Science is not a menace to civilization

Science is not a menace to civilization. On the contrary, science itself is a part of civilization.
Referring to civilization, we must first be familiar with the definition of it. A civilization is a society or culture group normally defined as a complex society characterized by the practice of agriculture and settlement in cities. But in reality, a civilization is not that simple, it is actually comprised of many cultural conventions and spirits and everything that civilians create. To some extent, it is a unique unit that differs from other cultures. All civilians under the civilization uphold their peculiar spirit and their common identity. Once a civilization becomes extinct, the whole group of people would vanish forever, or they have changed another completely unfamiliar way of life.
So, as science is counted to be a kind of creation by human beings, it is a part of a civilization. I fully agree the perspective that science is like any other invention of mankind. As the development of human’s society, the presence of science is inevitable. Even if the form of science did not come as we expected, another alternative would come instead of the presence of science because it has been an overwhelming tide for such kind of “invention” to come out.
Science itself is innocent. Everything can be used for good or for evil. Let’s raise a simplest example on diamond. Diamond is resplendent and dazzling. If we intend to make good use of it, it could be the hardest substance in the world that have ever explored; it can make a penniless vagrant change into a millionaire suddenly; it can be polished and embellished into a invaluable diamond ring which represents the permanent love and gifted to the one you love. Nevertheless, it can also cause murder, assassination and blackmail, such evil crime to become “blood diamond”. Though the simple example, we can deduce that science is now trapped into the same embarrassing situation as “diamonds ’do. The reason why a lot of people condemn the failures of science is because it is used for evil more than good. We must not only see the hindrance that science has made, there is still good and benefits that it has brought us, especially for civilization. The internet actually brings us a more convenient gateway to communicate with each other, even for two persons who are millions miles away from each other.
