After this course, my thoughts on humanism, science and technology has changed. I view these topics differently now than before. It seems that in the beginning, I was wrong about the type of person I was. This course has helped me discover my real views on this. I guess that before I wasn't required to think about it and I didn't. Now that I learned more about each area, I feel comfortable enough to say that I am neither a humanist or a scientist. I am a combination of the two.
I didn't become any more or less of that person; I only realized my true self-identification in this area. There are many things I learned about these fields and all of them impacted what I associated myself with. However, these are things I already associated with myself, I just discovered it after this course. I am less optimistic about technology after this course, because we learned about negative impacts and I think that they outweigh the positive impacts.
This class has taught me a lot, whether using fiction or fact, about real life. We don't get to see what happens outside of our lives, but this course makes us step out and look from an observer's view. We have to realize that science and technology aren't always good and neither is humanism. We have to be critical of the world and question things that don't make sense to us. Otherwise, they never will.
