Science is a blessing or a curse to mankind?
Debate
I need points FOR the motion and AGAINST the motion
Answers
Answer:
All the No points:
The ‘bane’ is caused by humans
Yes because…
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. And of course most other science would not have the same problems on the bane column.
Answer:
sci is a blessing for man kind.☺
