Science and technology have a significant impact on virtually every element of human
activity. Several suggestions about human existence have been provided to humanity by
scientific and technological inventions and discoveries, such as the theory of the origin of the
universe, the theory of evolution, and the discovery of DNA. These suggestions are based on
civilized and cultural perspectives on human existence. Incalculable influence has been achieved
by science and technology to form our worldview, viewpoint on society, and our perspective on
the natural environment. The innumerable technological and scientific achievements that
humanity has produced have aided the growth of each civilization, spurred economic expansion,
raised living standards, and stimulated cultural development, among other things. Politics,
diplomacy, defense, the economy, healthcare, transportation, agriculture, social capital
improvement, and other aspects of modern society are all influenced by science and technology
in some way. Science and technology's fruits can be found everywhere. Science has an impact on
society by the knowledge and worldview it provides. Scientists' knowledge and the processes
they employ to conduct their research have an impact on the way many people in society think
about themselves, other people, and the environment. Technology has an impact on society
through the products and processes it creates. In many cases, technological advancements are
accompanied by corresponding social, political, and economic shifts, which can be either
advantageous or damaging to individuals and society. The direction of technical development is
influenced by the requirements, attitudes, and values of society. Developing a knowledge of the
ways in which social, cultural, and material factors impact the formation of new practices, new
ways of understanding, and new institutions is critical to our understanding of contemporary
postmodern society.

2. Even in the beginning, science and technology have been critical in reacting to the COVID-19
pandemic and the ensuing severe socio-economic disaster. Science, technology, and innovation
are critical during this period of crisis associated with the coronavirus illness (COVID-19), not
only for addressing present health concerns but also for assisting production activities targeted at
economic recovery following the pandemic. The role of science, technology, and innovation in
this pandemic, and the policies and institutions that support them, are not confined to illness
prevention or treatment. Apart from that, individuals have acclimated to their new regular ways
of life. Video conferencing has been ingrained in our lives as a result of science and technology.
Many science, space, and technology organizations around the world have been afflicted by the
COVID-19 pandemic, which has resulted in decreased production in a variety of sectors and
activities. However, it has resulted in the establishment of various new research funding lines in
a variety of governmental organizations around the world. It is possible that the epidemic has
improved scientific communication or has developed new forms of communication. For
example, a large amount of data is being made available on preprint servers and is being
examined on social media platforms and, occasionally, in the news media before it is submitted
to formal peer review. Scientists publish manuscripts and data faster because they review, revise,
analyze, and publish them more swiftly. It is possible that the intense communication among
scientists resulted in an unusually high degree of collaboration and efficiency.

3. Yes, the conservation of indigenous culture and tradition aids in preserving and protecting a
nation's identity. It provides us with a specific link to the past – to specific societal ideals, beliefs,
practices, and traditions – which enables us to identify with others and strengthens our sense of
solidarity, belonging, and national pride. Our government may contribute to the preservation of
our culture and tradition by improving the rights and privileges of our culturally diverse brothers
and sisters. Morals, ideas, and aspirations are all embodied in culture and its history. They
contribute to the formation of a nation's national identity. It is critical for the preservation of our
cultural heritage in order to keep our national identity. The importance of cultural heritage is not
found in the manifestations of culture themselves. Preservation of our cultural history is vital
because it ensures that we retain our identity as a people. While the cultural manifestation itself
is crucial, the wealth of information and skills that are handed from one generation to the next
through intangible cultural heritage is even more significant. The preservation of our cultural
heritage is critical to the maintenance of our human identities. These unique points of view are
essential preserving because, if we can learn from them, they can assist us in finding solutions to
our issues. By placing oneself in another person's shoes, we might learn to empathize with them
and see different perspectives. Another method of preserving culture and tradition is to maintain
continuous communication with family and friends. After a while, you begin to feel at ease and
comfortable in your new surroundings, and you begin to lose touch with people you used to
know.

4. One way in moving forward amidst this global pandemic that we are experiencing is to double
the efforts of our government to test, trace and vaccinate. Only by achieving herd immunity can
we go forth and continue outliving the pandemic. Otherwise, we would always have to choose
between the dilemma of opening our economy for national growth or risking the lives of our
people. As the world grapples with the devastating health, economic, and social consequences of
the COVID-19 epidemic, emerging countries are putting themselves at a greater danger of being
hit by the global shock. Developing countries are in a challenging position to respond to and
recover from natural disasters because they have limited resources and inadequate capacity to
implement preventative measures, maintain their economy, and deal with external shocks. The
severe economic, social, and sustainable development implications that they are confronting
have the potential to reverse decades of development gains and put efforts to attain Sustainable
Development in even greater jeopardy. It is critical to assist developing countries in meeting
their most urgent requirements and addressing their most pressing priorities in the current crisis
through collaborative efforts at the sub-regional, regional, and even inter-regional levels. A
country's response to a pandemic can be divided into two broad methods: preventive and
mitigation strategies. A country implements preventive tactics to try to prevent the breakout of a
disease, whereas mitigating strategies are those implemented in order to assist in controlling the
spread of disease after an outbreak has occurred. The tactics can be further classified into two
types: those that are effective and those that are ineffective, depending on their level of success.

5. According to Aristotle in the first phase of his Nicomachean Ethics' first book: "All we seek is
the excellent life as the highest good." For him, the purpose of life is to have a decent life. For
this reason, his philosophy places a premium on the pursuit of happiness. According to Aristotle,
the good life is happy because happiness, he maintains, is an end in itself. Aristotle proposes a
philosophy of the good life, also known as eudaimonia, for humans in the Nichomachean Ethics.
Perhaps the best translation of Eudaimonia is flourishing or living well and doing well. As a
result, when Aristotle refers to the good life as the pleasant life, he does not suggest that the good
life consists solely of happiness or amusement. Rather than that, a person's good life is defined as
an active life in which they perform optimally in those aspects that are important and distinctive
to humans. Aristotle asserts that we do not require anything else if we have happiness,
establishing its inherent value. By contrast, items like money or power are extrinsic assets
because they all serve a purpose. Generally, ideas on the nature and conditions of happiness
differ. Aristotle argues that while 'pleasant amusements' satisfy his formal criteria for the good
because they are chosen for their own sake and are complete in themselves, they do not
constitute the good life because "it would be absurd if our end were amusement and we labored
and suffered our entire lives for the sake of amusement." A tangible illustration of living "the
good life" is developing a close friendship bond. Human beings, according to Aristotle, are
intrinsically sociable; thus, the good life cannot be lived as a hermit, a recluse, or a misanthrope.
They should be treated with respect by others.
