Encouraging young people to study science
These days it is important in for our society to we have good scientists. To get that, young people have to be encouraged to study science so they will make good discoveries in the future. There are certain ways to achieve this.The first one would be advertising. It can show a side face of the science that is not seen in school. Also for young people it is important that they have role models they have. it can be a really good way to make scientists role models. However, it can be difficult to show this side of science and glamorize scientists when everyday there are so many celebrities that have nothing to do with science on the media almost everyday.
Also the role of school is very important. Although science is taught everyday, the way it is taught doesn't make it appealing to students. Changing the method and making it more interesting would avoid the lack of interest that it receives has nowadays. Students can change their way form of seeing science as something strange and very difficult and start to see it as something fun which will help them to understand physics and chemistry and Opening their minds.
My opinion is that relying on advertising and hoping they give more intriguing exposes to science wouldn't be responsible show more scientists and doing more talks about science wouldn't be responsible, because it is known that the advertisement producers oftentimes sometimes only shows what the manager wants them to show, and it could have the opposite impact. On the other hand, Improving school programs may have a better impact on students.
Great job. I agree with you. It is very important that science receives more attention. I think that oftentimes people take for granted that science is getting better and better and they aren't aware of all the hard work that is being done to advance the field. I think that especially in the states, teachers are forced to teach to tests instead of really getting kids excited about the real world applications of their subjects. Sadly, this might just be getting worse. As computers and advanced technologies are becoming more necessary in school to teach upper echelon subjects (computer science, micro biology and etc), more and more intelligent, underprivileged kids are being left behind.
