In the last 20th century quarter, Science, Technology and Society have increasingly emerged as a field that has converged both engineers and scientists. This has brought about the comprehension of thriving in this ever complex world. This has diverted the people’s attention from the former fields such as philosophy and history. Owing to the fact that 20th century talks about cultural rationality constructions, studious forebears of STS exist in varieties.
For an interactive approach that cut across all disciplines, i.e. scientifically and technically competent, cross-culturally interactive and culturally resonant were put through at MIT. They were aimed at testing and litigating the history and ethnography, visual studies and literature, national institution construction and transnational code competitions tools of ethnography. This was actually to prove the credibility of relocating pedagogical STS sites into medical, science, engineering and law schools.
This approach’s aim was not only to make a reconnection between the five cultures but to also to converse specialization, classification and even lack exchange of ideas of science subfields and big engineering projects’ components.
An argument pops up questioning whether STS should be incorporated in the technoscientific education program so as to critique the recombinant reagent instead of the old imagery as verging critic. Then another question comes up, “are these the best critic ways?”
Michael Foucault probably discovered as an efflorescent new episteme, ought not to be detached from the older ones, but be reconfigured as in new cultural material and social logics. Analogues of the third series fiber-optic cables’ that were globally set down in the 1990s, amplifying the connectivity and the emergent technological infrastructure bandwidth, at the same time demurring and compelling the national postal systems’ redesigning by new telecommunication amalgamated structures that were multinational.
STS in this perspective is not just about making sideline comments but trying to seek comprehension on how our techno scientific fields should carry out their activities in accordance to types of regulatory fabrication accountabilities and pedagogies.
