To understand how new and emerging scientific discoveries spark fear of the unknown and controversy amongst groups. Scientific advancement requires acceptance of fear and education in order to move forward.
Key Components
Research: We conducted scientific research on the subjects we chose (I chose Kepler-452b) Story: We then created fictional stories based on what we discovered.
Reflection
In this project, I learned how fast science is progressing, however it is often stopped from progressing too much because the fear of the public sets up restrictions. A skill I developed is to look past feeling purely fear at something new and instead how it can help to improve the human race past what we are now. This skill will not only help me with future projects but also the future in general.
