science for disarmament - It has been used to bring about harmony amongst the mankind. Specific strategies were used in association with a team of UNESCO to combat the violence especially when nuclear tests were being planned by North Korea.

Through us it has now become the major factor in society. Science has a very large impact on how a society functions: Science has been involved majorly in the following 4 sectors of society :

POSITIVE IMPACTS: 

1. Science for environment
Science has helped to combat various environmental concerns and to stop the degradation of the environment and to preserve natural resources.

Examples
1. Use of biofuels.
2. Development of air-conditioners.
3. Greenhouse chambers for effectively protected plant growth
4. Development of solar panels and windmills providing ways to use renewable resources thus reducing exhaustion of non-renewable resources like petroleum.

2.Science for health

Science has been a boon to health industry in combating deadly viruses, bacteria, and diseases due to the integration of science with health.

Examples
1. Development of Covid -19 vaccine.
2. differentiating different components of foods and categorizing them to calories so that appropriate nutrition could be given to individuals for maintain healthy lifestyle.
3. Antibiotic production for several deadly diseases such as syphilis, tuberculosis, leprosy.
4. Development of several drugs for chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer.
Radiotherapy has proved to be a potential therapy for removing tumors.

3.Science for peace
Science has indeed brought about an overall betterment of the life of humankind. The association of science in promoting peace and harmony is quite a significant one.

Example
Various disputes between different countries are solved through scientifically logical debates so that the rational thinking is involved in finding out the solutions which in turn develops the peace development. Reduction in the violence in mankind due to involvement of science and the association of a specified team of UNESCO in promoting peace. World crisis situations like the COVID -19 Pandemic many countries which were against each other’s policy are now coming forward to combat this situation together.

 

4. Science for equity

It acts as a foundational basis to promote and integrate equity by promoting Unity in Diversity in Schools and society.

Examples
1. Science as a tool to reduce the divisions in the society and help fight disparity and
prejudice based on caste, religion gender differences.
2. Use of science to teach the importance of differences in culture and beliefs.
3. Use of ICT tools to bridge the gap between differences arising due to stratification in the society thus promoting gender sensitization.

NEGATIVE IMPACT

1.Impact of science on environment
The industrial revolution has brought about new technologies with immense power. By continued industrialization and further technological advancements in developed countries around the world, and the impact of this technology on the environment has included the misuse and damage of our natural earth.

These technologies have damaged our world in two main ways: pollution and the depletion of natural resources.
  •  Air and water pollution

The main sources of air pollution-related to technologies that emerged following the industrial revolution as the burning of fossil fuels, factories, power stations, mass agriculture, and vehicles. The consequences of air pollution include negative health impacts for humans and animals and global warming, whereby the increased amount of greenhouse gases in the air trap thermal energy in the Earth’s atmosphere and cause the global temperature to rise.

  • Depletion of natural resources

 It refers to the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished. There are several types of resource depletion, with the most severe being aquifer depletion, deforestation, mining for fossil fuels and minerals, contamination of resources, soil erosion, and overconsumption of resources. These mainly occur as a result of agriculture, mining, water usage, and consumption of fossil fuels, all of which have been enabled by advancements in technology.
2. Science and industrialization

Impacts include the release of toxic elements and industrial wastes into the environmental systems and the burning of hydrocarbons. Some of these impacts are deforestation, water modifications, exploitation of groundwater, the release of toxic elements, burning of hydrocarbons, and depletion of the ozone layer.

3. Science and disarmament

There has been a connection between science and the preparation of war in all countries. The deliberate application of science in the development of armaments is transforming the nature of weapons and the general character of war. The gravest problem is the development of new types of weapons, and yet neither the official policies of governments nor the proposals of unofficial bodies seem to envisage this problem. It is quite useless to abolish old armaments if new and more deadly types of weapon are to be produced by the application of scientific research to such an end. It is also unrealistic to believe that the process of technological innovation can be frozen to prevent its military application. 

Therefore, science responds to the needs and interests of the society in which it is practiced and developed.
