Weekly Question

As a society, we are very much into convenience and being comfortable. In fact, we are a lazy society. If an idea or product is presented to us that could potentially make our lives easier, we easily accept it without much digging or research to look for any negatives or positives. Also, science requires a lot of research that can take years to uncover answers and not too many people are willing to sacrifice part of or most of their lives to find answers to most questions science poses. This means years before the big “pay-off.” To some people, it just isn’t worth it.
Science and technology are often stigmatized in a negative way for women in particular. It is becoming rare for a woman to major in science and she is just expected to accept scientific aspects of life without questioning it. There isn’t enough of us as a whole to care.
