Science: Boon or Bane?
The Meaning of Science
You can classify science as a systematic classification of experiences, which is what people call scientific. When we feel surprised at events, we will sometimes get doubts, what does this classify as? The concerns are the seed product of technology, and it begins with sound reasoning, research, thinking, evaluation, features, and finally, you discover the hard facts of a subject. Almost all researchers have followed the scientific method in one way or another, but sometimes it gets diluted through politics and secret agendas.
First of all I am going to assume that boon is in the yes column.
Science is fundamentally neutral - whether it is good or bad is dependent upon the people creating it and ultimately using it. The vast majority of science is done for science's sake, for the 'advancement' of humanity and therefore on the whole can be thought of as good. Yes there are bad things that come out of science - take for example nuclear weapons which are something that is pretty obviously on the bane side of this debate but these weapons in and off themselves are not particularly bad (I guess pretty much balance out - boon of employment vs bane of using some resources pointlessly + worry of some nuclear waste) rather it is the use of them that is particularly bad.Science Saves Us from Infectious Catastrophes
If not for the field of medical science, we might still face calamitous diseases like the black plague that ravaged Europe before it continued on a destructive path to Russia. At the time, the Black Plague killed around 450 million people, which historians estimate was between 30 to 60 percent of the population in Europe at the time. Nowadays, science has addressed these issues with isolating the infected and better knowledge of how diseases work, which became possible through medical science and learning about the problem. It has helped millions of people to stay healthy. For the time being, antibiotics like penicillin has saved as many as 80,000,000 lives.
No because...
One of the compelling arguments against the use of antibiotics relates to how diseases slowly grow immune to antibiotics and other treatments, and the immunity of these diseases could one day cause severe problems for humanity with a super disease that they can't treat. In the future, it could mean more problems than what it solves. One of the reasons physicians say you should never take more antibiotics than necessary is that it helps this bacteria to become immune to it.
Science: Boon or Bane?
Yes because...
Saves Ecologically Sensitive Environments
Beyond any shadow of a doubt, science will continue to advance well into the future. One of its more interesting discoveries has been the possible use of bacteria to help clean up oceanic oil spills like the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Science has engineered a form of hydrocarbon bacteria and microbes that feed off the polluted parts of the ocean, called Alcanivorax borkumensis.
No because...
Most people won't argue how we wouldn't be in a lot of the messes we have today if it weren't for science. For example, when the BP oil spill happened, we wouldn't even be in that mess if it weren't for scientific advances that made those things possible. To extract the oil from deep sea drilling, for example, we needed a great deal of scientific research involved in how to conduct deep sea drilling. When the oil flooded out and polluted the ocean, we used science to unravel the trouble it had already gotten us into. Another way science has decimated the environment relates to manufacturing and the ozone. Whenever someone sprays hair spray, it depletes the ozone layer, which will hurt us over the long term if we're not careful to address these environmental concerns.

Science is BOON or BANE?
Science is nothing but systematic classification of experiences. Can you imagine the world without Science? The life would be harder. Every part of life whether it is food or recreation is related to science and its various ways.
The invention of electricity made a tremendous rev0lution on earth. The expansion of medical field made our life span up to 100. Computers, Cell phones, Television, Radios, Robots, aeroplane are all products of Science. We have enough clothing and better security too. Even you can place your foot in moon. This all became possible due to Science and Technology.
So it is easy to conclude science is boon to us. As Newton said “To every actions it has its equal opposite reaction” , Science also have have its own negative side.
Industrial revolution have created lots pollution problems. Already the ozone layer gave threaten signal. The more use of technology started destroying Nature. The human become more addict on technology . The powers like Guns , Riffles, Nuclear Power are also an important inventions of Science for Security purpose. But unfortunately these are used as destructives of Earth.
Man is a logical being. When you fire a wood to get warm it is boon at the same time when you fire the same to destroy something it is a bane. So we should choose wisely.
Hope it helps you.
