Critical Thinking assignment #6

The topic of my research paper is popular science: Bridging the two cultures. What I am going to show is how science can assist human beings, instead of human beings being paranoid about the future of technology. I would like to show how we can use popular science to our advantage.
"Bridging The Two Cultures" is the title of my first source and the author is Anthony Storr. I found this source using JSTOR. This article tells us how artists and scientists don't really think they need each other and that they have no use for each other. The article shows how wrong they are. The 'spin' that Storr is using is that art and science are hundreds of years old, and they both feel they don't need each other and can make the world a better place by themselves. But, in the article, it shows how much they both use each other to make themselves look better. This adds a tremendous amount of perspective because art and science are both extremely important in our culture, and as much as the artist and scientist feel they can get along without each other, they don't realize how better they make our culture when they work together. "Briding The Two Cultures" fits my research paper topic because I am hoping to show how powerful the world becomes when art, science, and humans all bond together and use these things to our advantage instead of being afraid of them or wanting nothing to do with each other.
The second article I am using is titled "Bridging Research and Practice in the Family and Human Sciences". The author is Stephen A. Small. And again, this comes from JSTOR. This again is showing how science and humans fo not believe they have a need for each other. In this article, science doesn't feel it needs psychology, and psycholgists feel they have no need for science. Small is trying to show how incorrect that is. It adds a lot of perpective because humans in nearly all fields do not want anything to do with science, when in fact, science helps us in all aspects possible, including the internet. Science is made to help our entire planet. That is why this will fit my research paper. And I hope to show how popular science has become, and will be the future of our planet. And humans should embrace this. This will only help us, not endanger us.
