which of the following is not a way that science influences society ? 1)science provides answer to some of society's practical problem 2)science gives society answer to difficult ethical ethical issues. 3)science advances technology that is useful to society 4)science increases society's understanding of how people affect the environment.

OpenStudy (221emily):

I don't know what it means by practical problems but im pretty sure that science has nothing to do with it. because Practical problems I think has to do whit the way humans bring problems upon each other. But still I would double check that because I have never heard of Practical Problems.

OpenStudy (blues):

Practical problems are the challenges that we actually face in our lives. Such as meeting needs, or curing a disease, or tying our shoes so we don't trip. As opposed to theoretic problems - such as, "Does Life have meaning?" or "Does God exist?"

OpenStudy (221emily):

OOOOOOh lol I think you may have just answered two questions in one

OpenStudy (blues):

Emily, answer two questions in one is precisely what I intended to do. Get good enough at that and they'll make you a mod...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've had this question before i cant really confirm if my answer is right but i would say 1)science provides answer to some of society's practical problem (process of elimination. every thing else sounds like they do it)

OpenStudy (blues):

But it asks which science does NOT do. Science absolutely does provide answers to every day practical problems. Such as how to cure a disease (think medical science) or how to generate energy (think nuclear engineering). So I don't think the answer is number 1. But process of elimination is definitely the way to go. The first option is no longer under consideration.

So lets use elimination. eliminate 1 because of blue.(he made a good point). Eliminate 3 because of computers/medicine. Then i would say eliminate 4 because we have learned how we affect the environment or we would not know what pollution is.
