Social Dimensions of Science

Trust and truthfulness in scientific findings depend on society to determine their legitimacy and value. The questions society asks acts as governance for science. When directing study and social resource science is less influenced in practice but more dependent on what technology society is using at any given time. Understanding science as a social enterprise is important because it helps in the process of what to question, such as ethics and political bias. The conclusion drawn by Longino states that because society has taken an increased interest in the issues about science, technology has reflected in whatever context it is taken from. For example, several studies show the relations between scientific community and money and or credentials. The many social dimensions of science provide a plausible correlation between the two. Looking at these dimensions, it is righteous to understand that science has branched similar to a tree and society developed because of the development of science.
