How does science affect society? A few of the contributions that science and technology have made to everyday modern life are as follows. The automobile has proven to be a practical solution to the problem of getting from place to place by providing a convenient, flexible means of transportation.
Sankofa is a word in the Twi language of Ghana that translates as Go back and get it (san - to return; ko - to go; fa - to fetch, to seek and take) and also refers to the Asante Adinkra symbol represented either with a stylized heart shape or by a bird with its head turned backwards taking an egg off its back.
The sankofa bird appears frequently in traditional Akan art, and has also been adopted as an important symbol in an African-American and African Diaspora context to represent the need to reflect on the past to build a successful future. It is one of the most widely dispersed adinkra symbols, appearing in modern jewelry, tattoos, and clothing.
