This document discusses axiology and values from several perspectives. It begins by defining ethics, aesthetics, and values. It then discusses how values have changed from being seen as absolute in traditional societies to being more relative and reflective of different cultures today. Four modern western philosophies - idealism, realism, pragmatism, and existentialism - are presented with their views on whether values are absolute or relative. The document also discusses the social responsibility of scientists and their roles in analyzing problems, providing perspectives, persuading society, and being examples. Key characteristics of scientists are described as well. Later sections discuss nuclear technology, genetic revolution, and cloning and head transplantation.

8. Nuclear
Nuclear technology uses the energy released by splitting the atoms of certain
elements. It was first developed in the 1940s, and during the Second World
War to 1945 research initially focused on producing bombs by splitting the
atoms of particular isotopes of either uranium or plutonium.
In the 1950s attention turned to the peaceful purposes of nuclear fission,
notably for power generation. Today, the world produces as much
electricity from nuclear energy as it did from all sources combined in the
early years of nuclear power. Civil nuclear power can now boast over
16,000 reactor years of experience and supplies almost 11.5% of global
electricity needs, from reactors in 31 countries. In fact, through regional
grids, many more than those countries depend on nuclear-generated power.

9. Genetic Revolution
Science and technology continues to evolve, there
have been many things that have been found by the
scientists. In the past the scientist still make the
nature as the object but now scientist try to make the
human as an object to find the new one
Genetic revolution is the a new scene in the history
of human science because before this science never
touches the man as an object of study itself
