Why is Science Literacy important?

Metchnikoff, a winner of Nobel Prize in physiology, has said, with the help of science, we can correct the defects of nature. We require good science literacy to make us avoid being deceived, cast off ignorance and get knowledge, and stimulate us to innovate.

Firstly, science literacy can prevent us from deception. We often see some news, a lot of old people and even young people are deceived by malicious propaganda, and lose their ability to judge, blind enough to buy some fake goods. Obviously, some people are short of basic science literacy to judge between right and wrong. Scientific knowledge can help us look at problems rationally. Furthermore, good science literacy can nip the deception in the bud.

Secondly, science literacy can make us a better understanding of our world. Almost all the phenomena can be explained by science, such as the growth secrets of animals and plants, the principle of automobile motion, and even the formation of the disease. With science literacy, we can learn about the world very clearly, and enrich our lives. As long as we see the world with science, we can real feel the beauty of life. Finally, science literacy can improve our sense of innovation. Innovation is not only for scientists, but also for all the citizens. Interestingly, I have read some excellence science books written by some amateurs who are bent on observing natural phenomena. It's amazing for our society that most people have the most basic scientific knowledge to study the world.

As a science major graduate, science literacy is more significance for us to explore the unknown world and gain achievements in scientific research.
