II. Guide Questions:

1. After reading and understanding, do you believe that it is necessary for every Filipino to
embrace science education? Why or why not? Will it be relevant or not to our daily lives?
Discuss your answer in not more than two paragraphs.

2. As a globally competitive student of CvSU, what can you contribute to improve Science and
Technology? How can you use Science and Technology to come up with a better society?
Answer this question briefly and direct to the point.
Humans gain knowledge, and our activities have evolved since the advent of scientific study. The
term "science" refers to a fact and several types of science. Furthermore, the term "fact" refers to
actual discoveries that only our limited senses can comprehend. Are you walking while standing
or lying when we wake up in the morning or rest in bed? Do you sleep while laying down or
standing up? Given the planet's gravity, it may appear that you are standing when you elevate
your body into the air while your foot is planted, yet we live in Asia, and that continent is positioned
on the face of the world, leading you to believe that you are standing. Do you sleep while laying
down or standing up? When you lift your body into the air while your foot is grounded, it may
appear that you're standing, but we live in Asia, and that content is placed on the face of the
earth, making you imagine that you'll stand sideways, and in fact, we are, but our eyes trick our
perception due to the direction of gravity towards your feet, not convinced? Place your foot on
the wall and believe that everything slides sideways, that gravity switches direction onto the wall
you're now standing on; the same experience will play in your head, and you'll know that your
senses are deceiving you.

This is a wake-up call for those who waste their lives by neglecting what gives their lives
significance. The existence with a feeling of purpose the only way to embrace any form of change
is to change the system. Our nature and education we must renounce the cultural ideals that
govern our lives and focus solely on ourselves. Our identity is defined by our exterior usefulness
and materialism. “Grades" It doesn't matter" is not an excuse for someone who is unable to reach
high academic standards. They do not adhere to stringent rules; they just exist in a system that
preserves everyone's talent. Opened because society has a rigorous technique of maintaining an
unsuccessful system that does not appear to work to crumble because they turned a genius into
a stupid society slave.

It is critical that everyone embraces science education. It is critical to have access to education
by reforming our system, which imposes senseless, commonplace requirements, useless in our
lives and in the context of society. Education must be presented with enthusiasm for learning and
a desire to nourish our curiosity in the same way that we fuel our energies to survive in a humdrum
nothing about human nature is promoted by this system. And why is this significant? The truth is
that could people accept science if we live in a system that is continuously demeaning its citizens?
Our discoveries of nature have rendered us completely unconscious of our own nature; people
should be aware of this. How to be human Our need for knowledge stems from our desire to live
a caring life for others. One's passion as their life's mission, our purpose fires our will to study,
not only does mankind gain information over time, but significant wisdom with an open mind will
be gained as well created as a result of life's experiences, including discovery.

The goal of education is to unlock human brilliance by exposing people to the beauty of the world.
Our nature, and as a result, they will be more thoughtful about their own nature, resulting in to
live a fulfilling life, one must have a passion or a meaning. What we perceive in this world, like
our senses, is not how it is. Humans should work in such a way that the world we live in is just
not the reality of human nature. Simply order in the system that restricts our potential to exist
totally alive. Love of learning entails not just being aware of previous discoveries, but also delving
deeply into the unknown and discovering new ones. The objective fact underlying everything,
you'll be happy to acquire a passion for learning for yourself. It liberates you in all parts of yourself
as you become one and adopt a single life aim.

We cannot change the reality that science and technology have become an integral part of our
existence. The technological revolution has just begun. It is becoming better by the day, and
nearly everything is reliant on it. As an internationally competitive CvSU student, I believe that
the best way to develop science and technology is to learn new things about science and
technology. Collaboration and information exchange - a creative study into a subject that acts as
a direct source of motivation for new technical possibilities. I will be able to contribute and apply
my expertise from my Science and Technology program by producing unique concepts. Because
the principles and goals of the innovation were shared, society will benefit.
