The four principles I've concluded from studying the scientific theory are: 1. The development of a true science of work (J. Morley, 2013): Was in a sense to replace using your common sense or basic knowledge and instead use the scientific method to determine the best and most efficient way of doing the task. 2. The scientific selection and
INTRODUCTION: Environmental pollution is a popular issue after World War II. It can be said that pollution is the result of our social development through the means of science. Pollution is the product of our scientific achievements being applied for the improvement of human facilities.
