4. What is a ‘contribution to society’?
A contribution to society is something that helps that society to function in some way.
For example, society needs to know what will cause unrest, and to know what causes crime so that it can be reduced.
Society needs to know about education so that its members are skilled for jobs, as the economy of a society is very important.
