From the Scientific Advancements created from World War 1&2, I think that humanity had an impactful effect, but it was one way that technology was experimented to gain information to strengthen the use of technology. During those wars, especially during World War 2, a big number of technical warfare weapons and transportation appeared. The newer technology was able to turn the tide of the war and won WW2 for the allies. However, humanity was affected by all the new scientific technology. Nations werenʻt prepared for these new weapon attacks and as a result, many fatalities occurred in other nations. But from there, technology only got stronger. In my opinion, I don't think the new advancements were “worth the gain”, but it did allow engineers and builders of warfare creations to strengthen their products. As a result, humanity has gone through a lot throughout both wars, and part of it was due to the powerful impact of the Scientific Advancements. Today, the scientific advancements continue to impact our modern society as it can affect our ʻāina and living health in Moananuiākea and Hawaiʻi. The newer technology has created problems on our ʻāina such as air pollution, debris on land, ocean pollution, and even destruction of habitats. As a kānaka leader, I think that we should care about our future for our land and our people. I donʻt think it’s “worth the gain” for the scientific advancements to “take over” our ʻāina, ʻohana, and lāhui. I think that our future should deserve way more from us and what we are doing to protect one another. The scientific advancements can do so much to change our ʻāina, but affecting our roots means that our culture may not be the same anymore. It is not “worth the gain” for our society to change our culture for science.
