Why Did The Culture Of Science Become Deep In The Heart Of America?

It is said that exploration and the culture of science have become a significant part of the Americans once the New World was discovered. How (and why) is it said so? Explain!

Once the New World was discovered, the exploration and the culture of science had become an interlaced part of America considering the fact that once the land was discovered the Americans didn’t waste their time to explore the land. This paper is going to explain about the connection between the exploration and the culture of science, and explain more about how they’re woven so deep in the heart of the Americans.
There are many factors that actually made the science in America become related to exploration. Some of the factors, according Goetzmann, were the West ward
These expedition later resulted in the rapid growth of the American agricultural experiment, the establishment of land grant colleges in every state after 1862 which is also dedicated to the culture of science. The colleges produced trained scientists who were also gave a great contributions to the U.S Geological Survey and Biological Survey. As times went by the scientists were also required to master the mystery of geodesy, they were also instructed to study the soil and face of the country including its plants, animals, minerals, fossils, evidences of volcanic action, weather and customs of the Indian tribes. Goetzmann also argued that geodesy and geology had become hallmarks of supreme achievements by Americans working within the culture of science. It was solely because of the American needs to “triangulate the immense width of the continent, a notable achievement which was still not possible in other parts of the world.” The American scientific explorers made noteworthy and accepted contributions to the culture of science, ranging from Joseph Leidy and Othniel Marsh’s discovery of the evolution of the horse to the employment of photography in the study exposed land forms, all of which took place between 1855 and
As it was stated before, the development of the science in United States had influenced the people who was religious, superstitious, and many more to become more critical, question many things, didn’t accept things as it is and think more logically. Though some parts of the Americans frowned the development of science, it also couldn’t be denied that science had big contributions to American way of life. The most prominent was the Pragmatism, in which believe that every man has the same opportunity to earn success, a belief which rhymes with the chance universe and the open-endedness that correlated to American Dream. And pragmatism, as it’s argued by Goetzmann,were able to stay on its ground as the American thought for so long and no other philosophies were able to replace its position. According to another book, American Literary Thought, the answer as to why the pragmatism was un-replaceable was also due to the fact that pragmatism believe ‘thought without action is lacking power’. This is correlating to the basic idea of the American exploration and culture of science. Furthermore the average American was a pragmatist long before James and Dewey used the term, they were characterized as bold, daring and willing to ‘take a
