Retrieved March 10, 2021, from https://phys.org/news/2015-01-world-extraterrestrial-life.html Summary : The article generally illustrates few points about how would humankind react to the state when we successfully make contact with an alien civilization, referring to the history of different countries of ambassadors or adventures first explored into another nation. As a reference of the history, there would be barriers at the communication stage; one would be the civilization differences; one would be the difference of mathematics on language, and the last would be the ethics and moral standards between aliens and humankind, and this is would be the extreme challenge for human beings.  Author : Elizabeth Howell is a contributing writer who is one of the few Canadian journalists to report regularly on space exploration. She is the author or co-author of several bo...

 My Argument: In my paper, I explained that scientists like astrobiologists, ufologists, and astronomers of many different generations have tried their best to understand and learn about space and get a possible answer to the question: are we alone in the universe? Many conspiracy theorists have tried to use their observations and opinions to come up with different explanations as to whether or not aliens exist. But over decades, since the U.S. government started to search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the research and project did not have much progress, due to the boundary work between SETI scientists and ufologists and other external effects. The boundaries that hinder these scientists from collaborating with each other, limit the many possible discoveries on the outer space.  A counter-argument of ufology being considered a pseudoscience is : Ufologists are not just ordinary people who are digging information and analyzing their findings to understand things that they ...

  This is an image of  plaques that were made of gold-coated aluminum which carried outlines of a human male and female. These two plaques were carried on satellites that tried to communicate with other intelligent life in the universe. The satellites also carried the drawn structure of Hydrogen so that only intelligent life forms can comprehend the message and understand we as human beings trying to be friendly.  Elani indicates that  this way has not yet given a solid amount of evidence that can change the way people see space. Nor is there any answer to the mystery of whether we are alone in the universe or not. However, it doesn’t mean that it would be a waste to understand what kinds of changes can be seen in the world itself, if some way or another, it is proven that humans are not the only ones living in the Universe. Whatever the reason, scientists, in fact, are looking forward to exploring whether there is life outside our planet Earth. But under governmenta...

  My theoretical frame is based on the article, "What Can Scientists Learn from Alien Hunters". It organizes the fields of studies where astrobiologists and astronomers were on, based on their methods of systematic experimentation. The article directly points out the reason for the boundary work was because of their various approaches to scientific researches on extraterrestrials life topics. By analyzing their methods on scientific studies and looking deep at some political influences, I could conclude with how does the boundary-work affects the study progress on extraterrestrial life for over decades.

Boundary-work and the demarcation of science from non-science: Strains and interests in professional ideologies of scientists.  American sociological review , 781-795. Summary: The paper describes the construction of a boundary between science and varieties of non-science is useful for scientists' pursuit of professional goals, that the acquisition of intellectual authority and career opportunities; denial of these resources to "pseudoscientists"; and protection of the autonomy of scientific research from political interference. "Boundary-work" describes an ideological style found in scientists' attempts to create a public image for science by contrasting it favorably to non-scientific intellectual or technical activities.
