If not, then what does society mean when it asks scientists to be socially responsible?
2. Do some research, particularly in recent newspaper and magazine articles, on the question of how contemporary society regards the achievements of science. Is there a wave of antiscientific attitudes on the part of the general public today? Are contemporary American politicians generally pro-science or antiscience What would move them to one position or the other? What is your position regarding the value of science in your world?
