Neil DeGrasse Tyson - homework

  1. 1. The scientific method is used to examine whether something is true or false. At first, somebody comes up with an idea and then test its truthfulness. In order to make sure that the statement is truly valid, there is a person who verify it once again. After two checking's, an idea becomes a fact. 

  1.  2. Humans from the beginning of times wanted to believe in something greater than them. That was the main factor of their beliefs. Personally, I think science can’t provide that the feeling of fulfilment. It can tell the scientific aspect of things but that’s all. Also, the language is a huge barrier for many people. I feel that’s why our society choose to believe in supernatural things. They can provide some of the answers that people are looking for, the sense of unity and belonging. Additionally, in many families these beliefs are passed down from the generations.

    Ad.1 - two people confirming a hypothesis still does not make it a fact; you need more that that

21st Century Children

Every now and then when I’m out in public, I see little kids with electronic devices with access to the Internet. But last week when I was in the shopping mall, I passed by the group of kids who were comparing likes on their profiles in a very heated way. I passed by them and I couldn’t stop myself from laughing, but also in some way being disappointed in a modern society.  This moment really got me thinking about this ongoing “modern” issue, which puts children in a digital world far too soon. I can’t comprehend that nowadays difference in likes can lead to an argument between friends. Those kids were around 9 or 10 years old. I wonder if they even know how damaging Internet could be for them. In my opinion, society is putting too much technology in children’s hands. Even though we all know how badly that could harm them.
