Science, technology and society (STS) studies how society, politics, and culture influence scientific research and technological innovation, and vice versa. The document discusses the definitions of science, technology, and society. It then provides examples of early science and technology developed to address problems of transportation, navigation, communication, record keeping, security, health, and engineering in ancient times. Transportation, navigation, communication, and record keeping were especially important for discovering new places and documenting trade between groups.

The document discusses various challenges and strategies for effectively communicating science to the public. It argues that communicating science faces difficulties from political and economic pressures, but can inspire people by making scientific concepts tangible and relatable to human experiences. It also stresses the importance of balancing scientific rigor with accessibility and of involving both professional and amateur scientists in communication efforts.

The document discusses several key topics in cultural geography:
1. Cultural landscapes represent the built and natural environments shaped by human cultures, ranging from primitive to modern. Religious traditions often influence cultural landscapes.
2. Culture hearths were centers of early civilizations where innovations spread outward, changing other cultures. Major ancient hearths included Egypt and societies in Latin America like the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans.
3. Cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural traits from their source to other areas through expansion, relocation, or hierarchical diffusion. America's pastime of baseball diffused globally through expansion diffusion.

Anthropology emerged in Europe during the Era of Imperialism. Key figures in the early development of anthropology include Charles Darwin, who proposed the theory of evolution; Edward Tylor, who argued that all societies progressed through the same stages of cultural evolution; and Franz Boas, who rejected the idea that genetic differences explained cultural variation. Henry Otley Beyer is considered the Father of Philippine Anthropology and introduced the Migration Theory.

Cultural Anthropology And Cultural Diversity
Cultural anthropology seeks to understand human culture and societies through comparative and holistic study. It examines how cultures form and are expressed through various aspects of human life like beliefs, languages, arts, politics, and economics. Cultural anthropologists use ethnographic fieldwork and cross-cultural comparisons to understand both individual cultures and common patterns in human social and cultural development. The concept of culture is complex, and anthropologists debate how best to define and study it.

Cultural Appropriation In Anthropology
Cultural anthropology examines how humans interact with their environment for survival. This document discusses Jamaica, noting that its culture historically involved farming, hunting, fishing and cattle raising under British colonial rule. It transitioned to industry and tourism as its dominant economic sectors. Jamaica has a tropical climate with environmental stresses like hurricanes and poverty that impact many citizens' ability to subsist.
Social Science
The document summarizes key concepts in social science, including definitions of history, economics, psychology, archaeology, anthropology, political science, and sociology. It then discusses theories on the origin of society, including conflict theory, structural-functional theory, and symbolic interaction theory. Finally, it outlines the evolution of humans from early hominids like Homo habilis to Homo sapiens, and the major periods in human prehistory such as the Paleolithic, Neolithic, Copper, Bronze, and Iron Ages.

The document provides an overview of the emergence of social science disciplines. It begins by listing key social science fields such as economics, anthropology, history, political science, geography, linguistics and sociology. It then presents a pre-test with multiple choice questions that assess understanding of the historical foundations of these disciplines. The answers identify disciplines such as anthropology as the study of human life and culture, geography as the study of physical features and human activity on earth, economics as initially the study of household resource allocation, history as the study of past events, and linguistics as the study of language. The document concludes by defining social science as a branch of science dealing with human behavior and its social and cultural aspects.
week 2 UCSP.pptx
The document discusses concepts, aspects, and changes in culture and society. It covers major elements of culture like symbols, language, norms, values, and artifacts. It also discusses cultural groups including communities, people, ethnic groups, societies, and civilizations. The document then discusses mechanisms of change in society through processes of discovery, invention, and diffusion. It provides examples of different types of societies from pre-industrial to industrial to post-industrial. Finally, it discusses some cultural trends that have been observed in the Philippines and provides a performance task on discussing how the pandemic has changed culture and society.
Cultural Turns
Culture can be defined as the shared knowledge, beliefs, and habits that people learn as members of society. It includes both material and non-material aspects like customs, art, and language. While some aspects of culture seem natural, they are largely learned and influenced by one's social environment. Cultural traits are passed down between generations through enculturation and are constantly evolving as new ideas are adopted or old ones are abandoned based on their usefulness to society.
Midterm Summative Test part 2 for STS Prelim
This document contains a summative test with multiple choice, enumeration, true/false questions about science and technology topics. It covers contributions of scientists like Darwin, Copernicus, and Filipino scientists. It also addresses indigenous knowledge, cradles of civilization, schools in the Philippines, and goals of Spanish expeditions. True/false questions test understanding of concepts like the relationship between science and technology, uses of indigenous knowledge, and the development of the Philippines during Spanish colonization.
Importance of history
The document discusses the importance of studying history. Studying history helps one understand why their current environment and situations exist by providing context about their ancestors, culture, and society. It also allows people to learn from the mistakes and successes of the past to build a better future. Additionally, studying history preserves the ideas and discoveries of influential historical figures and prevents important knowledge from being lost. Understanding history provides the foundation for studying many modern subjects and allows societies to develop more efficiently by learning from the governing practices of the past.
Years of Dialogue of Civilizations (Calendars)
The need to put time into good order appeared at the dawn of human history. Without this, neither public, nor economic, nor religious life of any people would make sense. For believers throughout the world, the calendar is a visible manifestation of the triumph of order over chaos. The majestic constancy in the movements of the heavenly bodies and the mysterious and irreversible march of time are an indication of the rational structure of the world.

Cross-cultural analysis examines differences between cultures and aims to improve communication and understanding. It originated in the 19th century but has evolved from viewing cultures as evolving through stages to recognizing that all humans have the ability to classify experiences, think symbolically, and communicate abstractions. Major contributors developed theories drawing from fields like anthropology, sociology, communication, and psychology. Models analyze dimensions like individualism-collectivism and power distance to distinguish cultures, though critics argue models overly simplify and do not account for variations within nations.

3 Characteristics Of A Civilization
The document discusses early civilizations that developed around rivers in fertile valleys. It describes how hunter-gatherer societies in Mesopotamia transitioned to farming along the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers by 3000 BCE, forming several city-states, notably Sumer. Egypt is also discussed, with the annual Nile River floods depositing fertile silt and enabling the development of a unified civilization under King Menes around 3100 BCE. Surplus grain from agriculture allowed societies to support non-farmers and fund public works projects like the Great Pyramids of Giza. Overall, the document outlines how early humans in river valleys progressed from hunter-gatherers to establishing some of the first major civilizations in Mes

Chapter 2 culture
This document discusses key concepts related to culture and society. It defines culture as the totality of learned behaviors and beliefs shared by a group of people. A society consists of people who share a common culture and heritage. All societies exhibit certain cultural universals, or practices that meet essential human needs. While cultural practices are universal, how they are expressed varies across cultures. The document also discusses concepts like ethnocentrism, cultural relativism, norms, values, and the role of language and symbols in shaping culture.

"We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native language. The categories and types that
we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer
in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscope flux of impressions which
has to be organized by our minds — and this means largely by the linguistic systems of our
minds. We cut nature up, organize it into concepts, and ascribe significances as we do, largely
because we are parties to an agreement to organize it in this way— an agreement that holds
throughout our speech community and is codified in the patterns of our language […] all
observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless
their linguistic backgrounds are similar, or can in some way be calibrated.”
Ex. the idea of empty was equated with safe for these people when in fact the empty containers

◦He learned the local language and talked to people
◦He stayed a long time and participated in the everyday life of people
◦He learned their technologies and way of life
◦He defended Inuit way of life as logical,reasonable and deserving respect

This document discusses how technology has changed the human condition. It begins by explaining the objectives and introducing the topic of comparing life before and after technology. It then describes some ways life was different before things like science, such as people attributing events to different gods and using basic tools. Next, it talks about how the human condition changed in the Common Era with the onset of hunting, farming, and profit. Some notable comparisons between time periods include decreased mortality rates and increased lifespans and literacy rates due to technology. While technology has improved conditions for many, it is also argued that relying too heavily on technology can cause humans to lose sight of non-economic values.

The document discusses different perspectives on the self, including:
1) The Western self is described as individualistic, viewing the individual as independent with unique personality, beliefs, and attitudes.
2) It is also described as materialistic and rationalistic, favoring empirical approaches and placing importance on material goods and wealth.
3) The analytic view of the self involves separating it into component parts through critical thinking, data analysis, problem-solving and other cognitive skills.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 2. WHAT IS STS Science and technology studies, or science, technology and society studies is the study of how society, politics, and culture affect scientific research and technological innovation and how these, in turn, affect society, politics and culture.
- 3. SCIENCE From the Latin word “scientia” (knowledge)
- 4. Any systematic knowledge or practice.
- 5. The human attempt to understand the natural world, with or without concern for practical uses of that knowledge.
- 7. SCIENCE tries to discover facts and relationships and then tries to create theories that make sense of these facts and relationships.
- 8. TECHNOLOGY
- 9. CAME FROM TWO GREEK WORDS: • “TECHNE” means skill, craftsmanchip and art • “LOGOS” means reason
- 10. The human attempt to change the world.
- 13. •SCIENCE explores for the purpose of knowing. •Technology explores for the purpose of making something useful from that knowledge.
- 14. SOCIETY A large group of people who live together in an organized way. All the people in a country, or in several similar countries, can be referred as a society.
- 16. CHAPTER 1 HISTORICAL ANTECEDENTS IN THE COURSE OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
- 17. ANCIENT TIMES PROBLEMS. TRANSPORTATION AND NAVIGATION COMMUNICATION RECORD KEEPING SECURITY AND PROTECTION HEALTH ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERING
- 18. TRANSPORTATION is significant during that time because people were trying to go to places and discover new horizons. They travelled to search food and find better place locations for their settlements. NAVIGATION assisted them to their journeys to unfamiliar and strange areas in the world. It allowed them to return home after they discovered new places or completed an important trade with another group of people.
- 19. COMMUNICATION was also essential in their endeavors to discover and occupy new places. They need a way to communicate with the natives of the areas they visited.
- 20. RECORD-KEEPING was also important since they needed to remember the places they had been to and document the trades they made with each other. It was also vital to keep records of their history and culture.
- 21. WEAPONS and ARMORS were important as well in the discovery new places or the establishment of new alliances with other tribes. At the time, there was always a risk of conflict when people met others with other tribes.
- 22. CONSERVATION OF LIFE. The early people might have been successful in harnessing the rich resources that the world could provide, but their survival posed a great problem. Different illnesses and diseases, both natural and man- made.
