"Such non-mainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science."

对社会的危害远大于它的作用
1.使人们满足现状，寄托来生；不能从根本解决社会问题
2.掩盖真理，阻碍社会的进步，耗费社会资源。

The speaker’s statements seems correct in some of its details, while in my point of view is quite incorrect and dangerous as a whole. I concede that such non-mainstream areas of inquiry indeed have advantages in satisfying human needs, which could play a vital role in society by making the society stable for a little period of time. While it is just these advantages which, in the long run, will surely do tremendous harm to the development of society, and even ruin it.

We all know that astrology and fortune-telling, which serve in telling people that everything has been doomed in destiny, are pseudoscience and fundamentally unreasoning. People who lives a poor life or involves in trouble with no knowledge and method which could lead them out might believe in it, which could tell them what to do, fill them with confidence, giving them the feeling that they are not alone and make them relaxed, though it is irrational. For the individuals, the statements they get from fortune-telling or something could fill their hearts with hope and expectation, by which they could survive. But it is not real science, which could solve the problems effectively. For most of the case, it just make the individuals get through by putting the problems aside unsolved, which might break up again in other individuals, when the problems accumulated to some extent. So for the whole society, all kinds of pseudoscience are cheats, who delay the development of the society.

Another, the widespread non-mainstream areas of inquiry could lay quantities of barricades in front of society development and also consume lots of social fortune. In some remote mountain areas in China, there have been thousands of biers suspended in the holes of the cliffs, which were not allowed to get in and even touch for hundreds of years for the reason that they may have something to do with the deity, who would ruin the village if they got touched. It was not until that someone who accidentally got into one of them did they reveal the secret of them, thus discovered the ancient cultural treasure. Also, nowadays, many in China believe that family members who have gone away could bless them in another world, so that they burn paper money for the dead every year, which cost huge materials and money and also cause air pollution.

To sum up, non-mainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits bring more harms to the society than goods they might do. We should try our best to develop mainstream science so that they solve more and more social problems rather than pin our hope on such irrational non-mainstream science.

首先感谢300给小弟的意见. 我语法知识基本没有. 努力中ING...对300的文章我实在是不敢妄下评语,
怎么讲,语法肯定不过关, 很多我也发现不了(本人太差), 6分作文中的两条: 流畅,标准和地道的英语 肯定谈不上. 总体结构清晰,知道该写什么.(我不行). 论证例子稍嫌少了点.   

一句话,大家一起努力把...
