Title: BTEC Applied Science Unit 5 Assignment 4
Description: Unit 5: Perceptions of Science – Assignment 4 The Influence of Politics and Commerce on Science Task 1 Choose any topic, e.g. wind farms, stem cell research, you wish as the topic for this task. List those organisations/groups that are involved in arguing the case FOR and those arguing the case AGAINST this development. Pick one group/organisation for and one against this scientific development and outline how they campaign for their perspective to be more influential. This provides evidence for P5 Task 2 Choose a topic currently being developed in our society, e.g. GM food, stem cell research as the basis for this task. Identify THREE different organisations that provide funding for this work, indication which are Government and which are private organisations. State the aim of each of the three organisations you have identified. If the aims of ONE of these groups were to dominate the direction of the development of this science topic, indicate the impact this may have on the direction of the work being undertaken. This provides evidence for M4 Task 3 Pick ONE scientific development – it may have had a positive effect or negative effect on society. Show how the science was developed, i.e. how did the science make its positive/negative impact and develop. (Be clear about the role different interest groups played in this development.)

For wind farms
The European Wind Energy Association (EWEA)
“Vision
Wind energy will be the leading technology in transforming the global energy supply structure
towards a truly sustainable energy future based on indigenous, non-polluting and competitive
renewable technologies
...

Reference: http://www

org/mission-vision-values/

The EWEA has stated its goals and what they shall work to
...
The EWEA promotes wind energy in Europe to influence them into making
wind energy more used
...
They urge that the use of wind farm will grow in
Europe and for many companies and global organisation to promote the use of wind energy
...
They act as
a central network on overcoming the issues of wind energy for the people that use it
...
To secure the largest market share in the
development of the wind farm markets in Europe by 2020
...
To promote how using wind energy will benefit the earth and attract new
investments
...
To promote the grid development to integrate large quantities
of wind farms in the market in a cost effective way
...


Against wind farm
Windfarm Action Group
The Windfarm Action Group states what they are, where they are based in an their aim
...
" They receive no funding and pay for the costs
themselves
...
They argue that way too much is
spent on marketing and promoting wind power, whilst having a counter-argument that there are
few financial resources available
...
They try to argue against the wind power and provide evidence backing up the
argument
...
They then argue against this
point that Miliband's makes and say that he has no right to tell us how to think, as we live in a
democracy, whilst saying however that he does have the right to express his opinions

This is done by using 3D bio printing
technology
...
They are currently partnering with biopharmaceutical organisations and academic medical
centres, to enable "to design, build, and validate more predictive in vitro tissues for disease
modelling and toxicology
...
These 3D printed tissues can repair or replace damages
or diseased tissues in the human body
...
Eventually, in many hospitals, 3D
printed functioning tissues would be used to repair and replace damaged tissue in many individuals
...


Unit 5 - Assignment 4 - D4
3D printing
3d printing is the art forming three dimensional objects with plastic into any shape from a digital
design
...
3d
printing has become very well known in society as it is being discussed all over the media
...
However, this is not the first time 3d printed objects have been on the market
...
The first fully functional 3D printer was made by Charles W
...
3D printing used to be very expensive in earlier years, in fact it was not feasible by the general

market
...
From 2010 to 2013, the cost of these devices have decreased from
$20,000 to $1,000
...
3D printing has been used in a number of industries from
architecture to military engineering
...
It may even
be possible to print food in the future, this could help reduce world hunger in the less economically
developed countries
...
Even NASA have been testing the rocket components
built by 3D printers
