Scientists live their lives always asking questions. They find the answers to their questions by turning these questions into theories and collecting data to prove them. Unlike other fields/disciplines, scientists must remain unbiased and use facts. People working in the science field do not let use other factors of the world to have an effect on their studies. For example religion is something big to avoid in a scientific study because it does not give facts, only beliefs. They want to use actual data, laws, and scientific methods so that they can reach a logical answer to their question. They have different viewpoints, writing styles, and begin a project in a very different way. Scientists get to the point when it comes to figuring out what they are solving. Rather than looking at the beauty of things, they find the reasons of what the mechanism are behind that objects that creates that beauty.
