8.11 习作~
23) Governments should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the recommendation and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, describe specific circumstances in which adopting the recommendation would or would not be advantageous and explain how these examples shape your position.
To some extent, I agree with the recommendation that governments should put fewer restrictions on science. But what I also want to complement is that placing few restrictions does not means totally leaving science alone. Hence, in my opinion, governments should reduce restrictions, while, at the same times, they also need to pay attention to the research and development of science.
It is true that too many restrictions will impede not only the development of science, but also the improvement of countries. On one hand, governments know little about science. Because officials and scientists have different attentions, surely they will treat the same thing from different perspectives. What is crucial to scientists who put researches at the first place may not impress officials who mostly consider policy at first. Thus, some restrictions which are good for governments will lead to bad impacts on science. For example, since lacking in money for the commercial, governments will cut off the financial support of science. Nonetheless, without money, scientists cannot buy implements that are indispensable in researches and researches are hardly continued. If so, although the commercial is saved, science is sacrificed. Thus, over restrictions from governments may lead science into an incorrect direction. On the other hand, however, science is very significant to countries. Science can bring about new and sophisticated technologies, which can improve important parts of countries, like the commercial, the factories, the military and so on. These parts can develop countries wholly from aspects of the economy, the higher productivity and the defense. In this case, for gaining stronger power, governments should do their best to encourage science, not limit it. However, as I mention above, because of restrictions science will stop the pace of developing, and then impede the improvement of countries which governments represent of. Thus, governments should provide whatever they can to help science, not limit.
Nonetheless, at the some time, governments cannot totally leave science alone and let it to "develop" freely. There are some dangerous issues of science which may menace the safety of countries and citizens. To these issues, governments should pay more attention or even control them. Equally, from the aspects of science, these technologies, in themselves, are not wrong in that the duty of science is just finding and testing unknown things. As to the utilization of them, governments must take this reputation to control. To some issues that can challenge fundamental elements of society, like clone of human, governments should not permit. To some issues that can menace safety of countries, like nuclear weapons, governments should limit the use of them and take them apart of normal citizens. If not, society may be out of control. Thus, governments still have to pay proper attention to science so that it is in right direction.
All in all, to make sure science can develop as much as possible, governments have to diminish restrictions and do what the can to help science. Yet governments also should pay enough attention to the development so that science can develop in the direction of benefiting people. Only in this way can governments and science gain win-win situation as the same time.
