Quinton Ross The Scientific Revolution has had a dramatic impact throughout the world. It has helped us make scientific advancements, such as heliocentricity and atomism, helped us find flaws in our government, and allowed women to be involved in education,. Despite persecution from the Catholic Church, it made a difference in the world. The basis for the Scientific Revolution was the Scientific Method.1 This process uses logic and experimentation to explain works of the universe. This process removed blind adherence to tradition from science, and allowed scientists to logically find answers through the use of reasoning.1 One scientist by the name of Nicolaus Copernicus created the heliocentric model of the universe.
In what ways does a comparative study accentuate the distinctive contexts of Frankenstein and Blade Runner? The values and morals of society have dramatically changed throughout the course of history, so too has the knowledge of science, its teachings and influences on the world. As new technologies have been under further experimentation into the production of man-made life forms, the debate between science and religion has continued. It is these issues within an author’s context that influences them and the texts they create. Mary Shelley’s gothic promethean novel, Frankenstein (1818), was released during the industrial revolution as romanticism was thriving, while Ridley Scott’s futuristic sci-fi Blade runner (1992) grew with the dawning of a capitalistic increasingly globalised and technologically driven society.

Blade Runner and Frankenstein Finished First Draft. Different authors throughout time shape their ideas while reflecting the world and society they live in.

Butterfield (1965) author of “The Origins of Modern Science” persuasively argues that what materialized in the 16th century and subsequent years was not necessarily the results of new information, but transformed minds. Helweg, (1997) explains that other cultures have made significant findings to the human race; i.e., the Hindus introduction of zero and the Muslins contributions to algebra. Christian also contributed an exclusive set of expectations required by science. Many Christians were not only scientist but researchers that validated that we existed in a methodical universe. They understood that revealing such knowledge would prove powerful in evidence that such a universe was shaped by a methodical
Its immediate ancestor was the cognitive revolution of the 1970s, an explosion of psychological research into the way people think. After decades dominated by the study of observable behavior, scientists wanted a closer look at the more mysterious operation of the human brain. And the development of computers-which enabled scientists to display information very quickly and to measure minute discrepancies in reaction time-permitted a peek into the unconscious. At the same time, the study of cognition was also illuminating the nature of stereotypes themselves. Research done after World War IT-mostly by European emigres struggling to understand how the Holocaust had happened-concluded that stereotypes were used only by a particular type of person: rigid, repressed, authoritarian.
