What is the relationship of chemistry and society?

Answer 1

Chemistry has played a very important role in our life. It has contributed a lot towards the well being of mankind in the form of food, clothing, shelter, medical treatment and in providing entertainment facilities. A variety of chemical fertilizers are being manufactured in thousands of industries everyday. Mass production of commodities is amazing, which save people from starvation. Crops are being protected by using pesticides. Food processing factories are working day and night for preparing refined food. The production of a variety of artificial fibres has brought a revolution in our clothing. We owe colourful and fine dresses for all seasons to chemistry.Cement, iron, bricks, glass, etc. used in the construction of our houses are the result of our knowledge of chemistry.

The attractive and colourful paints are available in the market are used to make the houses all the more beautiful. Polyester fibre, fibre glass, multicolour glass, glass crockery, tiles, steel and alloys of different materials are all miraculous products of chemistry. The modern life has got another aspect as well. The smoke emitting from chimneys of chemical industries and increasing number of auto-mobiles producing pollutant gases, are responsible for damaging our environment. Moreover, waste water coming from chemical industries is often saturated with dangerous chemicals and causes immense danger to land, canals and rivers.

Answer 2

Chemistry influences popular culture by developing materials that fill needs. For example plastics. Plastic and synthetic materials have changed clothing. Think of many of the clothing worn in to days fashions, plastic on our shoes, in our jewelry, shirts made of nylon. The discovery of these materials radically changed fashion and radically decreased the price of materials. Another way chemistry affects society is medically.The discovery of new medicines and materials used to make prosthetic limbs has made the world a much saver and excepting place for the disabled and those inflicted with disease. Society drives chemistry with is problems and the fruit of the study changes society. These are the more noble examples.

Sometimes Society influences chemistry to embark in very trivial pursuits, for instance the shampoo industry. Thousands of chemist vigorously study ways to improve shampoos. Still very useful to society but quite unexpected.
