In this regard, the mass media itself must be informed and aware of progress in science and the changing attitudes of the public. Sciences require more money, coordination, social supports, administrative superstructure, and political maneuvering etc., in today fs society. Progress in sciences profoundly effects individuals and the society, thus citizens have the right not only to know, but to participate how to promote or suppress the course leading to such a progress. There are numerous social responsibilities of scientists. There are many proposals in this regard.
Modern science ventures into much unknown territory.
Often, it encounters with a conflict with traditional values and even with the conventional ethical principles, particularly when new frontiers are explored. If the works are done in an area of particular social impacts, the scientist has the responsibility to make the issues open to the public. Recent achievements of genetics and its applications in medicine and related areas are good examples of works that require these considerations because they very often technically manipulate such matters which so far belonged to the God, thus jeopardize traditional values. Mass media are sometimes referred to as the fourth Power, besides legislation, administration and justice. These potentials are often so great.
