The speaker asserts that nonmainstream areas of inquiry play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstrean science. I fundamentally agree with the speaker. I do not deny that the mainstream science is always the true explanation of the objective world and provides us a better life. However, the fact that nonmainstream areas of inquiry appears, develops and influences generation to generation should also not be neglected.
Admittedly, the science is the greatest achievement of the human being, and contributes a lot in the process of the society's advance. The mainstream science solves our puzzles and brings us a better life. For instance science could tell us why there is male and female in this world, science could provides us cool wind through air conditioner in the hot summer, science could also make the convenience of the communication to the unheard of level. Everyone who lives in this society is enjoying the benefits that society brings to us. Therefore, most of the desires of human being are contented by science and the thriving society is also owe to it.
However, the unavoidable appearance of some nonmainstream areas of inquiry in the long history is reasonable. Before the era, in which science is so complete that it can explain most of the phenomenon we meet in our lives, has come, those mysterious things which seems to be easily understood now puzzles our ancestors. The feeling of the helpless and the innocence to a lot of things push people to find a method of explanation. Those nonmainstream areas of inquiry such as astrology, fortune-telling and psychic occurred at that time. It helps people to diminish the feeling of helpless and the shame of innocence, give people mental confidence and peace. Furthermore, some mainstream science’s origin is based on so-called nonmainstream areas. For example, some alchemists become the inaugurator of the chemistry in the process of finding a medicine keeping people live forever. So the appearance of nonmainstream area is not only reasonable but also contribute to the born of science to some extent.
Even if we are living in a society with highly advanced science and technology, the importance of the nonmainstream areas should not be ignored. Firstly, we have to admit that there is still a large amount of people who cannot get science education. The mainstream science which is always profound seems to be hard for those people to understand. After all, collective life experience tells us the accuracy and complexity which is adored by scientist always becomes the barrier for us to accept. However, the nonmainstream area of inquiry which is comparative easier to understood supply them a mental shelter. Secondly, although the science nowadays could explains most of the things, there is still a lot of phenomenon puzzles people. As our ancestor does, when we can not explain using science, we turn our focus to the nonmainstream of area. It solves the anxiety when people face the unknown world.
In sum, admittedly science is the basis of the human society considering its great function in the history. Every moment we benefit from the things and ideas science brings to us. However, when it comes to the unknown world, the nonmainstream area of inquiry could comfort us, provides us peace and confidence.

Admittedly, the science is the greatest achievement of the human being, and contributes a lot in the process of the society's advance. The mainstream science solves our puzzles ？？？and brings us a better life. For instance science could tell us why there is male and female in this world,（这个没有搞懂啊？）science could provides us cool wind through air conditioner in the hot summer, （空调的例子比较有说服力）science could also make the convenience of the communication to the unheard of level. Everyone who lives in this society is enjoying the benefits that society brings to us. Therefore, most of the desires of human being are contented by science and the thriving society is also owe to it.
