▶ Your Answer :
A government have
the potential to fund a research project which may affect a large number of
people and society. Some people may argue that a government should only fund a
practical research project, while other contends that other projects which
follow an ideal pursuit also need to improve well-being of citizen. A agree so
far as a research project that can solve a impeding problem of society is more
important because it is directly correlated to well-being of people. However,
the following essay will argue that why this may not always be the case.
Admittedly, a
leader should focus on a project which have high potential to create useful
results when he funds a research project. The first reason I have such a view
is that a government has a responsibility to improve well-being of citizen.
People might be satisfied their life if the basic component of life such as
proper salary, education, or temperate house price are regulated well. A
research project which makes useful results for people is directly correlated
to the satisfaction of citizen. There are so many argent research projects that
a government should solve the problem as soon as possible; poverty, education,
and tax regulation. In addition, the amount of funding and attention from a
government is limited, so it is important to prioritize the funding of a
research project.
However, our
logical thinking allows us to believe that this is not always be warranted by
several reasons. Although impending project are seemingly more important than a
research project which cannot be anticipated useful results immediately, a
research project which has no practical purpose has it’s own value and
importance. In the art and music part, for example, it seems that cannot
improve people’s well-being directly. However, it is able to improve emotional
aspects of human, also create a new travel place. Furthermore, a government
should prepare future problem such as war, depleting water. For example, a
research project related to space exploration is inevitable research to find a
proper planet which have proper environment to live in.
To sum, I believe
that a leader should prioritize government funding to offer proper development
in diverse research project and solve an impending problem in society. Although
a research project that has a potential to make useful results is more
important at first glance, a leader should not ignore other research topic in
order to prepare future issue. |
