True, but human interaction can be modelled to some extent. Who knows what advances the military has made with science, yet cannot or will not disclose. We could all have jet packs by now, and have a clone of Mischa. Shame. Yes, human interation can be modelled, but there is still an evasion of a critical human dimension. With regard to military technology, advancements in this field might provide armies with greater destructive power and efficiency, but can the development of such military equipment, like an antiballistic-missile defence, address the value of policies such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty? I don't think so.. Haha yeah... to have Mischa clones , but on the other hand, I wouldn't want that.. I'm against cloning Poor Nil walking 2 hours everyday?? Maybe you can do that in a mall while window-shopping or something, it might help take away some of the agony ;D

I don't think so.." Firstly, what is your IQ ? Secondly, what are you doing in education (I'm guessing law, science, or philosophy)? Thirdly, this is what I think in regards to your statement (if I understand it right): "With regard to military technology, advancements in this field might provide armies with greater destructive power and efficiency, but can the development of such military equipment, like an antiballistic-missile defence, address the value of policies such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty?" By this, do you mean that having military defences capable of disarming a nuclear missile is inferior to having worldwide legislation/treaty governing the use of missiles? In my opinion, I wouldn't like to be left with just one. Just having defences against nuclear missiles make a defensive stance and gives the enemies free reign. However, having just legislation and a country like N.Korea nuking you isn't going to help (especially as they reject they treaty). Laws are important, especially regarding the use of nuclear missiles, but relying on them would be a mistake. If society had a say in what the military does, most countries would be in the stone age, I think it is right to shut the public out of most military affairs. It is up to the law to govern what the military does, therefore the law will always be more important than the military. So in a way, there is always a human dimension in the running of the military thanks to democracy, but even so the public have a very limited say on the military. However when the public does have a say, they do in a very big way, mass protests and riots generally let the public have their way. P.S. I may have misinterpreted what you were saying completely, if so, let me know .

:)Haha I have no idea what my IQ is! What's yours? I'm not even sure what I'm intending on studying in university . I'll be taking my 'A' levels this year What are you studying? In uni yet? I don't think you've completely misinterpreted my question, there is some link to it. I think my question was rather ambiguous, so you've just provided me with more food for thought Oh and just in case you've already got a mental image of a half-blind hermit cooping herself up in a high tower, isolated from the rest of the world, I can assure you my life doesn't just revolve around the contemplation of such issues What I meant was that even though science and modern technology endeavour to eradicate the inconveniences in life and succeed to a certain extent in doing so, the approach to science is sometimes so market-driven that we end up exacerbating societal inequity and other social issues (i.e. science failing to encompass that critical human dimension), such that the question of whether our path into the future is to be defined by the mindless, mechanical process of technological evolution and economic expansion begs to be asked. For example, look at controversial scientific advancements such as human embryonic stem cell research and cloning which have precipitated so many ethical/social agonies and irresolvable questions. I suppose to sum it all up, society often attributes to science the ability to solve problems that plague mankind, but I feel that we have to keep in mind that science also has the ability to exacerbate problems, especially social ones, instead of alleviating them, because ultimately, the ability of human beings to achieve a basic measure of human diginity does not depend on advanced technology derived from science. Erm... am I making sense?? Haha.. let me know if it's totally garbled.. I'm not quite coherent right now

Erm... am I making sense?? Haha.. let me know if it's totally garbled.. I'm not quite coherent right now Yes you are making sense. I totally agree with your thoughts as we are always looking to science to fix our problems yet sometimes there can be by-products of these advances which hinder our society. "the ability of human beings to achieve a basic measure of human diginity does not depend on advanced technology derived from science." Yes, but surely with advancements, pride soon follows, and a dignified stand point. If science managed to find a way to cure cancer, and the team was located in your country, your society would be pretty pleased and proud. However being dignified comes with a certain purity, so taking that cancer argument, people would be used in medical trials and could be killed in the process. It is pretty hard to be dignified when a human being is lost in a process. Overall, being dignified doesn't come from science, but science provides a better society in which people can be dignified in. P.S. "Haha I have no idea what my IQ is! What's yours? I'm not even sure what I'm intending on studying in university . I'll be taking my 'A' levels this year What are you studying? In uni yet?" The IQ thing was a compliment . You're not at Uni, so you are at college? Or is it like America where high-school lasts 2 years extra than here. I am at college at the moment studying ICT nearly onto my second and final year.

Blame Monique "Random thought: It's often taken for granted that scientific progress engenders human progress, but don't you all think that societal issues like health care, national defence or even the environment often have a critical human dimension that evades scientific analysis?" *cowers in a corner* Ben & Jerry's rock BTW, Caramel Chew Chew I think it is called, and it rocks.
