[交流] [activity] Do you agree that the government should support?

the title as you have seen is from TOFEL, i do know you guys like writing. and i am trying to practice my writing skill too. if you'd like to do the same, i hope you can post your writing here, let's improve our English together.

here is the topic:
Do you agree that the government should support the scientific research even there is no practical use? use specific reasons and examples to support your idea.


and the rule is: write it by yourself

i really hope you guys can take part in. considering of the time, i hope we can finish it before this weekend.

00waterh: 金币+30, ESEPI+1, wow, come on,i love you guys.by the way, we China welcome those scientists who have lost their job in Austria 2014-03-07 08:51:05
Yes nowadays there is a great surplus of research students and researchers, and most of the work cannot be transformed into the actual product. Someone might say some day these work might be base stone for major discoveries in science. I’m in no position to claim this statement is right or wrong, at least in my eyes, it’s not how science works.

I personally agree that most scientific researches might be redundant in terms of the transformation rate of them into daily application, but financial support from government is still necessary I reckon.

Whether the government supports scientific researches or not is also a reflection whether the government believes in science itself. If the government is leaving us the impression that “we don’t trust you science people”, then disaster for the nation is coming as well, for sure. Australia is an illustrative example, forgive me but Australia repels me, seriously.

The current Prime Minister doesn’t trust science. Then do you know what happened?

Education budget is cut, research funding and funding grant rate are dropping, and scientists working for government organizations are losing their jobs. Then the current survey released by ABS suggests that fewer students are choosing science electives in secondary school. What to expect then?

Apart from that, Australia is losing its target to cut gas emission by 5% because it’s said to be too hard to achieve the target. Funny is our Prime Minister actually appointed a guy who is even not convinced that CO2 is the major cause of warming to tackle with gas emission issues. Another funny story to share is that rubbish dumping is approved in the Great Barrier Reef. I can only type HEHE to have my opinion acrossed.

Can you imagine that I’m mumbling all the way till the end of the article?

Pro: (EX: http://healthresearchfunding.org/gene-patenting-pros-cons/)
  "Government should fund scientific research because no private company should be allowed to patent the fruits of scientific research."
Con: (EX: http://digitalcommons.law.yale.edu/yjhple/vol2/iss1/12/)
  "Government should not fund controversial scientific research, even if its practical benefits are immediate and beyond doubt."
[activity] Do you agree that the government should support?
