SLIDE 1

What is knowledge? It’s a group of wide and deep ideas and contents you get from study or

experience. Scientific knowledge has to be: objective, systematic, verifiable and

communicable.

SLIDE 2

Do science and technique contribute to real human progress? Technology has become a

powerful weapon in international relations, helping the humanity’s development, but its fast

growing has deepened people’s inequalities. Science must serve knowledge and reason to

contribute to human emancipation. Technology has invaded our society, changing our

surroundings and changing ourselves and our values. Some scientists think that technology is

the solution for our problems, others are explaining the terrible consequences these

achievements are causing. As a consequence, the modern man lacks of compromise and

ethics.

Has our society the right to choose the kind of scientific progress we wish, to wonder about its

impact and decide who takes advantage of all this?

SLIDE 3

Can the scientific and technological progress take us towards something new which makes us

free or are we going to destruction? Today we give more importance to new projects and

technologies than to sport. It is giving us values such as respect, responsibility, creativity,

patience, humility, education, etc. which are very important for people as they help us in life

much more than virtual games that keep us at home, living in an unreal world, trying to escape

or forget real and everyday problems. We are spoiling our health, whereas sport helps us to be

fit and healthy. It takes us to nature, helps us to be in contact with other people and, at the

same time, we are apart from consumerism and the city’s decadence.

SLIDE 4

We want to express that nowadays, thanks to all the scientific and technological advances, the

human being feels powerful. We want to climb higher and higher, losing our humanity,

believing we do the right thing, forgetting nature and what is really important in life.
