What is Science?

By Tiago Amaro, 11º Zi
Escola Secundária de Loulé

Science can be used for good and for evil.

As an example, we can think that there are many materials that science has used in a way that does not cause any problem to human life, but if used incorrectly can also be dreadful for human life.

Look at the example of dynamite. Dynamite can be used to open roads or paths to build the railways and to accelerate the processes of mining, but also can be used to kill.

There is always a great doubt that always remains when we think about science: does the evolution of science compensate?
