                     SCIENCE: A BLESSING 
AND A CURSE
INTRODUCTIO
In ancient times, maNn was a helpless toy 
in the hands of nature. He was completely 
at the mercy of forces of nature and lived 
with the constant fear of strong creatures. 
But with the blessings of science, he has 
now become the master of land, water 
and sky.

THE WORLD IS 
DIRTY AND 
POLLUTED
We cannot deny the fact that we are living in an 
environment which contains many harmful 
pollutants, more than ever before. These are 
mainly released by cars, factories, industries, 
electricity plants etc., which have made our 
surrounding dirty and polluted.

THERE IS TOO 
MUCH STRESS 
ON SCIENCE 
EDUCATION 
CFhildOren aRre fo rcCed tHo stuIdyL scDienceR fromE prNimary 
classes itself, right from 5th standard. This has 
caused them more pressure than required which 
might have negative impact on their personality 
development during childhood. So it can be said 
that Science education is a curse for children.

SCIENCE HAS 
MADE US LESS 
SPIRITUAL
Science is inclined towards materialistic things and has no 
place for anything related to spirituality, whereas religion 
can be termed as source of knowledge about human life 
which tells people the way they should live. But science 
doesn’t care about our feelings and emotions, it only 
cares about physical world. So it can be said that science 
has deprived humans from their spiritual life, thus making 
them less spiritual.

SCIENCE HAS 
NO PLACE FOR 
LOVE AND 
AFFECTION
Science doesn’t care about our emotions, they only deal 
with physical world and talk about laws of nature such as 
gravity, magnetism etc. which can be proved by 
laboratory experiments or any other means. They don’t 
say anything about the feelings and emotions of a 
person. So it can be said that science tells us nothing 
about how to love someone or how we should behave 
towards our loved ones.
