Issue 69
Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development

The speaker asserted that government should not limit the scientific study and development. This claim seems specious when we catch a first glimpse of it. However, after scrutiny I disagree with what the speaker concludes for some reasons which don’t support his claim. We should keep the technology development at a rational pace, not too fast or slow.

Admittedly, people benefit from the high-technology and the development of the society. Just looking back 100 or 200 years ago, we will find there is a significant difference between the living condition at that time and the condition now after three revolutions in technology. People live longer and healthier; the world looks smaller by the application of mobile phones and laptops. They all should be owed to the scientific research and development. But it doesn’t mean that the fewer or more restrictions placed by government, the better for people and society.

To begin with, over high-speed development of the scientific research may cause moral and social problems. Hollywood’s firm has made so many assumptions for these problems. film“” in which Will Smith play a role shows a picture of what will take place possibly in the future and gave us a question about how to treat with the robots if one day these machines have intellection.
And what about clone? After enjoying the highlight of the film, we may get into deep thought. We should be concerned about these carefully, if not, the calamities which are played in the firm may come true one day.

Then developing too slow on technology is not good either. According to Maslow’s need theory, people will not be satisfied with the basic physiological need. The development of scientific research will help people accomplish their own values. A sentence in the book “world is flat” impressed me that the revolution will not take place when the government don’t develop but when the government develop not so fast. So combine the Maslow’s theory and the sentence, the antique thinking that people will topple the government only when they cannot feed themselves should be changed. Developing too slow will also cause this problem.

Finally, an unbalanced development will lead to worldwide conflicts between countries. In 19th century, the world likes a powder magazine because some countries develop too fast that they conquered other countries while some countries develop too slow that they were colonized. The difference in the scientific research development speed of different countries will become an unstable factor in the world just as the history proceeded in the past.

To sum up, government should be concerned more about the balance in development of scientific research, not the issue whether should place few or more restrictions on development.

The speaker asserted that government should not limit the scientific study and development. This claim seems specious when we catch a first glimpse of it. However, after scrutiny I disagree with what the speaker concludes for some reasons which don’t support his claim.（如果是不同意的话就一定是反对意见的，所以后面的which don’t support his claim多余了） We should keep the technology development at a rational pace, not too fast or slow （不快也不慢，觉得这句话不能这样表达，但也想不出好的词来）.

Admittedly, people benefit from the high-technology and the development of the society. Just looking back 100 or 200 years ago（中式英语有点，还是dating back to 1800s）, we will find there is a significant difference between the living condition at that time and the condition now after three revolutions in technology. People live longer and healthier; the world looks smaller by the application of mobile phones and laptops. They all should be owed to the scientific research and development. But it doesn’t mean that the fewer or more restrictions placed by government, the better for people and society.

To begin with, over high-speed (over-speed) development of the scientific research may cause moral and social problems. Hollywood’s firm(films) has(have) made so many assumptions for these problems. film“” in which Will Smith plays a role(删了，直接写电影名吧，没看过，我也不知道) shows a picture of what will take place possibly in the future and gave us a question about how to treat with the robots if one day these machines have intellection. And what about clone ? After enjoying the highlight of the film, we may get into deep thought. We should be concerned about these carefully, if not, the calamities which are played in the firm may come true one day.

Then developing too slow on technology is not good either. According to Maslow’s need theory, people will not be satisfied with the basic physiological need. The development of scientific research will help people accomplish their own values. A sentence in the book “world is flat” impressed me that the revolution will not take place when the government don’t develop but when the government develop not so fast. So combine the Maslow’s theory and the sentence （改成the opinion from Thomas L. Friedman）, the antique thinking that people will topple the government only when they cannot feed themselves should be changed. Developing too slow will also cause this problem.

Finally, an unbalanced development will lead to worldwide conflicts between countries. In 19th century, the world likes a powder magazine because some countries developed too fast that they conquered other countries while some countries developed too slow that they were colonized. The difference in the scientific research development speed of different countries will become an unstable factor in the world just as the history proceeded in the past. (因为这个理由那么发达的国家就应该去控制科技发展没有说服力，因为本身更多的人性的贪婪造成的，和科学也没有太多的关系，而且现实中也不可能的)

To sum up, government should be concerned more about the balance in development of scientific research, not the issue whether should place few or more restrictions on development.

(觉得最大的问题是审题，政府一般不会因为科学发展的快和慢来限制科学研究的，而且科学发展的快和慢也不是完全可以在政府的控制之下的，主要原因还是伦理和国家安全的角度去考虑才会去限制（比如人体干细胞带来的道德底线的冲击；以及限制一些外国科学家的移民），因此整个论证就都站不住脚了，也就是讲的是一个伪问题)
