QUESTION 2
2.1 Discuss past and present scientists in the context of society and the
environment.
Throughout history, scientists have played a crucial role in shaping society's
understanding of the environment. One of the most significant examples is the British
geologist, Charles Lyell. In his ground-breaking work, "Principles of Geology" (1830),
Lyell introduced the concept of uniformitarianism, which states that geological
processes have occurred at a consistent rate over time. This idea challenged the
prevailing belief of the time that the Earth was shaped by sudden, catastrophic
events and helped to lay the foundation for the modern theory of evolution and the
development of modern geology.
Another notable example is Rachel Carson, an American marine biologist and
conservationist who, in her book "Silent Spring" (1962), raised public awareness
