Charles Darwin

As humanities students (and humans), what responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?

- I think that we humans have all the responsibility at our hands. Because humans have been the key to making scientific discoveries in the past. I just think that there is nothing else in this world that can make scientific discoveries like us humans do.

What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?

- I feel like science plays such a big role in our society, today. I think that there is so much more that’s waiting to be discovered. Since humans are held responsible for discovering simple scientific things in the past, that it will play that same role today in society. The role it should play is humans discovering bigger more better ideas, as time goes increases.

How should science influence our decisions, laws, and culture?
- I don’t believe science should influence any decisions we make, or change our laws & culture. Science should be I guess, natural. It shouldn’t be something that changes our society drastically, but maybe it will mean that people need to view science in multiple aspects not just one and some people, regarding their religion or culture, would need to accept science the way it naturally comes upon us in society.
