...Development is required in every individual to every nation in all aspects and for development to happen, science and technology go hand in hand. Basically science is known as the study of knowledge, which is made into a system and depends on analysing and understanding facts. Technology is basically the application of this scientific knowledge. For any successful economy, particularly in today’s quest for knowledge based economies, science, technology and engineering are the basic requisites. If nations do not implement science and technology, then the chances of getting themselves developed becomes minimal and thus could be even rated as an undeveloped nation. Science and Technology is associated in all means with modernity and it is an essential tool for rapid development. Modernization in every aspect of life is the greatest example of the implementation of science and technology in every nation. With the introduction of modern gadgets in every walk of life, life has become simple and this is possible only because of implementing science and technology together. Without having modern equipment’s in all sectors, be it in medicines, infrastructure, aviation, electricity, information technology or any other field, the advancement and benefits that we face today would not have been possible. A nation who is not able to prosper on these grounds would never be able to sustain the lives there and may have to solely depend on other nations for the basic requirements. Such is the...

...and technological developments. The development of science and technology, comes hand in hand with the debate whether society should allow and use religion to control the research and development that is happening. Many see the involvement of religion in the development of science and technology as a positive thing, believing that it helps us to reach the most moral and safest outcome, however others would disagree with this and argue that allowing religion to control the development of both scientific and technology, will not allow people to think rationally and look at each situation independently and could lead to people making the wrong decision in life, but the right decision in the eyes of religion, which may not always be best. Those who would be in favour of society allowing religion to control scientific and technological developments, would argue that in history, religion has always had a great involvement in the development of science and technology and society used to turn to religion to help them make moral decisions. When considering embryo research, Doctor Jarmulowitz – 1999 said “it has always been accepted in British law that the earliest human embryo should be treated with respect and accorded a special status.” Although there is no law against embryonic research in the UK, each experimentation has to follow certain ethical guidelines, some say that this in a way is allowing religion to control scientific and technological developments. The British law, reinforces...

...TECHNOLOGY AND SOCIETY Technology is a very powerful force in our world today. It helps us to produce more food than before, constructing building and houses are faster by modern tools, effective in communication with better signal and wider covered areas, travel to anywhere in the world and so on. Human would have a wonderful world if technologies do not frequently have negative side effects. However, just because technology is indispensable in solving problems and brings human to a better future, societies have decided not to abandon technology but to develop, shape and take it to the right direction. Thus, there is always a relationship between technology and society. Technology is an object created by man to assist in achieving some goal. "A technology is a body of human knowledge that can be passed along from one place to another and from one generation to the next" (Web). Technology is the human seek for solutions and the human process of applying resources to satisfy our wants and needs to survive, and subsequently this process is used by society to solve problems and extend our capabilities . Nowadays, technology is everywhere around us and it is seem to be invisible because it is so user friendly and even people using it may not realize that. "Technology has changed the world and the ways of society. Many inventions, discoveries and developments of technique have influenced society" . The influenced society issues are examined from the...

...Science On the question of science, participants on various occasions referred to some of the misunderstandings surrounding this concept. It was repeatedly mentioned that, notwithstanding general agreement among development planners and practitioners about the crucial role that science has to play in development, many lacked a common understanding of its nature or the ways in which it can contribute to the wellbeing of the masses of humanity. As the discourse evolved over several years, many of these misconceptions were brought to light. Some of them are as follows: First, the practice of science is all too often reduced to the mere application of technology. What is lost sight of is the fact that science is a system of knowledge and practice that provides the methods and tools for the systematic and structured exploration of material and social reality. By asking questions about reality and seeking to answer them through a process of action, reflection and consultation, a population acquires the capacity to take charge of its own development and to promote the advancement of civilization. Due to the existing misrepresentation of the role of science in development, attention is focused on making people passive consumers of technology rather than on building their scientific capacity. Development Development as a concept is a victim of definitional pluralism. It is a difficult word to define. However, attempts have been made by erudite scholars to conceptualize development...

E-mail: gazi.alam@um.edu.my. Tel: +6037967 5077. Fax + 603-7967 5010. Accepted 25 September, 2009 Education is supposed to play a vital role for the development of a nation. Many countries made progression through education. Nevertheless, some of them also failed to retain the development achieved since these countries failed to supply required skilled workforce for emerging economics caused by globalization and rapid change of economic pattern. This now forces policymakers to prioritize the production of skilled manpower that can contribute for sustainable development. The countries that achieved sustainable development have given a high priority to science and technology education in formulating education policy. Bangladesh has no more alternatives in order to gain development, except properly utilizing its population. Bangladesh’s economy and human development could have grown faster than its actual progression in the last 25 years (that is, since independence in 1971), if it had earlier taken substantial steps in educational development. This paper has defined a ‘network age population’ for Bangladesh. This paper also suggests that this population is required to provide science and technology based education with...

...powerful weapons known to man for reducing poverty and inequality in modern societies. It is also used for laying the foundation for a sustainable growth and development of any nation. Education is a vital instrument in development; the National Policy on Education (1998) refers to it as an instrument "par excellence" for effecting national development. President Obasanjo’s government initiated a 10-year plan for Nigeria which will provided a framework for the future development of education in support of Nigeria’s national aspiration to be among the 20 top world economies by the year 20:20. Education has an immense impact on the human society. One can safely assume that a person is not in the proper sense till he is educated. It trains the human mind to think and take the right decision. In other words, man becomes a rational animal when he is educated. It is through education that knowledge and information is received and spread throughout the world. An uneducated person cannot read and write and hence he is closed to all the knowledge and wisdom he can gain through books and other mediums. Education constitutes the core of human development. It opens up opportunities for both individual and group empowerment. It is a vital tool for transformation and the key to the sustainable development of a nation. Human capacity development anchored on strong learning systems is central to the attainment of Vision 20:20-20. Education is the most crucial instrument for empowering young people...
