Is 'society' equivolent to economics? how in-depth into econ do you go?
I'm much more into econ than business management. this summer i'll be in DC at the Engalitchef Institute on Comparative Political and Economic Systems doin an internship up there at some agency. Next fall i'll be participating the in "Fed Challenge" where each university in VA sends a team of 5 econ majors to give a presentation to the VA Federal reserve suggesting monetary policies.
I"m excited! ECON IS FUN!

well my school doesn't offer a business management major. but management & society is like 3 soci, 3 psych, and 3 econ courses, all primarily focused on basically managing. classes like labor force, social relations in the workplace, formal organizations and bureaucracy. and then my econ major is like any other econ program. micro, macro, econometrics, economic development of the US, and then any number of upper 400-500 level courses.

dood the point of science is to better our lives and we do this through understanding of the way things work even the various synthetic drugs we take are all thx to the wonderous efforts by shulgin and his science of biochemistry almost fucking everything we do that makes our lives better was made from science for instance we wouldnt understand magnets without science and then say goodby to credit cards, speakers, tvs, computers, electric motors, transformers(theregoes electricity), fucking anything fool are u dumb u just graduated wtf lol

Do those things really better our lives? TVs, for real? Credit cards? It's easy to question the value certain things that technology has given us, but mainly I question our foresight when assuming that technology is in fact "neutral". Technology may never be inherently good or bad but it certainly has the propensity, in my opinion, to guide people towards certain ideals or lack thereof. Motors have undeniably guided society into a new paradigm of landscape and travel. For the better? For the worse?
But at the same time, we have given ourselves things like painkillers. We've made PAIN, one of the worst things of being human, completely optional. That in itself is amazing. Like I said, I don't question technology so much as I question the lack of foresight or perhaps the rapidity at which we offer ourselves up to the technology so willingly and completely.

to think science has no purpose is a bit off-the-deep-end to me. of course it has a purpose, otherwise the market system wouldn't allocate so much funding to it!

I consider economics to be the darkest of sciences.
Science and technology are not without their values, and you are right to question the direction in which they develop. Though there are still plenty of problems to tackle. Anyone who battles chronic pain will tell you that science has not made it optional. There is still much work to be done.
Your ability to question the point of your own research makes you an ideal scientist, head and shoulders above the majority. On behalf of humanity I beg you to reconsider.
