Reading Greene's article reminded me of a recent discussion I had with a friend couple days back. My friend a non science major stated that she doesn't "understand students who are non-science majors taking a bio or chem class for fun". When I heard this of course I disagreed because for me, like many of the students here, the sciences can be very interesting and in her words "fun".

Greene's argument that our "educational system fails to teach science" in way that "integrates it in to their lives" is proof of American's strong idea and I believe a misconception that science is difficult, boring and useless-unless needed for a profession.
