Many
glorious achievements have been achieved by science. The advances in science
are truly breathtaking. It touches everyone in everyday life. We are living in
the era of science. Without science we would have none of the modern comfort
and luxuries. Science has changed the complexion of modern world. But science
has many dark aspects. It is not an unmixed blessing. It has brought misery to
humanity.
The science has immense destructive power. It has power to demolish
the world in a moment. If man is proud of former, he cannot avoid the shame of
latter. Science can give many things and can spoil many things. It has the most
dangerous effect on human life. Man’s emotion has been standardized to suit the
requirement of an age of science. His thoughts and ideas have become more
mechanical and less human. His inner world is suppressed by the outer. Science
is neutral enough to permit aristocracy – any social system based on any set of
values to use it. Different system may limit its growth differently. Man need
science because the purpose of science is not to disturb the life, but to
develop it with its faculties. It is not an enemy of humanity.
