The society plays an important role in influencing scientific development.
The social environment around us shapes scientific progress, also influencing the direction and path science takes in the current situation.
For instance, in the 1st half of the 20th century, the world was gripped in the clutches of war. Consequently, funds were made available to scientists in military technology and warfare sciences. The result- nuclear energy and its potential were unlocked.
Another example is how researches in biotechnology and genetic engineering have been promoted by corporations and industries in a bid to earn from the new technologies.
