all of the television channels out there and access to the internet, you

media portrays science.How does a pop culture portrayal of
science and scientists impact the average person’s view of what science
is and how research is conducted? Can what is presented by the media
affect how the general populace views a particular research field? What
might the long-term impacts of such a depiction be? These are just a few
questions that you will reflect upon in this Assignment.Your paper should address the following questions:When
you hear the word “scientist” what do you envision? Which famous people
or characters from the media come into your mind? What characteristics
do they have in common? Discuss at least three characteristics of your

and how they look changed over time? If so, how has this changed and
what influenced you?Are fictional scientists usually the
heroes, villains, or a combination of the two? Provide at least two
detailed examples to support your position.How is science
portrayed in fictional media (television shows, movies, music, books,

world? Give specific examples supporting your position.Do you
think the portrayal of scientists in the various forms of media
influences how society views people in this profession? Why, or why not?Can
