Some scientists are responsible for the negative impacts that made by their discoveries, what do you think?
Since the Industry Revolution, so many new technologies and innovations come into our daily life. Our living is more convenient and comfortable than any other period of time in the past.
However, when we are enjoying the benefits of these inventions, have we seen the negative effects for us? Are the scientists responsible for the bad impacts that made by their discoveries? In my opinion, it is unfair for them to responsible for these terrible consequences.
Some inventions we cannot imagine before become true today. With the refrigerator, we can store food for a long time and take it out whenever we want. With the air conditioner, we need not to suffer the scorching weather in summer and chill wind in winter. But the raw materials they used can make a serious threat to our atomsphere. This is found after a long period of time, the scientists might not know the bad impacts of those inventions, if they knew early, things will not be so bad today.
We all know that DDT, the colorless chemical pesticide, it's inventor won the Nobel Price because DDT can kill almost all kinds of insects in the crop, for some extent, it protected the plants and incresed the productivity. However, with the publication of the American marine biologist Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962, suspicion grew that DDT, by entering the food chain and eventually concentrating in higher animals, caused reproductive dysfunctions, such as thin eggshells in some birds. Some insect pests also gradually developed DDT-resistant strains whose populations grew unchecked while their natural predators, such as wasps, were being eradicated by spraying. From this point of view, DDT brings us more disasters than benefits. While, the inventor's primary idea was to save more crops and plants which can feed more people. And he didn't know what will be going on.Thus, we have no reasons to blame the scientists or the inventors.
As the society getting complicated increasingly, some people may develop these inventions toward bad directions. It doesn't matter with the original scientists. Thus, in my point of view, I think the scientists and inventors should not be responsible for the negative effects laterly. |
