Importance of appreciating the Science and Scientists

Again, as explained by Hill, many children in high school go through the science classes like physics, chemistry, geology and others. However, most of the children do not like having these topics as their classes. It is because not everyone is going to become scientists. And not to mention, the students who do not even take these classes are not going to be scientists too. Despite this, science is in the lives of everybody including these students everywhere. “Science is everywhere. It affects us daily—individually and collectively, as a family, as a society and as citizens of Earth. We need to pay attention to it to make the best decisions at several crossroads of our lives” (Hill).

In today’s time, complex and gigantic scientific processes and theories are behind everything we do from waking up to going back to sleep. It is very easy to forget all this backend complexities and scientists who are behind our devices of luxuries and necessities. Due to lacking in knowledge of concepts and scientific theories, an average person in today’s society “does not fully appreciate the value the scientific endeavor has on his or her own life” (Hill). This is an issue we have to work on considering that science is the only accurate way to know about nature of everything we see, touch or hear.

As Hill says, the thoughtful use of science can also play a vital role in fixing the problems in a society. The debates and discussions on different issues of science and scientists make it to the mainstream media very easily nowadays. Science needs to be taken seriously by the public to see these discussions in the mainstream medium with clarity and transparency. Thus, when the general public starts to be aware of the branch of knowledge and starts appreciating science, “we no longer have to beat back the anti-science voices rampant in politics, in schools, or at the doctor’s office” (Hill). To explore more reasons to appreciate the science and technology, there are multitude of important and valuable petroleum products to be discussed - which are the results of the science itself.
