Importance of Science

Importance of Science

To understand the importance of Science, you must first understand the meaning of it.

According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary,

"Science (from Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe."

Here's a video introducing to you the importance of Science.

Here are some of my view on why Science is important:
1. Science is important because it can cure many diseases. 100 years ago, a person could possibly die from pneumonia or other diseases that we could cure with medication nowadays, and it is all about the evolution of Science. Science could save lives, and therefore it is definitely very important.

2. Science is important because it allows us to study and understand things around us. For example, microscopes allow us to see all the micro-organisms we cannot see with our bare eyes, and telescopes allow us to look into space and study stars very far away from us, and those are all inventions of Science.

3. Science had given us great inventions. All the machines we use today, such as the laptop I'm using right now to type this reflection, were products of innovative Science. They made our lives so much easier and more fast-paced, and allow us to put more energy and time doing what we have to do.
