This section of the unit has made you aware that:
science is formed by a community of practice, creating knowledge and requiring a special language for its communication;
there is a difference between objective scientific methods and subjective ways of knowing;
political power influences scientific discoveries, and scientific knowledge is always socially embedded;
public understanding and perception of science have moved away from the individual to the formalised presentation of science.
