TOPIC: ISSUE40 - "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."

The speaker asserts that it is more important that scholars and researchers pursue their individual interests; even these interests seem unusual or idiosyncratic. While this assertion overlooks some certain aspects that undue freedom on research may harmful to a society. I fundamentally agree with the speaker for the reason that interests are the most important factor to academic field.

In the very beginning, concerning about the economic rewards and the societal beneficiaries whether a scientific accomplishment could bring will undoubtedly impede the advance of technology. For one reason that people always do not know the potential benefits of the scientific accomplishments, innovations are always surpass to our contemporary society, also, they may create a immense contribution in some further far from we can see. Additionally, these kinds of concerning might rise a tremendous disaster. For example, consider the situation that all the scientists care about how big they contribute to a society, they could likely to give up their own interests but turn to a research in the problem which intensely under the spotlight of the media. In granting this premise, our society will ensure have more troubles in a later time, because no one concentrates these problems which seem not important in the beginning.

Secondly, it is the interest, which plays a basic but vital role especially when it comes to the scientific realms, retrospect the history of human endeavor, there are plenty of example to show us that our scientists who have gain the significant success are all likely to have a big interesting in the subject which they study in. Copernicus with the passion in astronomy, he persists on his theory of heliocentric system which was absolutely wrong in the years that he lived, With the interests in physics, Galileo does not give up the research when he was blindness. Moreover, many discovers are coming from the idiosyncratic or unusual ideas, an incisive example to support my position is Einstein’s special and general theories of relativity. Almost no one can understand what the theory is in the beginning. But now, the theories are regarded as the most satisfactory model of the large-scale universe that we have.
On the other hand, the discussion above does not mean the research could be freedom in any case. Those working for a harmful purpose should not be encouraged, and suitable restrictions should be put. Such as the issue of place endeavor in making computer virus. Moreover, even when the research is disputable, government should have a deeper discussion on whether it could be supported For instance, we should make a discreetly decision on the question of whether to investigate in weapons of mass destruction, nuclear devices, and so forth.

In sum, our society should not place concerned on whether the scientific result could contribute to a society, for it was not the effective way to judge the ultimate value of a research, Furthermore, except the circumstance that some motivation may harm to the society, the enthusiasm was the important guidance which led scientists to success.

TOPIC: ISSUE40 - "Scholars andresearchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes acontribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue theirindividual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."

The speaker asserts that it is moreimportant that scholars and researchers pursue their individual interests; eventhese interests seem unusual or idiosyncratic. While this assertion overlookssome certain aspects that undue freedom on research may harmful to a society. Ifundamentally agree with the speaker for the reason that interests are the mostimportant factor to academic field.

In the very beginning（Firstof all）,concerning about the economic rewards and the societal beneficiaries whether ascientific accomplishment could bring will undoubtedly impede the advance oftechnology. For one reason that people always do not know the potentialbenefits of the scientific accomplishments, innovations are always surpassing to our contemporary society. Also, they may create an immensecontribution in (to) some further far from wecan see. Additionally, these kinds of concerning might rise a tremendousdisaster. For example, consider the situation that all the scientists careabout how big they contribute to a society, they could likely to give up theirown interests but turn to a research in the problem which intensely under thespotlight of the media. In granting this premise (maybeproblematic expression), our society will ensure (probably)have more troubles in a later time, because no one concentrates (on) these problems which seem not important in thebeginning.

Secondly, it is the interest, which plays abasic but vital role especially when it comes to the scientific realms,retrospect the history of human endeavor, there are plenty of example to showus that our scientists who have gain the significant success are all likely tohave a big interesting in the subject which they study in. Copernicus with thepassion in astronomy, he persists on his theory of heliocentric system whichwas absolutely wrong in the years that he lived. (这个例子不错)With the interests inphysics, Galileo does not give up the research when he was blindness. Moreover,many discovers are coming from the idiosyncratic or unusual ideas, an incisiveexample to support my position is Einstein’s special and general theories ofrelativity. Almost no one can understand what the theory is in the beginning.But now, the theories are regarded as the most satisfactory model of thelarge-scale universe that we have.

On the other hand, the discussion abovedoes not mean the research could be freedom in any case. Those working for aharmful purpose should not be encouraged, and suitable restrictions should beput (imposed). Such as the issue of placeendeavor (to make) in making computer virus.Moreover, even when the research is disputable, government should have a deeper (in-depth) discussion on whether it could besupported For instance, we should make a discreetly decision on the question (and decide) whether to investigate in weapons ofmass destruction, nuclear devices, and so forth.

In sum, our society should not over concern whether the scientific result contribute to a society or not, for it was not theeffective way to judge the ultimate value of a research, Furthermore, exceptthe circumstance that some motivation may harm to the society, the enthusiasmwas the important guidance which led scientists to success.
