Unfortunately, compromise and equilibrium is not common in the world today. We are very competitive, wanting to be the best. Many STEM supporters may argue the superiority of their field as a result of inventions and medicine. Those who favor science can point out the life saving vaccines that have been developed. Additionally, almost everyone uses a cell phone, or has rode in a car. These daily inventions are a direct result from STEM, and logical thinking and problem solving. Life would be very different if science and technology had not led to all of these advances.
