Abstract :
The many and varied successes in technology have inspired in the minds of millions unskilled in technological methods the belief that such methods are directly applicable to social problems. The engineer should be the first to recognize the danger in this misconception and should do what he can to educate and warn the lay public that principles applicable to his inanimate problems cannot be applied directly in the domain of social phenomena.
