LUCIA & XINNI

In our opinion, we do not believe that science solves all of mankind's problems. Science enable us to gain the knowledge of what the problem is, but seldom gets rid of the problem for us. For example, science tell us that regular exercising can help decrease the chances of having heart disease, but science doesn't help us to prevent heart disease. It is up to us to exercise regularly to prevent heart disease. This shows that only humans can solve our own problems. Science may tell us how to solve it, but in the end, it is only up to us. Only we can decide whether to do something to solve the problem. Another example is of global warming. Through science, human realize that there is global warming and the harm it brings to earth. This situation is irreversible and we only lessen the damage. But science does not help us to lessen the damage. It tells us how to do it, but doesn't reduce the damage. It is only up to mankind to decide whether or not to lessen the damage on earth. Therefore, we believe that science does not help to solve our problems because although it tells us how to solve the problem, in the end, only we humans can solve the problem ourselves.
