One show that I watch all the time is Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. This show is basically about different scenarios where victims either get raped, killed, abused, etc. This show has a little bit of science when the forensic scientist goes through whatever the detectives have gathered for her to examine. For example, when they have a rape victim and the guy leaves semen on the victim, they detectives can bring that to the forensic scientist and she can easily figure out who matches to that particular semen. Also if there was to be a killed victim and the killer was to leave some type of fingerprints, or some of his blood by any chance; they can also easily figure out who matches to those fingerprints or to the blood. The language spoken on the show is accurate and it does seem realistic. I think it keeps audiences "awed" because if similar situation like these were to happen to any of us, we would want to figure out who the criminal is. The science in this show is definitely not dumbed down, but better yet very advanced.
In this show I believe that the science part "awes" me! The technology used in this show is so good that it shouldn't be hard to find criminals when they do leave some type of DNA behind. I also think that it inspires me because if we can do this type of science now, who knows how more advanced the science can get 10 years from now.
If people in the U.S. were to watch this show, and they saw that at the end of the show the detectives catch their perpetrator because of science, i think that a lot of them would feel the same way I do. I don't think that anybody would feel threatened with this type of science, I actually believe that many would agree and accept this type of science.
