Issue 31, research和政府投入的关系,欢迎大家拍砖:)
"Money spent on research is almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial."
I fundamentally agree with the speaker's allegation in that investment on research is generally proved to be a wise action for the government, whereas the speaker unnecessarily extends the claim to embrace all kinds of research even in the event that the results of it are highly controversial.(开头不错 ,观点明确)
To begin with, investment on research usually greatly benefits human beings as well as the society as a whole, either in philosophical or practical sides. As we know, research is the exploration towards the unknown world, in which humans pursue the lasting answers for questions and quest effective solutions to enduring problems. It is through research that knowledge of human beings is gradually accumulating(应该用被动吧); thereby indisputably it is worthwhile to expend money on research in the long term.
On the other hand, research also significantly promotes science technology advancement, which no doubt greatly improves the quality of human life. An example which aptly illustrates this goes to genetic engineering. It can be used not only in the field of agriculture to avert the occurrence of worldwide starvation and famine, but also in the medical realm in order to aid humans in the battle against diseases. For that matter, the research on genetic engineering is no doubt valuable for it leads to promising future of the whole humans. This case properly points out that it is worthwhile for government to invest on research owing to its potential benefits to the society.
Whereas as for some researches, whose objectives are too vague or results are very controversial, government should hold a circumspect attitude. There are two arguments lie in my viewpoint. The first one involves the other pressing social problems at current time. After all, expensive research generally means high expenditure on money, which might turn out to be a better use for addressing society's immediate problems such as unemployment, drug uses, violence and so forth. The other one has to do with the probable harm brought by certain results of research. For instance, while one might argue that the research on radioactivity provides us with effective means of cancer treatment, dating ancient objects, modern genetic and so forth, the argument flies in the face of severe environment pollution caused by these radioactive chemicals. In this sense, humans invest on research and actually take a risk, that is to say, government should be cautious when deciding on the investment on research.
In short, government should be encouraged to expend money on research, which conduces to the advancement of humans’ knowledge and has great impact on the improvement of human life. Nevertheless, as research, being controversial, also brings unpredictable results, government should weigh the benefits and prices of research before a wise decision on the investment is made.
感觉楼主写的挺好的,思路清晰,结构完整,限时能写这样已经不错了。个人觉得二、三可以合为一段 ,都是讲研究的必要性 |
