In science the other day, my teacher asked us 'What was their mistake?' It seemed I was the only one that thought of the following viewpoint. We were watching a video on the release of CFCs into the environment. After a few minutes thought, I came to the conclusion that the mistake simply wasn't the harmful release. A few girls simply said 'they released too much'. But whether or not the release was harmful or not can greatly affect what is a 'mistake' or an 'accidental success' in one's mind. To me, the mistake was that there was simply not enough research being put into the effects of releasing the chemical, and how it would further affect the environment after a long term release. If they hadn't have released it in such extreme moderations, perhaps the environment wouldn't be as damaged as what it is in it's current state. They weren't to know that it would potentially be a harmful chemical. They could have released large amounts, and it may have been good for the environment. So, to me, the release wasn't the mistake. I'm just wondering if anyone else agrees with me. If anyone agrees with the idea that it wasn't the release that was the mistake, it was the fact it wasn't properly researched beforehand. Even if you don't agree, I would be more than willing to hear out your answer! Thanks.

Howdy. Say, Riiyuki-chan, Uhm, seems that you have Wordpress, am I right? Uhm, would you please teach me how to do start a blog there cuz' I'm lost and it's like my first time trying to start one really so, yeah... Would you help me? Pretty please? Tonikaku, About what you said earlier, truth is I don't like to blame others or anything, no, not even say that they were wrong or who's wrong. However, I do place accountability. So, to me it was a mistake on their behalf. However, it wouldn't be a mistake if they didn't know it beforehand. They only realized that it WAS a mistake to let plenty of the substance be absorbed by the atmosphere much later. These days, there's something known as HCFC but is not widely used or even widely mentioned anywhere. I may not be able to understand 'Release' from your perspective but here's what I understand. What you're referring to 'Release' is just basically the release of the chemicals and not the people who released the agent. Therefore, it concludes with what I typed earlier. No hard feeling kay? Riitchan ♥ Jaa, Sayonara.  |

Mistake: An error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness. - from thefreedictionary.com Was is a mistake to release cfc's into the atmosphere? I'm not too sure on this one. It was only through "mistakes" like lead plumbing, cfc's, and atom bombs that we started to think about our course of action before we set it in motion. Take thalidomide for example. There was practically no drug testing done back during its development so they had no idea that it would cause such terrible birth defects in babies whose mothers took it. As a result of that (and other drugs with similarly disastrous effects) drugs have to go through numerous trials with statistically sufficient populations before being released to the public. So was it really a mistake, or was it just a learning experience that lead to better progress overall? When I think about it, mistakes are inevitable. There is always that grain of uncertainty in any new endeavor that will sometimes lead to disaster. But it is from mistakes that we learn the most.

Hello^^ To me, I could care less about the mistakes made in the past, whether it was a few days ago or a few minutes ago. I'm more concerned about "what action will you take to fix it and/or find a solution" In science, they experiment and sometimes make mistakes. Sure, in theory it may seem correct but the outcome is a different story. No one can predict the future because i believe that nothing can be set on a predetermined path. It's simple to place the blame on something, therefore, to your question of what was the mistake? If you must blame something, blame our curiosity to experiment with science and knowledge. (this is what i believe anyways^^) |
