[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.

I think the government should give support to the research with no practical use.
The research with no practical use is defined by most people as that which cannot be directly converted into econimic interests, be directly applied to industry, or directly serve us in our daily life. While it should be noticed that the so called not practical research is not useful and profitable at present not permanently. In the history of human evolution, there were so many great research outputs which looked like useless at first but were finally proved to be core technique of subsequent monumental research works that changed our life. Without the support of number theory, the information safety technology would have not got so perfect to prevent secret from being stolen in wars and bussiness competitions. If Shannon had not discovered the information theory, the communication technology would have not get so developed and we would have not accessed to so large amount of information through the Internet and would have not used our smart phones to communicate with others. Computer would have not been invented without computability theory. Weather forcast would have not been born without the development of partial differential equation theory.  From the examples listed above, we can conclude that the value of some research works was hidden when they were carried out. It took hundreds of years or even longer time to discover their vaule. So the government should not be so impatient and short-sighted that some research works are not supported simply becasue they are not so practical. Please remember that every research is useful and meaningful. We say some of them are not practical, it is because that we have not found out how to use them.
Stayfoolish,stayhungry.

It's hard to say, you know, that there are some practice uses can't be seen today.

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."
