With advances in science and technology, we now face issues today which did not exist years ago. For example, science aided in developing the engine, the automobile, and CFCs. At the time, deleterious effects were not necessarily known. However, issues such as ozone depletion have now arisen and must be addressed. In an essay (suggested length: 2-3 pages), demonstrate how science can be used to help make informed decisions about societal and global issues. Your essay should include the following elements: 1. Introduction - • Identify an issue that is both societal and global. Tell how it is both a societal issue and a global issue. • Identify how science is related to this issue and the connections between them. 2. Discussion - • Demonstrate how science can be used to help make informed decisions about an issue that is both societal and global. • Discuss: o How science has been involved in the development of the problem o What it is currently doing to address the problem both at the societal and global level o Directions that science can or may be taking in the future to help with the problem. 3. Conclusion • Briefly summarize the issue that is both societal and global in nature • Summarize the role science has played in the development of the problem • Identify role that science is currently playing with respect to the problem • Identify how science is being used to help make informed decisions • Identify how the role science plays with respect to the problem changes over time.
