This book examines the most hot-button issues involving science and technology.The modern world is filled with debate and controversy and science and technology are not immune. Science and technology are implicated in many if not all of the issues, troubles, and problems students are likely to encounter in everyday life. Science and technology serve as a primary pathway to understanding front page headlines on everything from war to AIDS, and from oil exploration to global warming. "Battleground: Science and Technology" examines the most topical involved and provides a balanced assessment of the arguments on all sides of the often strident debates.The approximately 100 issues include: topics in the brain sciences, including the controversies over the cause of autism and the reliability of memory, as well as the debates over parapsychology; debates surrounding information technology, such as privacy, the impact of video games on social behaviour, and the advent of virtual reality; and, hot-button topics that are constantly in the news, such as evolution and creationism, DNA testing, stem-cell research, and genetically modified organisms.Each entry provides a list of accessible resources useful for further research.
