Science is almost as old as time itself. Ancient people had been learning through new things they discover. It has given great commodities for the new generation and upcoming ones too.

Various religious organizations assail most of the scientific principles provided by the few talented scientists. This has been a never ending cycle between societies even though it is undeniable that science, more than anything, has given a lot of outstanding contributions to daily living of most people.

Probably there are still people who can’t acknowledge this growing improvement because of their indulgence in the country or traditional way of living. Although in the schools all over the nation, from primary to secondary, it has been practiced to teach the students the know-how’s of science and such. Newton’s three laws of motion is like a simple phrase for most elementary school kids and what more do the secondary students know.

There are promising students who can understand more than what they’re taught and they are labeled by the society as ‘prodigies’. Students of such level are amazing in anyways possible. They are complimented aplenty and given much credit because of their talents and skills in science while on the other hand society is also the one who pressure them with insults and contradictions.

Ironic as it is, the pros and anti’s are the same people with less standing. Acceptance, a very fundamental trait needed for all of us. We can’t deny the fact that science, episteme as known in ancient Greek, has in every way helped the world and its people.
