Our society, the dominant culture doesn't like science. It doesn't like technology.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a big believer that science is part of a larger cultural thing. Science is not all by itself.
I meant exactly what I said: that we are saddled with a culture that hasn't advanced as far as science.
I've been thinking about the distorted view of science that prevails in our culture. I've been wondering about this, because our civilization is completely dependent on science and high technology, yet most of us are alienated from science.
Science is far from the center of the world for most people: even for many with highly sophisticated tastes, interests, and accomplishments.
Historically, science and society have gone separate ways, although society has provided the funds for science to grow, and in return, science has given society all the material things it enjoys.
Science is definitely part of America's infrastructure, the engine of prosperity. And yet science is given almost no visibility in the media.
Science is the key to our future, and if you don't believe in science, then you're holding everybody back.
Much of contemporary science is really the length and shadow of the technology we apply.
We live in a society exquisitely dependent on science and technology, in which hardly anyone knows anything about science and technology.
Science shouldn't be just for scientists, and there are encouraging signs that it is becoming more pervasive in culture and the media.
