TOPIC: ISSUE69 - "Government should place few, if any, restrictions on scientific research and development"

(1)科学研究和发展的作用:最终是为了人类更好的生活。
(2)政府的限制是什么?对研究的领域、研究的范围、研究的方法有限制,符合上述标准。
(3)有些科学家为了得到结果不择手段A为了经济效益,不顾其他影响。比如转基因食品,只为了更好吃,能吸引消费者,但是没有考虑到基因污染,对健康的影响。比如研究武器 B为了达到研究目的,研究方法不择手段。研究动物,破坏居住环境,破坏食物链
(4)而如果不管,任其发展,将会导致严重的后果
Scientific research and development aim to search the nature and improve technology, bringing about better life to human beings. Its essential goal is to make people understand the world they live in and bring convenience and luxury to people's lives. However, some scientific research has challenged the aim above and will trigger negative influence to people's lives. As for these research and development, government is responsible to lay restrictions.
Since government has responsibility to protect its people and lead the society to better destiny, they should place restrictions on scientific research and development in any realm. From my perspective, government must confine the methods that scientists use to research and the area of scientific research and development to the standard that all research should be accordance with the essential aim to conduce to people's lives.
Nowadays, some scientists tend to pursue scientific achievement by all means. As the economy has become the key to society, a proportion of scientists are conducting research in order to make economic profits, regardless of other effects to society. With the motivation of profits, they tend to develop all areas, [不确定可不可以这样说,但总觉得很别扭啊。好像是develop something in all areas?]including the controversial ones. Biologists now are researching how to create food for human beings. With the technology of transplanting genes, they are able to create fruit and vegetables in gigantic size and attractive colors, poultries with a large portion of meat. It seems that these economical and beneficial foods would attract customers and thus bring enormous profits. But the side effects of the foods are ignored by the researchers. Without examining whether the transplanted genes would trigger disease or not, the food has been put into market. Furthermore, motivated by curiosity, some scientists are devoted to research human cloning, which is against ethics and trigger disastrous effects to society and human civilization. If no restrictions are set to the research area, people’s lives would be in danger, since they may eat unsafe food and do not know where the future would be led to by scientists.
[第一个转基因的例子好像比较假,如果对健康造成危害又怎么会随便上市呢?可以这么说,转基因可能对环境造成危害,但商家不考虑这点,随便上市。这样似乎更合乎情理一些。另外这段trigger用得比较多,可以换一个词啦,表示这个意思的词挺多的。]
The research method they use should also be restricted. In order to achieve goals, some scientists would take harmful methods, without any consideration of the destructive results. To research the Antarctic area, scientists in large numbers came to the continent. Their constructions and research along with trashes they produced have been damaging the fragile ecological environment there. The same situation has happened to Arctic area and Mount Everest, which would directly affect the global climates. Threatened by the dangers of flood, hurricane, stormy as well as global warming, how could government permit scientists do whatever they like? [前半句的主语呢?是谁threatened by …?]Nowadays, some researchers even conduct medical experiments on some poor people after paying them large fortune, which seems a reasonable trade, but the failing results turn out to be murder which is totally against justice. Since the ethics can only criticize the behavior but can not punish it, it is government's responsibility to restrain such immoral scientific research and development.
[例子很不错~让我想到了我以前看到的例子:现在大部分国家都有立法来规定实验中的动物使用,尽量避免使用动物,不可避免时也应该严格控制实验条件等尽量使动物不至于死得太痛苦。]
Thus, restriction must be set by government in order to assure the results of scientific research and development would always benefit society and contribute to people’s better life. Government has duties to recognize the dangers brought by science and technology and prevent them before it is too late. If the choice is left to the marketplace and scientists’ will, a variety of new research products would appear, changing people’s lives where we are no longer human beings.
As people without restriction of laws would have no virtue but evil, scientific research and development without any restriction set by government would not bring better life but dark and desperate future. In conclusion, government must restrict the methods and areas of scientific research and development to guarantee the improvement of society.
思路和逻辑都很好,文笔也很流畅。有几个小错误都列在文章里了。写得很不错哈~ |
