...anyone reading this.. yes! If you're reading this kudos for you! I shall introduce myself and a brief description of my ideas and thoughts of this.
My name is Savion (Say-vee-yun) (and that's all you need to know about my personal details!) and I have a global interest about science and maths (in fact, when I was young, these subjects were just about the only ones I was any good at, however I do really like the subjects History and Art - which you could argue is the opposite of maths), and I believe it's important for other students to know the importance of science, and maybe considering it as a career. I'm currently studying science/maths in college, chemistry is my favourite science out of all, and I'm wanting to take this subject further in university. I hope to captivate my readers into my posts about science and help you cut through your studies.
Science's position Today
I believe science in schools is an underrated subject, with it being compulsory to take, with at the most 40% of students taking sciences in college. This is terrible, I think more people should take science, and out of the people who do take science half wont even finish their course (ugh). That's just lazy. You can't be taking science and not expecting to do any work throughout the course to pass - unless of course - you're me.
But this is the reason why I'm here, to let my readers learn more about what science teaches in textbooks, expanding your knowledge and maintaining the interest that you did once have when you chose to do science.
I only do chemistry, physics and maths, I don't believe biology is a strong science; I like biology and it's vital but students tend to take Biology as an excuse to call themselves a scientist (and if you do, I'd like you to slice your eyelids off right now), and then add Psychology to their roster which I think defies the laws of a science being a science. Or even Sociology. And then somehow, Geography makes the list, and I'm like WHAT? I then compare this thought about Geography to a frog applying for X-Factor. So keep Geography where it belongs in the humanities section, and while putting Biology slightly aside from the rest of them, lets call a square a square and a circle a circle by considering Chemistry, Physics (and ultimately mathematics, which I haven't talked about much here) sciences.
Science has become more knowledgeable than what it used to be, lets say, 500 years ago. With some experiments being luck, and the decease of many influential scientists along with their discoveries after each century, science has grown. It may seem like to the naive student that there isn't much missing in it's brain, but I just reply by saying a century ago nobody thought we could ever 'fly' from one country to another.
Religion versus Science
I don't think that this is a battle, more rivalry. I'm not religious, and I respect people who are to the fullest, but religion started out as a strategy to solve problems - just like science - the only difference really is religion is not 'physical'. That's all. Hundreds of years ago important scientists (lets say, Michael Faraday), were highly religious themselves, and this suggests the situation was like a person being friends with two people who didn't get along, rather than black and white. And all this controversy of what Muslim scientists are getting should be eliminated. These sides cant be against each other, as they both share a common goal, to make the world a better place to live on. People have just got to realise this.
Another reason (if I think I made any reasons) why you should consider a science career is that on average, people who have science careers (especially maths) tend to earn more money than people who don't, which is always a good thing.
I hope you all benefit from my blogs, and please point out any improvemets that I can make. Thanks
Savion
