Charles Darwin

1. What is our responsibility do we have for the understanding of science?
The word Science comes from the latin word "scientia", which stands for knowledge. As humans, we are given the amazing abilities of curiosity and questioning and we need to use them to there greatest potential. By being curious we are able to question what we see. By queationing, we have been able to discover theories that we would have never believed. The first person to use question to its full potential was Socrates and thats why we do Socratic Seminars, which include questioning others on there information. Darwin was able to discover natural selection by questioning our Earth and it's creatures. So next time your curious about something, question it.

2. What role should scientific inquiry and scientific knowledge play in our own society?

In our society, the role of scientific inquiry should be used to come up with a way where we can learn to wonder and develop technology that is useful to our current situation of depression rather than creating things we don't need and barely use. If we want to get to the top without later failing, we have to think about the most beneficial substance or thing that we can all count on as a society-not just individually.
