31"Money spent on research is almost always a good investment, even when the results of that research are controversial."
提纲:agree
论点:在研究上合理的投资就是好投资,即便是研究的结果有争议
1 有争议的研究一般对社会影响较大,所以研究它是有重大意义的
2 对一个特定学科研究的投资促进本身学科的发展还促进相关学科的发展
3 不能过度投资于研究忽略其他
I fundamentally agree with the author that the investment in research is beneficial and helpful to the society, even the results of that research are controversial, and with elaborate and rational investment plan, the results of the research would significantly contribute to social improvement in some aspects.
Firstly, in most cases, the money spent on controversial research is always good investment. Considering the research of which the results are controversial in the level of society, the connotation and denotation of this research always involve a magnitude of information and knowledge in a certain subject and the matters peripheral to it or even interlaced subjects, and this kind of research generally presents a influential and profound significance in the level of society or an extremely complicate and intricate structure in the level of the research itself. I have the point above due to regarding the following reason: If the research, I assumed, has a minor influence or display a effortless-analyzed structure, the experts working on it would be relatively easy to reach a common sense and there is little probability to exist radical divarication making the research controversial. Accordingly, investment in such kinds of research is good because its production, in the aspect of economics, has profitable characteristic. For instance, the study in the artificial intelligence usually arouses controversy because perhaps someday the machine would exceed its designer, or frankly, human beings. However, many results from the AI research has been utilized in the practical applications, such as intelligent office automated system and intelligent anti-error system, which would save the labor force, thus engendering the higher profit, in the social sight, facilitating the mankind.
Additionally, because of the characteristics the research, especially what can arouse controversy, the process of the study would, to a great extent, promote the subject peripheral to it, or more specifically, the research itself relates to some interlaced subjects, and as a predictable result, promote the improvement of the society. Nowadays, fewer and fewer subjects present isolated figures, whatever the communication among the branches internally or respective subjects. The research in a certain subject would possibly catalyse the advancement of other subjects, for example, Non-Euclid geometry accelerating the development of the relativity theory branches of physics, so one certain research actually exhibits a multi-faceted value among subjects. And truthfully, the research that could bring controversy would certainly play the role of catalyst as other researches, for instance, in the 60s, the research of the H-bomb, which was highly concerned by the public, aroused a wide controversy whether there should be mass destructive nuclear weapons, and disregarding these controversies, this research largely boosted the development of physics, even benefits the inner investigation of black hole. Considering the fact above, the investment in this kind of research maybe cannot profit apparently, however, it is foresighted.
Finally, we cannot ignoring that the society is composed of numerous indispensable elements, if we place too much emphasis on the investment in research, on the one hand, there would be a waste because the research itself maybe don’t demand that huge amount of money, on the other hand, too much investment in research would counteract the development of other foundational elements of the society, such as commerce, public transportation, and sanitation, etc.
In sum, if we place the money in research scientifically and rationally, even its results remain controversial, the effect of it is very positive and would promote the improvement of the society in many aspects. (574words / 100 mins) |
