Science is influential in postindustrial societies because it is widely understood that technology arising from scientific knowledge has made possible the high standard of living and relatively good health that the majority of people in such societies enjoy. Because science has made these gains possible, it is valued because it is seen as the most likely source of further gains. It is also valued
