History of Science and Technology
Being in a policy area delivers me into a lot of questions about whether something is good or bad, preference (one is better than another) and regulation to support things we asses as good. One difficulties I face is how can we asses quantitative data with a qualitative point of view? In the the other hand without any quantitative data, how can we verified whether something is good or bad? In physical engineering, these problems are solved by using scientific method involved tools such as thermometer. Good or bad is assessed by seeing its performance. But in social area, good or bad can’t be seen as fast as we want it to, or even, we have to choose to beneficial one community among others.
