Analyzing My Text's Cultural Setting

In this post I have determined when and where and in what time reference the author is writing in. Knowing these thing I will then answer three questions related to analyzing the cultural values that arise from this setting.

• What values, ideas, norms etc. play an important role in the text? 

Certain questions like what the purpose of science is, and what is consciousness play a key role in this article. Along with these questions just the concept and ideas of science and consciousness play a huge role in this article. People tend to take what science says as 100% truth which is why it is so dangerous for people in science to make huge claims that cross multiple disciplines and make some assumptions about the nature of us or the universe that is not backed up by other people research into the topic.

• Does the text address these cultural ideas and such directly or indirectly?

The author of this addresses these ideas both in a direct way and indirect way. For one, the common misconceptions about science and physics he addresses directly along with the cross discipline writings of professors. The author indirectly interacts with the deep ideas surrounding this topic by talking about things tangential to the deep questions like what is consciousness but never actually addressing the question directly.

• How does the text interact with these elements?

The author of this article is critical of both the scientific papers and books publish across disciplines as well as the misconceptions about quantum physics and physics in general. The author also goes on to talk about the problems of naming and words in science that mean something vastly different to people in the public domain. He addresses this issue and hopes to clarify misleading terms.
