is a great concern when the perceived impact through development
policy, which in essence is the application of science and
technology.
Application

values, morals or his human aspects. Such
circumstances are not spared from development philosophy itself, in
determining the choice between production orientation with a strong
economic motive, with a value orientation concerning humanitarian
aspects sometimes
have to pay more expensive.
Science
it can be viewed as a product, a process, and as an ethical paradigm
(Jujun S. Suriasumantri, 1984). Science
because science is seen as a process is the result of social
darikegiatan, who tried to understand nature, man and his behavior
either individually or in groups. What
is produced by science as it is today, is the result of reasoning
(ratio) objectively. Science
means knowledge as a product obtained from a recognized method of
science in general and universal nature. Therefore
verifiable science, so it is not impossible that an established
theory may someday be overthrown by another theory.
Science
as a science, because science than universal, communal, also tools at
once can convince skeptics, just not easy to accept the truth.
IImu is not a destination but as a
tool or a means to improve the lives of humans. with
attention and priority to nature and human dignity and the
conservation of the natural environment.
