Scientific progress and discovery

      The question we are considering for this week is what can science teach us? Your readings for this week include thinkers that highlight the importance of scientific progress and thinkers who caution us about the application of scientific ideas in questionable ways.In 2 or 3 pages, consider the following: In an age of constant scientific progress and discovery, describe how science and technology are useful to us but also explain why we might want to think about the potential shortcomings, as discussed in your readings. Do you believe politicians and certain religious groups use science to further their own ideological agendas, or do you think scientists politicize their views in favor of their own political and religious inclinations? Use the readings for this week and any other academic/credible sources you find to support your views. Remember to argue your points from your academic sources.
