What does it mean to be human? We are able to perceive time, the future, past and present along. We can distinguish and express feelings and we can analyze and think critically. We have a conscious and can determine whether we mistakes. Together, humans have developed cities and continue to populate the areas throughout the world, from Antarctica to collect scientific data to the vast, arid lands of the Sahara Desert.

I honestly wonder sometimes however if anyone has just stopped and questioned where we’re going with all this research. What exactly are we doing with all this jumble of information and data that we collect? What does it mean to actually be part of science? In a recent lecture given by Andrew Murphie, a distinguished professor at the University of New South Wales, there was mention of how science depends on communication and how there is a new development of science communication. Perhaps it might even be a major or concentration at universities one day. 

However, how does all this research and specialization tie in together to make the world a “better place” if that is even what we’re striving for as humanity. Why are there so many contradictions (I’m sure you can find a couple in this article) and why does humanity continue to think that progress is a thing of the future. For all we know there might not be a future considering that some religions believe that world will end in 2012 and others believe that it will end this December. 

We don't know what the future holds, but as long as we have hope in what future generations can create to remain together, then we're ok.
