Subject: BHA: Is it Mystify or Demystification, 
Date: Fri, 09 Jan 2004 08:39:29 +0100


Listers!

Can science mystify instead of demystificating?

When science is misunderstood, misrepresented or misused what can be 
the social consequences?
Why is it that yesterday’s scientific facts are tomorrow’s scientific 
disasters?
How are such problems confronted without using the same science to 
deepen or mystification of the problem?

It appears to me, with the facts which are ruling in the scientific 
world, social scientist categories as effects of a post modern 
society;  from junk food, dysfunction economic theories and hypothesis, 
behavioural sciences that has become media talk shows, natural science 
turning societies in ir/ rational command societies- there is a greater 
scientifica problem than science claims to have solved in the last few 
centuries- I might be wrong but if right what is the problem
