Science is influential in postindustrial societies because it is widely understood that technology arising from scientific knowledge has made possible the high standard of living and relatively good health that the majority of people in such societies enjoy. Because science has made these gains possible, it is valued because it is seen as the most likely source of further gains. It is also valued because it can lead to the invention of productssuch as the computer, video game machine, and various electronic medical scannersthat have been highly profitable to their developers.

Question 2

Collective decision making in democracies must be by majority rule with each person having one vote. That is, each person's vote must be equal to every other person's, regardless of status, money, or fame. Whenever any individual is denied political equality because of race, sex, or wealth, then the government is not truly democratic. Majorities are not always right. But majority rule means that all persons have an equal say in decisions affecting them. If people are truly equal, their votes must count equally, and a majority vote must decide the issue, even if the majority decides foolishly.
