| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. |
|---|
| Summary, etc. |
Those who must deal with scientific and technological issues-scientists, politicians, sociologists, business managers, and anyone who is concerned about energy policy, genetically modified foods, government intrusiveness, expensive space programs, or the morality of medical research, among many other issues-must be able to consider, evaluate, and choose among alternatives. Making choices is an essential aspect of the scientific method. It is also an inescapable feature of every public debate over a scientific or technological issue, for there can be no debate if there are no alternatives. The ability to evaluate and to select among alternatives-as well as to know when the data do not permit selection-is called critical thinking. It is essential not only in science and technology but in every other aspect of life as well. Taking Sides: Clashing Views in Science, Technology, and Society is designed to stimulate and cultivate this ability by holding up for consideration issues that have provoked substantial debate. Each of these issues has at least two sides, usually more. However, each issue is expressed in terms of a single question in order to draw the lines of debate more clearly. The ideas and answers that emerge from the clash of opposing points of view should be more complex than those offered by the students before the reading assignment. |
