Social Frameworks

Scientific and technological enterprises do not operate independently of social norms and aspirations. On the contrary, they are means by which a society seeks a more desirable future for itself. The goal is always to eradicate collective evils arising from human ignorance and vulnerability to the world around them, material and social. The varieties of ignorance and vulnerability which different enterprises aim to overcome are determined by the fears, aspirations, and values dominant in the societies in which they operate. No human societies ever speaks with one voice about how their collective futures should be shaped. Policies socially adopted are a result of convergence around particular ways of ‘framing’ the future, economic, historical, moral, political, social, and religious that justify decisions to pursue some future goods at the expense of others. In democratic societies, where public participation and accountability are valued, dominance over decision-making by social elites has prompted social backlash, from the 19th century “luddites” who attacked mechanization in mills to 21st century media-based movements organized to exert control over the science, health, and environmental policies. To achieve egalitarian public participation in setting goals and boundaries for scientific and technological innovation, it is essential to understand how different methods of social framing intersect, how power relations between social actors can distort dialogue, resulting in divisive policies that undermine collective goals.
