| Research Abstract |
The objects of this joint research are how science is represented in (children's) popular culture, how people receive such cultural contents, and how people take particular kinds of elements as 'scientific.' It is true that these contents have the critical viewpoints about science, but after all they emphasize the bright future rather than the risks of technology, so that the consumers can build up and keep trust in science and technology.
