c. Is science a blessing or a curse? Write an essay on it. 

Ans: Science has reformed the human life. A large part of the advancement that humanity has made in various fields directly from the stone age to the cutting edge age is because of the advancement made in the field of science. Material advancement as well as the psychological viewpoint of man has been impacted by it. It has made man’s life more agreeable. Horticulture, business, transport, correspondence and medication to give some examples are for the most part profoundly obliged to the marvels science has delivered.

Power is perhaps the best marvel of current science. It’s anything but a wellspring of energy. It can run any sort of hardware. With the assistance of power, we can light our rooms run transports and prepares, and lift water for water system.

The revelation and advancement of countless amazing fuel sources coal, petrol, petroleum gas, power, and so forth have worked with the development of quick methods of transport a correspondence, which thusly have changed the world into a worldwide town. Science has given man the methods for voyaging vehicles, trains, ships, and so on Man has even headed out to the moon. Quicker methods for transport can be used for sending food grains to survivors of starvation or pestilences across the globe, for moving furnished men for battling in far off places.

Science has two faces great and awful. It relies upon us which face we need to see. In the event that we utilize the blessings of science in a positive way with positive aim and toward certain path it will profit the humankind, however on the off chance that we abuse it, it will demonstrate unsafe to all. To save ourselves and the world in general from annihilation, we should utilize the blessings of science appropriately.
