Science and Mankind
Science plays an important part in the proGREss of human civilization. We may well say that science is to human beings what food is to the body. The wonders and magnificence of modern society owe a great deal to science. What we enjoy and use conveniently and efficiently is without doubt the result of science.
But we must be clearly aware of the fact that anything exists in both positive nature and negative nature. Science is no exception. For example, atomic energy can help us remove mountains, change the courses of rivers, and do many other things beneficial to the people. But it can also kill and destroy thousands and millions of lives in a split second.
Being a citizen in modern times, we must try our best to make proper use of science. And the most important thing of all, we should adopt a scientific way in coping with our work and study. In a word, we must guide our behavior in accordance with the scientific law.
