Recommended: The effects of science and technology on society

Question 1
Science has been changing with time over the years. The way things are technologically are different from the way it was before and will be in the future. The way people in the past handled things in terms of how they believed science to be are quite different from the current times. The way technologies will be in the future. The evolution of technology is aimed at making the work of human beings very easy. It is the essence of being the hero in this day and age.

The critical analysis of this evolution of this technology has led to various questions being raised. There is the element of resisting change, which has been there from time in memorial till now. This is an aspect that must be looked at when the heroic view of science. Science is a matter of changing beliefs and systems of how people change through physical evidence of new ideas experimented. The view of these experiments can be questioned on various grounds. They are either the positive way or the negative way which people tend to find it as the easier option until when they accept change and the good things that comes with science.

We will always question science and what it offers mankind because it is the thing that is meant to provide people with the link to a better tomorrow. This is the heroic view that will be raised when questioning science and the path it is taking us. Technology will change but the way we look at things impact us in a positive way since we thrive at a better tomorrow but will come with the price of disbelief and doubt at first until it is accepted.

...s means but the price of solving these challenges is quite steep and the country men feel it. The fact that they find the resource, which they have been searching for Is not enough but there is the need to be in complete freedom of the civilians to use this resource to their own benefit. The fact that people always look for ways to exploit others comes out in a critical way in this movie and is considered the price poor men pay for their loyalty to their country.

The author tries to show the story from different angles as people will have different perspective of things when it comes to anything. This difference is what makes this movie to be very interesting always. These shows a side, which is rarely seen in real life since we only see the plight of people who fight the good and the people who benefit from such projects as a whole not the other side of the coin.

    Kuhn’s theory of paradigm shift. Mr. Bawazer offers a strong case. As an example from Mr. Kuhn’s theory we can understand how the different dog breeds evolved from the wolf. Depending on what type of breed you want from a hunting dog to a family dog breed, you can alter the DNA by letting the alpha dog to continue to breed or not. Next, we can realized that everything in this planet contains molecules or genes that can be altered. We also recognize that paradigm science and paradigm shift is a circular state not a steady line. This means that we have to adjust to what is going on the present time and expand from it, but always remember how it was done in the past. Thomas Edison well said “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” The only way to change science is to continue to try without being afraid of failing. If different engineers and industries unites forces to promote the use of natural resources rather than inventing new ones and also with the help of the government of going “green” will definitely help the environment to prevent

Stories let us see and even feel the world in different prespectives, and this is becuase of the writter or story teller. We learn, survive and entertain our selves using past experiences, which are in present shared as stories. This is why Roger Rosenblatt said, "We are a narrative species."

    Sipe highlights five different expressive engagements—dramatizing, talking back, inserting, and taking over—that children portray during story book read- alouds. He believes that teachers must encourage these behaviors in children because it shows participation and it inspires children to take over the story. Some of these expressive engagements are reasonable while some serve as a disfavor to children’s learning. On page 482, he gives instruction on how teachers can implement the expressive engagements in their classroom. Sipe claims, “the first type of expressive engagement, dramatizing, can be encouraged through dramatic reenactment” (481). This can be problematic for fairy tales such as “The Juniper Tree”. This story about a stepmother killing her stepson by beheading him then cooking him in a stew, and a little boy turned into a singing bird who then later kills his murderer by “…dropping a millstone on her head and crush[ing] her to death” (252) can be gruesome for children to dramatize. Another expressive engagement that Sipe mentions is “inserting”. Sipe claims that if children are encouraged to insert themselves or other people around them into the story that they are reading, they can exercise their power over the tales. Through this process, Sipe claims “children in process of becoming one with the story, to the extent of assuming their stance as fellow characters with equal agency and presence in the story” (478). The story of the little boy in “The Juniper Tree” suggest a different view about mechanically inserting characters in a story. The little boy must learn about what each of his family members did to contribute to his death. When the little boy died, he did not know anything about the causes of his death and the things that happened after. He had to learn that his “mother, she slew [him]”, his father
