is contemporary research in science healing or destroying the world?findings and innovations in science have led to the viral use of social media, development of more efficient cures for diseases, the internet and the transformation of the world into a veritable global village. nevertheless, several nations are at daggers drawn, threatening each others with nuclear weapons and biological warfare. is science impacting the world positively or negatively?
you can actually research that. it would make a good research topic. grounded theory likely as methodology. one would assess scientific contributions against scientific "degradation"
in the above, how you measure a contribution/ degradation would be informative and perhaps based on a philosophical position centered on ethics
Research in science is like any tool, like a hammer: you can build a house with it or smash somebody's brains. It is not science as such but the users.
Science is value neutral; it is up to us how do we make use of it.
it is equally a question regarding the focus/ direction of science - whether science is steered in the right direction and whether the right issues/ problems are research in the right way (vantage point)
