Issue 69:
"Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development."
What is scientific research intended for? To improve people's life standards by enjoying science-related conveniences, I think, is one of the best answers. In my opinion, it is such criteria, whether can bring about benefits, that be adopted for making judgements: whether or not, government should place restricions on scientific research and development. We cannot make a sweeping statement about this question, since it depends on different situations. [issue写作首句最好不要用疑问句,估计你是收了中文写作的影响吧?另外,首段一般是大家比较容易掌握的部分,但我不知道你是故意想别出心裁还是什么原因,首段读来磕磕绊绊,没有连接,一直到最后一句才看出你的论点。建议把北美范文拿来背10个开头,把套路一定要掌握。]
In some cases, government should not tamper too much with progress of science, if not, it may make for misleading scientific progress into an improper direction, or even encumber headway in science , therefore hampering advance of the whole society. Some historical events have proved this saying. Charles Robert Darwin was a famous English naturalist who claimed that all species of life have descended over time from common ancestors and proposed a scientific theory, which he called natural selection, resulting in branching pattern of evolution. Unfortunately, in that era, all the society was controled by Christian church, including the rulling class. They treated this theory totally as a freak, labeling heterodox thought on it. As time went by, it turned out Darwin was right and it was then government and religious leaders who impeded science and society moving ahead. Here is a similar story about Nicolaus Copemicus, who was a Renaissance astronomer and the first person to formulate a comprehensive heliocentric cosmology. His theory displaced the statement that Catholic church belived in: Earth was the center of the universe, and therefore was rejected by the government under the control of religion. In addition, with the collapse of Roman imperial authority in Christian Europe, , the study of dissection became localised because of religious government, which was obstructive to the development of anatomy.
From all the typical cases mentioned above, we can find out that government may be not wise enough for some particular reasons. A religion-controlled government evaluated new scientific theories or reserches from a religious view,whose benchmark is whether fit for the dogma, not the fact. If such governments' will dominate science, it will be definitely unfavourable for human advancement in both science and society. [上2段你想说政府不能管太多,那我就拿你的达尔文例子来说吧,这个例子应该改写成这样:政府不停的干涉达尔文的科研,造成达尔文颗粒无收;但后来政府换届后不再限制,结果达尔文想出了“进化论”,云云。但你的例子是达尔文已经发表了进化论,结果政府不承认——但这不代表政府干预了达尔文做研究的时候啊。所以总得来说,这个例子举的不是很合适,更好的例子的主体应该是政府。]
However, not interfering too much doesn't mean never stepping into. Everything has two sides, containing science. Science can be benifical to human beings and also can ba fatal to us, so in this situation we need government to supervise in an appropriate way. Should we do everything that our science and technology can achieve? Here are some big events in history and you will find out the answer. From 1932 until 1972, the US public Health Service conducted a study in which 399 impoverished blask men diagnosed with syphilis were monitored to record the natural history of that disease. This study was controversial for reasons concerning ethical standards, primarily bacause investigators refused to heal patients appropriately after the 1940s validation of penicillin therapy as an effective cure for the disease. This is the notorious scandal, Tuskegee Study. Although the stude of syphilis' natural history was very important scientific materials for treating this disease, it really crossed the line of ethics at the expense of letting almost 400 people die unfeelinly. If government had basic interdance to the research, such villainous event shouldn't have happened. As for embryonic stem cell research, it also required government's interdance by reason of the likelihood going against basic ethics.
Without supervision from government to scientific research, some scientists may focus merely on their own works, regardless of contravention of the moral, and may even do something baleful to the public. Especially in our time, possessing advanced technology and refined apparatuses,like nuclear weapon, clone technic, chemical and biological weapons, etc, if one of them is out of control, the whole human beings may be decimated, bringing about the most terrible catastrophe.
On one hand, with too much interference to scientific development, science may get into the bog and become stagnant, and on the other, without any supervision to scientific progress, it may turn into a cold-blooded killer and result in fatal calamity. So what should we.do? I think is to find the balance between two sides and take advantage of science to establish our society more modernized. [结尾的问题和开头一样。]
sinbad: 很抱歉,这个题目我自己一时也想不出很好的例子来启发你,只是读了你的例子后觉得支持的不是很好。。。。 我就说下语言吧, 你用了不少生僻词,有几个我还不认识,但是更多基本的表达方式和句式都仍然不够娴熟,不知道你是不是查红宝书写作的,呵呵。最好的掌握写作词汇和用法的办法是查英英词典和读北美范文,如果某个词是中英查来的,一定还要用英英再查一遍,手一定要勤。 |
