The character of the U.S. that causes these periodic anti-science attitudes to seep into the culture

What is it about the character of the U.S. that causes these periodic anti-science attitudes to seep into the culture? This is a loaded question, and you may be tempted to stereotype an entire class of citizens. Remember that you are in college to learn how to think critically about topics, to learn how to analyze and problem-solve. Therefore, rather than attack a group, look for the reason an individual within a group might hold a particular position. How would you phrase your response? Post responses to each of the questions below.
Question 1
What causes anti-science attitudes?
• If you think anti-vaxxers are anti-science in their beliefs, what is the basis of their argument, and what documentation does this group have to support its position? What evidence would you provide to them to help them understand the need for vaccines? Basically, what would you say to an anti-vaxxer? If you are an anti-vaxxer, what would you say in defense of your position?
• If you think religious people are anti-science provide examples of how this group is anti-science. Do they disagree with all science or just certain types of technology and research? Again, investigate the group to understand its viewpoint.
Question 2
How should we define “good” and “harmful” technology or science? Write a definition and provide an example for both.
