Science is the study of nature and its behaviour. It is knowledge of facts and truths gained through observation ans experimentation. Issac Asimov an american writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University says: "There is a single light of science , and to brighten it anywhere is to brighten it anywhere." Then to define society, it is a group of people living together and sharing the same culture and tradiations. who are scientist? They are expert in science. Stephen Hawking says: "scientist have become the bearers of the torch of discovery in our quest. for knowlege." Scientist are the member of society as well. Thus they interlink science and society. The association of science and society brings forth social sciencies. Science is the knowledge of the World that man learns; while society is the life style the man adopt according to what he leans. Human beingd act like a brige between the two. An English chemist, Rossalind Franklin says, "Science and everyday life cannot and should not be seperated." Thus man lives in society accordoing to the prescribes pattern of nature and scientific standards.

Issac Asimov says in the context." The saddest aspects of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gather wisdom."
