Knowledge can be found around the world,if we are interested how ever also we can manage to do it financial or other problems cannot be blame that people cannot get knowledge its all self interest plays important role.As part of society im also interest to have my own knowledge I explore myself up as I can.I had an opportunity to study at UNIVERSITY TENAGA NASIONAL in a computer science,Im just going to complete my first semester an I had instructed to do an research on the word science. The word science comes from the Latin "scientia," meaning knowledge. How do we define science?The definition of science is "knowledge attained through study or practice," or "knowledge covering general truths of the operation of general laws." What does that really mean? Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. This system uses observation and experimentation to describe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. Less formally, the word science often describes any systematic field of study or the knowledge gained from it. What is the purpose of science? Perhaps the most general description is that the purpose of science is to produce useful models of reality. Most scientific investigations use some form of the word scientific method. You can find out more about the scientific method here. Science as defined above is sometimes called pure science to differentiate it from applied science, which is the application of research to human needs. Fields of science are commonly classified along two major lines as natural sciences,(the study of the natural world),and social sciences, (the systematic study of human behavior and society).

Before I brief more briefly I would like to tell about what is computer science actually mean of. Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS) is the study of the

theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.Computer scientists invent algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information and formulate suitable abstractions to model complex systems. Computer science has many sub-fields; some, such as computational complexity theory, study the properties of computational problems, while others, such as computer graphics, emphasize the computation of specific results. Still others focus on the challenges in implementing computations. For example, programming language theory studies approaches to describe computations, while computer programming applies specific programming languages to solve specific computational problems, and humancomputer interaction focuses on the challenges in making computers and computations useful, usable, and universally accessible to humans. The general public sometimes confuses computer science with careers that deal with computers (such as information technology), or think that it relates to their own experience of computers, which typically involves activities such as gaming, web-browsing, and word-processing. However, the focus of computer science is more on understanding the properties of the programs used to implement software such as games and web-browsers, and using that understanding to create new programs or improve existing ones

The word science its not a typical word to finish it in one sentence as we talk about science lets we look into the law of science. The laws of science are various established scientific laws, or physical laws as they are sometimes called, that are considered universal and invariable facts of the physical universe. Laws of science may, however, be disproved if new facts or evidence contradicts them. A "law" differs from hypotheses, theories, postulates, principles, etc., in that a law is an analytic statement, usually with an empirically determined constant. A theory may contain a set of laws, or a theory may be implied from an empirically determined law.Moreover there is also principle to say plays an important role in science. The term law is often used to refer to universal principles that describe the fundamental nature of something, to universal properties and relationships between things, or to descriptions that purport to explain these principles and relationships.

Well I have been just difine the term of science and the science laws in the world.Now lets look into the advantage and disadvantage public attitudes toward science.People around us sometimes doesnot really look into thr picture,they talk as what they hear?Is science live in a lot of gossip?Why society do face this problems?As far as i research society dont have a clear picture of science.People lets think properly,if there is no washing machine would the womens survive till now,they will be suffering each and every moment.Although the machine is program into it to work but eventually science has applied into it has a term of law or principle.So this clearly shows that science helps us and also the society to develop the country.Lets we look into each and every accepts to cleary shows the actual advantage and disadvantage. The advantage of science in the mean time is people can manage time well.They does not use much time in doing their works.Nowadays people do work with the help of science.Some people dont no that the science application had been implant in the process.So this brought to an conclusion to say that science does not directly helps to do a work but the knowledge of science had been implant to solve an problem.Human sometimes do argue about faith and science?Actually to say science fully on humans effort where their hardwork results in laws,principle and equation which results into a invention.As like Mr.Howard Aike with is full effort critical thinking he had invent 1st computer named MARK 1. Futhermore people should think that due to science many more medicine have been discover till.People sometime accuse science for discovering some medicine.Clearly shows that each and every medicine is discovered is used to a good purpose,but the person who suppose to use it they misuse the medicine and atlast blame is put on the science.Medicine is been used to safe many people life and have been destroyed many kind of disease which were killing the people.Medicine helps many people with the application of science so science cant be blame at time.As a student I should not blame on science its all people who misuse science,public must change their opinion that science is not something to be scared until they never misused.

Moreover science plays a great role in human daily life.Although our economy had been develop much better but the science field had plays an important role to lead our economy level into success.As an example people must realize the launch of rocket to the outer space had been successfully done by Dr.Sheik Muzafar Shah,he was so brave enough to make our country proud till he sacrifies is soul to succeed in his challenge.without the help of science do the rocket can be discover first of all.Now he is discovering a new medicine for cancer treatment which can fully cure it that was the purpose he went to outer space to conduct an research.As example we cant only says him but there many people as Mr.Newton and Mr.Pascal who developing science,proudly to say that our Malaysians also had join into the program.We also should encourage up coming generation to involve in science rather then wasting their time.

Apart from that, there are also many disadvantages about science and technology. It also includes some disastrous disadvantages which can be a great harm for us. It has such disadvantages which can destroy us and our habitat easily. Its disadvantages have ruined our life and we have become addicted to use it and the more we use it the more its disadvantages effect. It also harms our life expectancy. Sometime the more use of it cause harmful diseases like Brain Tumer, Cancer, and Nerves problem. As the more use of it is done in inventions and discoveries, more its disadvantages arise and harm us.

In addition , science and technology has been responsible for pollution and has given us the nuclear bomb which threatens our very existence. The misuse of science and technology also leads to the pollution and the damaging of the environment. The military force also tend to use science and technology during wars. As mentioned earlier, they use dangerous weapons such as nuclear weapons. In addition, more weapons are created by the military force for using in wars. Other than that, the misuse of science and technology also leads to climate change, this in the future leads to global warming and might danger the life in earth.

As a conclusion, some people might not understand the good use of science and technology. But in this case, the fault lies not with science and technology, but rather with mankind intension to misuse the discoveries of science. Science is not inherently good or evil. It is a way to acquire knowledge properly.
