"Science is simply common sense at its best"
Thomas Huxley~
Science has many definitions but is often perceived as the human effort to understand the history of the natural world and how the natural world works. Science is broken down into two key components being the study of natural science and the philosophy of science. Natural science is distinctly known as biology, chemistry, physics and the study of the earth. The philosophy of science is concerned with the assumptions, foundations, and implications of science.
Everyone at one point or another studies science. Whether it is in public school, university or everyday life. The problem is humanity only gives recognition to a certain amount of individuals who have either made a profession by teaching science, or are famous philosophers. It is impossible to pin point one group of citizens or an individual because numerous people study science.
Even though science has a long history in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, it is unquestionable that modern science emerged in Western Europe. (American scholar| January 1st, 1977, Grant Edward) The reason for this momentous conclusion is Western Europe had a tremendous knowledge of science that separated Western culture from other contemporary societies. Even though humanity has apparent evidence that the establishment of science began in Western Europe philosophers believe science began when mankind wondered how/why anything is the way it is.
Science is one of the most influential tools know to society. Science is vital and crucial to civilization because it allows humanity to solve unknown questions with solid facts. Science provides humans skills to analyze and think logically. Everything humans do has a connection to science, whether it be driving your car or typing on a computer. Basically without science the human race would die.
