Why is science important
Content: Biology is a fundamental science used to help medical advances. Through biology we can study and grow our knowledge on the human body and further our medical understanding saving millions of lives worldwide. Chemistry too has its uses in the medical field through a deeper understanding of chemicals and how they work and react to each other. Pharmaceutical companies use the science of Chemistry to develop new treatments for medical conditions and symptoms. Science has also enabled us to develop socially and better ourselves. In a time where slavery was an acceptable practice, a scientist visited a village of black people in the hope of proving that they were lesser beings because they were more like animals rather than humans. In order to achieve this, he compared each of their five senses to his study of Caucasian senses, in the hope that they would prove to be significantly better, like in animals. Instead he proved the exact opposite and found that in his study all of the people he tested had roughly the same level of sensory awareness, with no distinction between skin colors. He was therefore forced to admit his results were in favor of racial equality and changed his own beliefs accordingly. Thanks to his unbiased and scientific nature he was able to progress as an individual and also share his findings with others.
