〓DIES IN FLAMS〓 Issue119 by jessicalulu
119"Whenresearch priorities are being set for science, education, or any otherarea, the most important question to consider is: How many people'slives will be improved if the results are successful?"
With the development of the society and economic boom, agrowing body of technological achievements emerged dealing with aseries of problems which were closely associated with our daily lives.A very important aspect of research is investing, including humanresources, material resources and so on. The result of that is weshould arrange our limited resources reasonable. But, if we evaluatethe research priorities by “how many people’s lives improved”, theresult is likely to inequitable, because it is hard to define “theimproved lives” or accurate statistics on the number of improved livesat all. I think Research priorities should continue in areas that social benefits are clear and immediate, or at least, predictable.
(题目关键词抓的很到位,观点比较鲜明,就是觉得第一段长了点)
Firstly, we cancompare the situation between two different fields. It may difficult tobuild a standard between them because they often have differentresearch background, methods and aims. For example, in the area ofeducation and medicine, both of them have far-reaching effects on a lotof people. The aim of educational research is to make our educationmore accepted and reasonable by the public, to give the greatestadvantage to the public and so on. They mainly resolve the problems ofstudents who need knowledge to improve their lives. On the other hand,medicine is an area that aims to find the way to cure people's diseaseand pains, to disclose the mechanism of the diseases, and to sustainthe physical and physiological balance of human beings. When theydecide to start a research project, both of their aims are always thesame, that are ameliorating people's lives. Both of them can help greatgroups of people, even the past, contemporary and later. So it isimpossible to calculate the real number that a research can benefit to。From above, we can see that it is hard to decide which one should be set for priority between them
Secondly, we cansurvey the status in the same area. When an institution choose todevelop a new medicine, one is a new drug which is target to gastritis,and the other is target to gastric cancer. As we all know, theincidence of gastritis is higher than gastric cancer. If we decide toresearch and produce the former but not the later one, of course we canhelp more people get rid of the troubles.
But the gastric cancer brings more pains and severe outcomes to people,even death, it badly disturbs people’s living qualities. So, if we caninvent a drug which can cure or alleviate the process of the disease tosome extent, it may make a great progress not only to people’s livesbut also to the whole scientific fields. What’s more, some researchesmay have little help to their own subject, but it may greatly impact onother areas. So it indirectly impact a lot of people, how can we judgewhich research takes the most important effect? Above all, the actuallynumber that peoples’ lives improved is hard to calculate, and itdepends on what kind of rules you take.
Furthermore,even if the results of researches are progressive, can it be used as away to decrease the happiness of the people? Environment problems,which become the most significant issues that without handled correctlythey will in turn kill the lives of ourselves as a human being, are thecontraproductive of the profitable fast development of technology,which ] now threaten the whole species of the biosphere. The Three Millnuclear leakage is another case in point. Such examples are so numerousthat it is impossible for me to list them out. Therefore, it ispointless to set priorities at the researches.
To sum up, researchis always an adventure, when we decide which research is a priority, wecannot only depend on the number of people whose lives improved, butalso the extent the researches can affect our lives, their potentiallasting value, the possibility that can promote social development andso on.
你的观点是:由于生活的提高质量和数量都不易测评,所以研究最好把锁定在能对人们的生活产生迅速,至少可以预测的影响的领域,不过貌似只看到论证前半部分的,没有看到后半部分的,觉得应该两方面都论证一下更好一些,更有说服力。还有就是文章感觉全部都是例子,稍微来点说理论证会更好一些~~文章层次很清晰,结构分明,学习一下~~ |
