Read the following passage carefully:
Science is a great blessing to mankind. Nothing better has happened in the history of man than advent
of science in his life. The world into which science came was a world of ignorance, suffering and
hardship. Science has come to relieve us of sufferings, to remove our ignorance and to lighten our toil.
Science is a very faithful servant of mankind. It serves us in all walks of life. Gone are the days when
only the rich could afford luxuries. Science has made them cheaper and brought them within the reach
of everybody. It helps in producing goods at large scale. They are sold at cheap rates in every market.
Books, music and all other forms of entertainment have been brought to our doors. Radio, Television
and Cinema entertain us fully. So the life of a common man is quite different from what it used to be.
It also acts as our most faithful medical attendant. It shows every care for our health. It has helped in
curing many diseases. No longer is small-pox, cholera and plague the ravages of mankind. Science has
given us the power to kill germs, which spread these diseases. It has worked miracles in the field of
education. With the help of great printing presses thousands of books are printed in the twinkling of an
eye, thus making the published material easily available and cheap. However, there is other side of
picture as well. Science has done greatest disservice to mankind in the field of armament.
The invention of gunpowder which was hailed as an achievement has been used and perfected into a
hundred thousand destructive weapons of war. As such, science, meant for man's happiness, is
employed by man for his own destruction. It is not the fault of science, but the fault of mankind.
