Category 1: Lets GO Social
1. Technology is the direct application of science, It DOES imply political /social values.
Bluff.Technology is the direct application of science, It DOES NOT imply any political or social
values. What made it biased is the motive of the people in applying a particular technology
and the end to which it is used.

2. Scientists DO NOT hold responsibility either for the harmful effects of the products ofscience or to what use such products are being imposed.
Fact. Such judgments are being made by SOCIETY as a whole and scientists do not play an
important role in these decisions.
3. The process of technological change is very much linked to innovation.
Fact.A lot of things are invented but it is only through innovation that technology has evolved
and changed the society.
Category 2: According to History
1 The neutrality (state of being neutral) of science was shaken by the outbreak of WORLDWAR II.
Bluff. They aim to forestall the entry of fascism , which poses a threat to the freedom of
inquiry and to the survival of science.
2 SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY also played an important role in military and non-militaryaspects during WW II.
Fact.Since the early stages of the war, scientists made a vital contributions from the
invention of radar to the creation of atomic bomb, code name Manhattan project.
3 Since the early stages of the war, scientists made a vital contributions from the inventionof radar to the creation of atomic bomb, code name Manhattan project.
Fact.It was taken as a maxim by leading politicians that a nations power to prosper in
peace, survived in war, and command the respect of its neighbors depend largely on its
degree of scientific and technological advancement.

Category 3: Scientific Community
1. According to Lakatos, a theory can be rejected even when there is no rival theory to replace itas long as the evidence that the theory is rejectable beyond reasonable doubt..
Bluff.According to Imre Lakatos, a theory is REJECTED ONLY when there is a rival theory to
replace it. He introduced a new criterion for judging the superiority of a theory. It must provide
a progressive problem shift that is, it must not only resolve problems but extend the
problem horizon.
2. TECHNOLOGICAL DETERMINISMbelief that technology causes HARM TO the society
Bluff.TECHNOLOGICAL DETERMINISMbelief that technology causes Changes the society
- Technological advancement determines social and cultural changes
3. In the Scientific community, participants are free to choose and pursue research topics thatthey are interested on.
Bluff.In the Scientific community, participants are expected, indeed are constrained to pursue
research topics on the basis of their scientific significance.
Round 2: Scrambled letters or words
Instructions: In round two called Scrambled letters or words, 2 groups of players individuallyanswer questions provided with scrambled words in 5 seconds. Each correct answer will be given 2
points otherwise 1 point will be given to the other group.

Ans.TECHNOCRACY
2. SALAKOT-his methodology of scientific research program elaborated a sophisticated
falsificationism, within which scientists live with anomalies - that falsity established theories.
Ans. LAKATOS According to Lakatos Theory, a theory is rejected only when there is a rival theory
to replace it. He introduced a new criterion for judging the superiority of a theory. It must provide a
progressive problem shift that is, it must not only resolve problems but extend the problem
horizon.
3. PPOPRE-The theory of the progress of knowledge. theories are attempts to produce solutions to
a problem. Who formulated this theory?
Ans.POPPER
POPPERS Theory of Progressive Knowledge-The conditions of survival are set by the objectiveproblem, and in Poppers perspective, the fittest theory for survival is not a theory which answers
some purpose, but the theory which is nearest to the truth.
Round 3: Final Destination
Instructions: In round three called Final Destination, the remaining group will answer one question
provided with choices. They will be given 30 seconds to answer. The bluffers will give their

divided.

Political Characteristics of Science and Technology:Science and Technology possess certain
characteristics that would bring change to politics for the better good. Name those five (5).
Choices:
CONCERN WITH FACTS, OBJECTIVITY AND LOGICAL APPROACH TOPROBLEMS
BELIEF THAT ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED BELIEF THAT SCIENCE IS SUPERIOR OVER GOVERNMENT USE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD HIGH DESIRE FOR OBJECTIVITY AND SIMPLE RATIONALITY FEAR TO COMPROMISE
Ans.
CONCERN WITH FACTS, OBJECTIVITY AND LOGICAL APPROACH TOPROBLEMS
BELIEF THAT ALL PROBLEMS CAN BE SOLVED USE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD HIGH DESIRE FOR OBJECTIVITY AND SIMPLE RATIONALITY FEAR TO COMPROMISE
It has been suggested that the entry of scientists and technologists into the political
arena would change the character of politics for the better, because they possess certain
characteristics, namely:
1. develop certain habits of mind which give them a keen concern with facts, objectivityand logical approach to problem solving;
2. apt to believe that all problems have solutions;
3. likely to approach all questions with a concern for rigorous definition , for theacquisition of relevant information and for the development of a course of action or of
alternatives because of their training in the scientific method;
4. may turn impatient because of the high desire for objectivity and simple rationality;5. reluctant to compromise.

KUHNS THEORY of normal and revolutionary science: In the development of particular
science, Kuhn distinguishes three stages as:
Choices:
PRE-PARADIGM STAGE STAGE OF REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE PRESENTATION OF THEORY TO THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY PARADIGM STAGE OF NORMAL SCIENCE FORMULATION OF THEORY
Ans:
PRE-PARADIGM STAGE PARADIGM STAGE OF NORMAL SCIENCE STAGE OF REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE
KUHNS THEORY OF NORMAL AND REVOLUTIONARY SCIENCE.
In the development of particular science, Kuhn distinguishes three stages as:
1. Pre-paradigm stage science developed based on the shifts in paradigm. The validity of a
theory is subject to social phenomenon.
2. Paradigm stage of normal science based on the presumption that science developed from
an accumulation of serendipitous truths, which are abundant and natural
3. Stage of revolutionary science based on the external influences of society in the
development of science and technology.
