- Title: "Moral Responsibility and Ideological Impacts in Political and Natural Sciences"
- Your Name

Slide 2 - Decontextualization
Akshith
- Briefly introduce the two AoKs: Political Science and Natural Sciences.
- Mention the significance of understanding the impact of ideologies in politics and the moral
implications of scientific discoveries.

Slide 3 - Knowledge Question (Political Science)

Ritu
- Knowledge Question: "Do left-wing ideologies lead to a happier populace?"
- RLSs: Norway & Venezuela

Nishka
- Briefly introduce the RLSs and their relevance to the knowledge question.

Slide 4 - Development (1) for Political Science

Ritu
- Claim: Left-wing ideologies, when implemented effectively, can lead to a happier populace.
- Evidence: Norway's high rankings in global happiness indexes, comprehensive welfare
system, and low inequality.

Nishka
- Counterclaim: Left-wing ideologies, if not managed properly, can lead to economic and social
challenges.
- Evidence: Venezuela's economic crisis, hyperinflation, and political unrest.

Slide 5 - Knowledge Question (Natural Sciences)

Title: Moral Implications in Scientific Discoveries

Knowledge Question:
- "Moral Responsibility in Science?"

Key Points:
1. Nature of Science:
- Quest for understanding
- Groundbreaking discoveries

2. Ethical Dilemma:
- Anticipated vs. Unanticipated consequences
- Originator's responsibility?
Real-Life Situations (RLSs):
1. The Manhattan Project:
- World War II
- First nuclear weapons
- Hiroshima & Nagasaki

2. Internal Combustion Engine:

- Revolution in transportation
- Global connectivity
- Climate change implications

Slide 6 - Development (1) for Natural Sciences

RLS 1: The Manhattan Project

Vaibhav:
Claim:
- Scientists should be held morally responsible for their inventions' societal and environmental
impacts.
Evidence:
- Development of nuclear weapons.
- Bombings of Hiroshima & Nagasaki.

Cherry:
RLS 2: Internal Combustion Engine
Counterclaim:
- Scientists provide foundational knowledge; its application by others leads to consequences.
Evidence:
- Revolutionized transportation and economic growth.
- Environmental challenges: air pollution and global warming.

- Nonw lets consider the very nature of science

- what is it? What is the goal?
- To understand, to better comprehend the real world
- This quest leads to discoveries that can change the course of history
- Consequences, anticipated and completely unforeseen

- Key question. Read: When a scientist makes a discovery, should they bear the moral
responsibility for both the good and the bad outcomes that arise from it? Is the scientist,
as the originator of the discovery, accountable for the ripple effects it creates in society?
- To better understand:
- The prime example would be the Manhattan Project, something i am sure all of
you are aware of. It was initiated during the second world war, leading to the
development of the first nuclear weapons.
 - But beyond the immediate impact, of wiping two cities off the world map,

- The project ushered in the nuclear age, fundamentally altering global geopolitics,
sparking an arms race, and raising ethical dilemmas about the very existence of
such weapons.

But of course the question then arises: Should the scientists, for example Oppenheimer who
perhaps sought to end a war, be held responsible for the long-term implications of their work?

Slide 7 - Conclusion
Ritu
- Synthesize the insights from both AoKs.
Vaibhav
- Emphasize the importance of context, intent, and application in both scenarios.

Slide 8 - Link Back To The RLS

Cherry
- Reiterate the RLSs: Norway, Venezuela, The Manhattan Project, and ICE.

Akshith

- Discuss how the conclusions drawn can be applied to these real-life situations and the broader
implications for society.
