The New is Feared by the Ones in Control
Aspen Luck
Most people don't realize some of the deeper things that go on when different sciences try and come together to work on a problem. It ends up going badly; badly in ways that when someone who may not be a higher class or in a higher status try to make a comment on something, or make a theory, they as in the ‘Lower ranking scientists’ or the ‘teenagers with no knowledge’ aren’t given a chance to have their thoughts taken into consideration allowed to have their or their thoughts taken into consideration. But I believe in letting people make comments and theories no matter how they look, or their status. I believe that even if it's a teenager, they deserve a chance to be respected, not respected they came here to debate ,not to be shoved aside.
I’ve been into Microbiology. And Astronomy for over a year. And I’ve learned lots about those subjects, but when I try to say that I could help debate in a science gathering, or bump up my level, I’m told I'm too young and this is ‘adult stuff’. And it frustrates me, I want to help, I want to share my talents.
On a deeper level, this isn't just about people who like/love science not being allowed to speak. But this about the fact that people who look different, aren't as known, or don't fit the “Stereotype” of how people should act to be taken into consideration. So yes, I believe in making sure that when someone has a thought, they can share it. Because I don't think that the first thought should be ‘Do they have a degree?’,‘Why are they here if they don't look like the rest of us?’. It should be letting them speak.
Writer's Statement
I wrote this story about my experiences about my thoughts being rejected when I try to make a consideration on science, and the main point of this is to share my experiences on how people can be rejected based on their looks; I love science and also making different thoughts and theories. I found this important because lots of people say that we need to advance the world, and our technology. But what people don't realize is that in big companies revolving around science there's always arguments, and it makes me upset. Not in just a slightly mad way, but it's the fact that when someone from almost 100 years ago says something that is right, then it is. And if something tries to be proven wrong, it becomes a war. And threats come to the people who want change. I was taught that when you have an idea, backed up by the math, the real-time proof you can't share it because it’ll make the ‘Ones in Charge’. This isn't just about science.
