are we spoiling our nature through scientific progress

Are we spoiling our nature in the name of scientific progress

Well.., its a controversial question to ask are we spoiling nature ,because it does both good and bad to us.

but the way scientific progres or research has affected nature is gruesome .In the name of scientific progress we Human beings are going away from our responsibilities as a citizen and using our environment for our selfish motives .By introducing various technologies for our purposes , as a citizen we are failing to protect our environment and degarding it for our personal purposes. It is pity to know that we human beings look for our temporary gains but neglect our long run needs by destroying it and leaving no good environment for our future generations .

We have acheived tremendous progress in the field of nuclear power by creating high technology weapons and advancements. But if we handn't used nuclear weapons in a cruel manner ,disastrous events like Hiroshima and Nagasaki wouldn't have happened. Use of these nuclear weapons might have been just for few mintues ,but its effect is seen for centuries and still generations of human life,plant and animal life are facing problems. Scientific progress has also lead to various new kinds of disease like scar ,anthrax,swineflu few of them to mention. But as it goes a coin has two sides, similarly scientific research has done a lot good to us . It is due to the scientific progress only that we are leading such a luxurious life.

Scientific progress affecting the environment doesn't mean actual progress. It must be enchanced in right direction and measures must be taken such that any scientific research doesnt have drastic effect on environment. It instead of degrading the nature it should strength the environment and strive to have a better tomorrow .
