Nuclear Power

Nuclear power political or sociological.

Bruno Latour seems to speak of the lines becoming blurred between science, society and politics. It seemed for so many years that science was holding politics in a stranglehold, and vice versa, intermittently through the years since the industrial revolution. Latour examines the thought that over time the scientists could have perhaps been a little elitist in the way they conduct their affairs ( Latour Sloterdijk 2009) within the secretive realms of science; and could now be more accountable to a population with masses of information at their fingertips. Certainly, society has become more inquisitive and is more willing to challenge decisions that come out of the science camp as a whole. With societies new freedom and a new apparently unrestricted source and appetite for information. Society as a whole could also be fed information via political tools such as the media; in order to realise both politicians’ and scientists’ views on how things should be and may be in place to manipulate such ideas for their own ends.
