Science is defined as an organized, systematic, and methodical activity of building and organizing knowledge about how the universe behaves through observation, experimentation, or both
Technology is the application of scientific knowledge, laws, and principles to produce services, materials, tools, and machines aimed at solving real-world problems
Society is a large group of people who live together in an organized way, making decisions about how to do things and sharing the work that needs to be done
Science drives technology by making new technology possible through scientific breakthroughs
Engineers focus on using science to develop products
Science, Technology & Society (STS) is a field that combines History of Science, Philosophy of Science, and Sociology of Science
Without technology, some science experiments would not be possible
Without science, technology could not proceed
STS studies how social, political, and cultural values affect scientific research and technological innovation, and how this, in turn, affects society, politics, and culture
STS applies methods drawn from history, philosophy, and sociology to study the nature of science and technology and ultimately judge their value and place in society
STS seeks to bridge the gap between humanities and social sciences to better confront the moral, ethical, and existential dilemmas brought by the continued developments in science and technology
