Description
INTRODUCTION Modern science is and has been (with little doubt) deeply enmeshed in all of the difficult and complex social, political and economic issues of our times (1) and even more so in the present era of "globalization." In the context of what many sociologists have called our current "risk society," science is increasingly assuming a greater and greater role in the decision-making (from personal to social, political and economic) as an antidote to various special interests, ideologies and increasing biases in all cultures and particularly those of the institutional kind. According to many experts and scholars (2), (3), our technologically advanced and powerfully persuasive media have become a blatantly biased and one-sided and often a scientifically, as well as historically, inaccurate force in our country rather than a reasonably objective and balanced provider of accurate and acceptably valid information on all sides of an issue or problem. To update and paraphrase Marshall McLuhan, the media are now one of the major problems and impediments to our objective, scientific and deep understanding of current events and situations. In a word, the "medium (now) is not the (low noise and high fidelity) message".
