Issue40 "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned withwhether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It ismore important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual oridiosyncratic those interests may seem."

People pursue their values in the society. Manyfamous scholars and researchers in the past fulfilled their goals and enjoyedeverlasting glories, like Newton with his three laws of motion, Darwin with his“The Original of Species”, Einstein with his theory of relativity and so forth.However, they are deeply remembered and honored by people because they made a greatcontribution to the society. Therefore, in my option, scholars and researchers shouldpursue their individual interests under the scope of social needs.

To begin with, as we know, people aresubject to the society. Since the birth of one people, he lives in thebehavioral norm of the society. When he is young, he goes to school to study tobe a person who could be useful to the society. When he is old enough andcapable enough, he takes a job and makes a living by himself. And also, he getsmarried and has offspring. As we can see, people are related to the largersociety in every aspect of his life. Thus, people’s behavior, including theresearch work and interests he pursuing, should not deviate from the socialneeds.

In addition, according to Maslow’s hierarchyof needs, the ultimate need of people is self-actualization, which is consideredto be the action of one person achieves his goal in the society. For one toaccomplish his self-actualization, people should pursue the things which are considereduseful to the society. As I mentioned above, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, they areall remembered by generation and generation because they made huge contributionsand led the development of society. Unless one’s work is acknowledged by thesociety, it would be nonsense and even nobody cares about it. How could someoneself-actualize himself without others’ appreciation?

However, to pursue one’s interests are alsocrucial for one’s achievements. Interests are the starting point of researchwork. Only through one’s interests in something, one could indulge himself inand let the passion of him last for a long time. Without the persistent enthusiasm,one could not face the setback or frustration in the research work which he isdoing and keep on digging in the essence of things no matter what kind ofdifficulty he might encounter. Most scientists spent their whole lives andexclude all the difficulties they encountered until they really made achievementsin scientific research. Just imagine if Stephen Hawking, who are so disabledthat he could only move three fingers, do not have interests in physics research,how he could make huge contribution in spite of his disability.


To sum up, the scholars and researchersshould be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the largersociety, for only through this way could people self-actualize himself
and simultaneously satisfy the needs of thesocial development. And also, pursuing interests is the best way for people to fulfillthemselves because really achievements and contributions require long hard work.

先改一篇了自己写。不提语言。

People pursue their values in the society. Manyfamous scholars and researchers in the past fulfilled their goals and enjoyedeverlasting glories, like Newton with his three laws of motion, Darwin with his“The Original of Species”, Einstein with his theory of relativity and so forth.However, they are deeply remembered and honored by people because they made a greatcontribution to the society. Therefore, in my option, scholars and researchers should pursue their individual interests under the scope of social needs.（三个例子占据了大部分篇幅却没有佐证你的观点，你的观点看起来有比较模糊，既提到interest的好处又在under the scope of social need. 不能看出你是想说明1.两者可以共存（事实性描述） 或者是 2.科研者应该怎么做（should型）最好说的明白一点。其实题目中的主语是社会如何评价，而不是说科学家该怎么做，可能有些朋友的理解有误区。后文继续看）

To begin with, as we know, people are subject to the society. Since the birth of one people, he lives in the be havioral norm of the society. When he is young, he goes to school to study tobe a person who could be useful to the society. When he is old enough and capable enough, he takes a job and makes a living by himself. And also, he getsmarried and has offspring. As we can see, people are related to the largersociety in every aspect of his life. Thus, people’s behavior, including theresearch work and interests he pursuing, should not deviate from the socialneeds.
（这个是想说作为社会的一员，人不应该deviate from the social needs（搭配感觉有点问题，d和n？）吧，例子没有分析啊，我来写的话估计会写a mutual relationship between an individual and the whole society.之举一件事请说明人和社会的具体的影响，这段里面没有提影响，只说了做了什么）



In addition, according to Maslow’s hierarchyof needs, the ultimate need of people is self-actualization, which is consideredto be the action of one person achieves his goal in the society. For one toaccomplish his self-actualization, people should pursue the things which are considereduseful to the society. As I mentioned above, Newton, Darwin, Einstein, they areall remembered by generation and generation because they made huge contributionsand led the development of society. Unless one’s work is acknowledged by the society, it would be nonsense and even nobody cares about it. How could someoneself-actualize himself without others’ appreciation?
（依旧是例子的分析，感觉空洞了。
而且这个观点本身貌似有点问题，像这种不是太普遍认同的观点要么就不写，要写就分析透彻了出彩。）

However, to pursue one’s interests are alsocrucial for one’s achievements. Interests are the starting point of researchwork. Only through one’s interests in something, one could indulge himself inand let the passion of him last for a long time. Without the persistent enthusiasm,one could not face the setback or frustration in the research work which he isdoing and keep on digging in the essence of things no matter what kind ofdifficulty he might encounter. Most scientists spent their whole lives andexclude all the difficulties they encountered until they really made achievementsin scientific research. Just imagine if Stephen Hawking, who are so disabledthat he could only move three fingers, do not have interests in physics research,how he could make huge contribution in spite of his disability.
（例子。。。我就不重复了。本来以为作者会重点谈两者的通融性的，不过作者还是很中规中矩的写的。这样的话开头完全可以把自己的观点提出来把栗子省略了吧。。还有就是逻辑上的起承转合不大明显。）

To sum up, the scholars and researchersshould be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the largersociety, for only through this way could people self-actualize himself
and simultaneously satisfy the needs of thesocial development. And also, pursuing interests is the best way for people to fulfillthemselves because really achievements and contributions require long hard work.
（这个其实可以放在开头的，我觉得啊）

另外说一下，仅供参考，我现在也刚刚开始写了几篇。。。

Thanks to the development of science andtechnology, people nowadays could live a better life with the aid of Internet andsatellite. When it comes to the problem whether these contributions by scholarsand researchers were carried out based upon their individual interests or not arousesdissident debates. Admittedly, the importance of a research cannot be figuredout by the ostensible parameters at first glance, however, interests do play anindispensible role in this process.

To begin with, it is, more often than not,impossible to judge the value of a study or research for two reasons. First, atthe very beginning of each work, it remains obscure and uncertain, even theresearchers themselves are confused about the real function of his work, letalone layperson. Consider, a baby, for example, when it just comes to thisworld, how can we predict the contribution it may have to the whole societyafter decades of years. By the same token, it is unfair to evaluate a study atits commencement. Second, many theoretical researches are probably functionedas basis instead of conducing to the society directly. However, theircontribution, without which all newly-development is infeasible, can never be forgotten.That is the way these theories attribute to the society as a whole. For example,Einstein's theory of relativity invites little use to the daily life, however,it serves as the foundation of a myriad of recent research.

To step forward, individual interest is a moreimportant factor for a scientist when they choose their topics. Everyone hastheir own interests, especially in childhood, however, it becomes fewer andfewer with ones' growth, as a sacrifice to the society. The majority of peopleadapt themselves into the needs of life, throwing their “true love” away.Moreover, some people may argue that interests provide no use other thanimpulsion which pushes a person into a rampant condition. Even though thisirrational interest might result in tragedy, the advantages of interests faroutweigh its disadvantages. It is this kind of impulsion that helps thescholars or researchers to stick to and finally fulfill their dreams. Withoutthis impulsion, Nobel may give up his explosion experiment after loss his wifeand children; without this impulsion, Da Vince may cease drawing the eggs afterhis 10th trials; without this impulsion, Copernicus may rather yield to the fallacyof earth-centric cosmology. But they don’t and succeed at last, with theirconviction and passion to their beloved masterpieces.

However, all scholars and researchersshould never be addicted to their work, irrespective of the potential detrimentit may bring out. These days, some scientists are keen on the study of cloningtechnology, which may invite a serious ethnic problem. Besides the interestsand curiosity, many scientists pursue the considerable profit behind thisresearch, in spite of the notorious fame in the wake of. Therefore, not untilhuman being can tackle this inevitable morality difficulty, scientists shouldsuppress their interests and curiosity in control, on behalf of the well-beingof others. Only with the ability to judge just from unjust, a scientist can ascendhimself to a hero, being admired after thousands of years.

To sum up, scholars and researches shouldnever pay too much attention to the actual contribution of their work for itsimpossibility. Besides, what they should hold is their interest on their studyand research, which turns out to be just.
