Misuse knowledge Essay

One of the notable phonograph records I have read is Cats Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut. It is a memorable and meaningful prevail that has a great impact on my personality. I was able to discover many things not barely slightly life, society and history but also ab forth mankind itself. One of the concepts satirized in the book is scientists and the scientific approach as a whole. The book shows perception as a cold and frank entity, one that comes from mans obsession for what Vonnegut argues is fruitless knowledge, as man will only utilize knowledge.It depicts many things and I was able to realize that the book is of great help in learning about science and its relation to people on earth. Aside from the fact that I read the book out of requirement of my English Grade Twelve class, I became personally touched by the story because it highlights how science can be misused against man and cause undesirable consequences. I became more aware of my actions and promised myself to format more importance to science once I become a professional.The book discusses pessimisms in an amplification in mans moral figure but still I view it very differently. For me, it is a precaution of sorts for men and women of science to not seek science for the sake of science itself, but rather for the betterment of man and society as a whole, and how engineers in particular must be responsible with their creations lest it be used against their common man.
