You can google Scientific Literacy benefits and get a bunch of opinion on what that means and why its important, but what you may also see is the base presumptions of what you think of society are also in flux, challenged, or assumed by people based on their bias and experience.
Ergo, the overlap of a social impact analysis by someone who is scientifically literate may be too rare to have open and meaningful dialogue in promoting it for society as a whole.
At what point do you teach to a minimum standard of understanding vs attempting to teach the average person all the implications of a science. You will see that based on some socio-economic structures it may even be undesirable for their to be a high rate of science literacy if the applications of that knowledge come against the society and the state as a whole.
Knowledge is power and often the premise of warfare is deception.
