【i原文】If you are a normal person living a house which is not solid but can stand normal rain and wind, what will do? Do the things coinside with your own interest or to fix the house?
It is the problem, most of us ,graduate, the future scholars and researchers,will face in the foreseeable future, that is should scholars and researchers pose more attention to the contribution of the society or to the pursuit of individual interests.
The speaker prefers to do the interesting things, however unusaul or idiosyncratic they may seem. However, as the complexity of the problem, it is unwise to give an simple choice. Generally, we should pursue our individual interests. However, in extreme condition, the contribution to the society should be prior.

In peace time, such as the current environment of America, the pursuit of individual interests do not contradict with the contribution to the larger society.When pursuing their individual interests, the value of the scholars and researchers are maxisized, because the interests provide them with the passion to overcome the obstacle that others cannot,
and the inspiration and sweat to become a true genius in their own field. Because of these, their contributions to society are commonly remarkable and unique, which demonstrate their unreplacable roles to the society. For example, can imagine Stephen Hawking standing for England participate in the Special Olympics? It is obvious both the Hawking and the government will not agree. Although Hawking's intellect can help England to won more medals, the cost of the progress of the science of England is invaluable.

However, in extreme conditions, such as wars and disasters, scholars and researchers should take the contribution to the society as priority. Just like the analogy in the beginning of the issue, when earthquake comes, the person has to fix the house first. Without the house to reside, the person also lose the opportunity to do interesting things. Similarly, without the society to supply food, house and so forth, to guarantee the continosity of the research, the purpose the research also lose its meaning. That's why in the World War II, brave American choose to protect the territry and fight with the enemy of their homeland. Many of them are scholars and researchers, including Bobe Luke, writter of Associated Press, famous for the book, "helmit for pillow" which then promoted his career.


One the other hand, when the pursuit of individual interests impedes the progress of the society, scholars and researchers, should give them up regardless of regret.

In sum, we should take a balance.

In peace time, such as the current environment of America, the pursuit of individual interests does not contradict with the contribution to the larger society. When pursuing their individual interests, the value of the scholars and researchers are maximized, because the interests provide them with the passion to overcome the obstacle that others cannot, and the inspiration and sweat to become a true genius in their own field. Because of these, their contributions to society are commonly remarkable and unique, which demonstrate their unrepeatable roles to the society. For example, can imagine Stephen Hawking standing for England participates in the Special Olympics? It is obvious both the Hawking and the government will not agree. Although Hawking's intellect can help England to won more medals, the cost of the progress of the science of England is invaluable.

However, in extreme conditions, such as wars and disasters, scholars and researchers should take the contribution to the society as priority. Just like the analogy in the beginning of the issue, when earthquake comes, the person has to fix the house first. Without the house to reside, the person also loses the opportunity to do interesting things. Similarly, without the society to supply food, house and so forth, to guarantee the continuity of the research, the purpose the research also lose its meaning. That's why in the World War II, brave American choose to protect the territory and fight with the enemy of their homeland. Many of them are scholars and researchers, including Robert Luke, column writer of Associated Press, famous for the book, "helmet for my pillow", describing his experience in Pacific War, which then promoted his career.


One the other hand, when the pursuit of individual interests impedes the progress of the society, scholars and researchers, should give them up regardless of regret. Without steady society, with death and disease haunted around, individual has no choice but to struggle to survive. Thus without the steady society, there is no sense to discuss of the research, let alone the value of the individual interest. Such scientists researching weapons for terrorists should halt their work when realizing the chaos and unrest resulted from the research of their interests, which also destroy the future of themselves. It is not only unusual and idiosyncratic, but also unethical and unreasonable.


In sum, disagreeing with the speaker, we should take a balance of individual interest and the contribution. When the society enjoys the peace, individual interest should be our first choice. However, when the environment or our pursuit undermines the steadiness of the society, we should yield precedence to the contribution to the society.
