TOPIC: ISSUE(?) - "People who pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons are more likely to benefit the rest of the world than are people who try to act for the public good."

Should people pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons are more likely to benefit the rest of the world than those trying to act for the public good?(too nerves, and an explicit grammar error.) The speaker contends so. Although I concede that this assertion has numerous merits with respect to the area of science and the arts, I would like to take some exceptions in the field of politics.
Admittedly, in the realm of art, artists who place more value on the their self-centered goal are more likely to spur art progress. After all, art creation is a process of conveying the artist's unique aethestic(wrong) value, a product of the artist's visceral reactions, and a manifestation of the artist's spirit status. Too much concern on the benefit of others--making them understand his or her art works, the result is no doubt the disappearance of some seemingly eccentric but really innovative and creative works. Consider, for example, Van Gogh, a famous expressionist, employed a very abstract painting style, which confused a lot of people at his time. Had he concern more about the good of these people, it would be no doubt his forfeiture as the iconoclast of traditional rules of art composition and the world also lose a talent artist. Thus, it is the essence of art that determines that successful artists must give their own pursuits the highest priority.
Similarly, in the area of science, almost all the remarkable achievements are form a handful of resourceful scientists' intelligence and commitment which are motivated by their interests. A lot of breakthroughs in science did not resolve some urgent social problems but just satisfied scientists' insatiable craving for knowledge. For example, Newton's laws of mechanics did not mitigate the fatal plague in London at his time. Had he changed his research into medication, the world would have lost a great physicist, and he would also not be able to become a doctor--he was just interested in physics. And Einstein's theory of relativity contributed little to extricate people from the sufferings in the Second World War, but rendered people to better perceive the physical world around them. In short, scientists should be encouraged to place more value on their own goals.
However, when it comes to the political world, any politician who wants to elevate the well-being of the overall community should concern more about the good of the public, which, in turn will bring them reputation and honor. Consider some proeminent(wrong) political leaders that stimulate the social development. Martin Luther King, the famous leader in the civil rights movement, became immortal in all the African Americans' hearts because it was his efforts and persistence that helped them avoid the fate of being relegated to the backs of buses. And Nelson Mandala(wrong), the first president of South Africa, received widespread fame and dignity when he brought democracy and freedom to his country and his people. Without these two men's volition and courage to act for the public good, the fruition of democracy upon which any civilized society bases is a mere fiction.
To sum up, people should pursue their own interests in order to benefit the society in the area of science and art. However, in the realm of politics, people should concern more about the well-being of others. In short, the correctness of the speaker's assertion depends on a case-by-case analysis.
TOPIC: ARGUMENT51 - The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."

In order to justify the conclusion that all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain should take antibiotics as part of their treatment, the author cites a study of two groups of patients who are cured by two different doctors showing that the group ingesting antibiotics had a quicker recuperation. Although the author's recommendation appears to be somewhat convincing, a further reflection reveals some critical flaws in the line of reasoning in the argument.
A major problem in the argument is that the author takes for granted but without justification that the fast recuperation in the second(I make a mistake, it should be "first") group was attributable to the use of antibiotics. Lacking evidence to affirm this crucial assumption, it is entirely possible that Dr. Newland encouraged patients to take more exercise. Or perhaps patients took some other medicines together with antibiotics, and the former are the real cause for the fast restore from muscle strain. In short, without considering and eliminating all these and other possible reasons, the author can not convince me to accept the recommendation that antibiotics is effective in curing muscle strain.
Another problem in the argument is that the author unfairly assumes that all the conditions that affect the speed of recuperation in these two groups were similar enough. However, it might not be that case. Perhaps Dr. Newland were good at healing muscle strain, and this is very possible when the argument explicitly points out that he specializes in sports medicine. Or perhaps patients in these two groups had different extend of muscle strain. Either scenario, if true, will serve to undermine the author's recommendation that patients should take antibiotics as part of their treatment.
Before I come to my conclusion, it is necessary to point out another flaw in the argument--even if antibiotics contributed a lot to accelerate the process of recuperation, the author concludes too hastily that it can be applied to all the patients with muscle strain. The author overlooks the likelihood that antibiotics will have some side effects to some patients. The author also overlooks the possibility that some other kinds of medicine will be more efficacious in curing this disease. Therefore, to persuade me accept the recommendation, the author must ensure me that all these possibilities will not occur.
To sum up, the evidences in the argument are vague and incomplete, thus lends little credence to support the author's conclusion. To bolster it , the author needs to provide more concrete evidence to prove that antibiotics was responsible for the quick recovery from muscle strain. It would be useful to know that all the conditions in these two groups are similar enough. Also would be useful any information about the possible side effects of antibiotics and the effectiveness of other medicines. |
