ISSUE 40
Should scholars and researchers pay more attention on their individual interests than whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society as the author clam? I concede that the individual interests are important part of our life, but we need soceity responsibility to restrict scholars and researchers study eara.
I agree with the author insofar as scholars and researchers should pay attention on their individual interest. As I see it, there are two fundamental reasons support my pionts. First of all, the individual interests would promote great motive to resume the study. “Interest is one of the best teacher”, which is a chinese saying shows that interest is a improtant stimulus for working energetically and efficienty. Take Copernicus, who is a Polish astronomer for example. Copernicus originally studied medical science and had become interested in astronomy later. He wrote a book dealing with heliocentric theory, which is a advanced theory that earth and other planets revolve around the sun, disrupting the Ptolemaic system of astronomy. And more important, this theory has dramaticly changed people’s faith at that time. Secondly, Scholars and researchers are very important groups of our soceity . They have been sudtying the the old theories for advancing new science, and putting them into application later, thus they individual interests determined the denstiy of society.
Although it is important that one pursuits its individual interets, but especially for shcolars and researchers they can’t be allowed regardless of their effects to the society. As an individual in society, we may be engaged in ourselve individual interests generally not considering the contribution, for the result of this interest will have no effects on society. However, as scholars and researchers, their any behavior is going to be noticed by many people because of their occupation. So they must considers about the effects to our wourld. There is a ethical issue of great importance on cloning human is what scholars and reserachers studying area will be the adversely consequences of it if it was acutully successful. This idea of cloning human has fueled debate all over the world. I believe that it is not morally and ethically right to clone humans. Even though technology is constantly advancing, it is not reasonable to believe that human cloning is morally and ethically correct, due to the killing of human embryos, the unsafe process of cloning, and the resulting of having deformed clones.
As a matter of fact, it is evident that social responsibility necessarily outweigh individual interests. When deciding whether commence a study, researchers should take social factors into consideration. Whether this research is benefited to the whole society, whether most of people will benefit form the consequence of that research, can the research destroy our environments, because we are a part of the society and the society need the contribution of us. The environment need our protection, the improvement of lives need our common efforts, etc. On the contrary, if researchers hold that individual interests take precedence over social responsibilities, he may contaminate the environments heavily, exploits the resources inprovidently, and destroy the forest greatly, all of which have already done great harm to the mankind. therefore, there is an urgent need that we should cease such behaviors and commit to social responsibilities.
In conclusion, It is wrong that scholars and researchers hold on their individual interests when they engaged in the research to society. We want limit to shcolars and researchers individual interests so that will makes a contribution to our society. |
