Sociology of scientific ignorance

Sociology of scientific ignorance is when people don't know enough about science and how it affects their everyday lives. For example, they don't understand how the earth works and why it is important to take care of our environment. They might also not understand how new technologies can help us with things like health, communication, and transportation. So, sociologists look at why people don't understand science and what we can do to improve the situation. They might look at things like the media, educational backgrounds, and socioeconomic factors that can lead to a lack of knowledge about science. It is important for us to understand why people don't know about science so that we can work to make sure that everyone is aware of the scientific knowledge that can benefit them.
