Let us always remember that the value or the effects of the things that surround us depends on the one using it. These tools are invented in order to lessen the burden of our lives, to make our works easier. Don’t let the good intentions of the inventors be put into nothing.

The Needham Question is about understanding why China has stopped or slowed their development in terms of science and technology, while Europe very rapidly progressed. There are many factors considered, including the way Europe had to deal with international competition while China didn’t. But the interesting point here is although China’s economic development, culture, and tradition are all considered in the Needham question, China’s “progress,” or lack thereof, is still viewed from a European perspective. It’s still biased since there is no definite standard for development in technology. Moreover, the Needham Question is slowly becoming outdated with the resurgence of China as a major global power.

The way people interpret science, both the field and the act of discovery, will continue to evolve and change over time. From the procedures, to its uses, to our view of science will develop based on our needs of it and how we believe it to be most effective in our uses. Although some of the procedures has its problems, like the scientific method, no one can deny the things we’ve achieved through the use of it. All these different ways and processes all lead to the pursuit of knowledge because learning about the world we are living in is a never ending process. The option to unravel what science can do to our lives is within our reach, may it be in the simplest ways, as a profession or how you can imagine it to be.

In our early years we were taught that the scientific method was a linear process. However, this video opposes that idea as it promotes that it is, rather, a cycle. After all, the scientific method triggers our curiosity and desire to attain knowledge through our continuous questioning of the world around us.

The Citizen Science Revolution talks about how non-scientists are capable of contributing to the science world in even the simple ways. People who don’t have advance knowledge to science may help scientists gather or complete their research. This video promotes that science is not only for those who specializes in the field, but is a collaboration of those inside and outside the field since people have unique ways of understanding and interpreting things. Thus, will lead us to more complex ideas as our curiosity expands. We were also able to distinguish pseudoscience as something believed to be true unless disproved and post normal science.

Science is inevitable to change due to more contributions that will be made over time. Through the series of videos, we were able to grasp the idea that we should be open-minded to allow these changes to take part in the research as it leads you to different results that may affect your theories and beliefs. Moreover, it is inspiring to think that a person that is not entitled to any science field may contribute to a scientist’s research. It promotes how we are able to affect change around us in every simple way.
