▶ Your Answer : There has been a dispute regarding the issue that scientists
are responsible for the negative impact of their discoveries. Although some
people think that scientists should be responsible for the negative impacts of
their discoveries, I believe that scientists do not have to think that the
negative impacts from their discoveries are not their fault. I will present two
reasons to support my opinion.
Firstly, scientists cannot try to make new discoveries. Generally,
if scientists get pressure from society that complains scientists should be
responsible for the negative effects of their discoveries, scientist could not
make any new discoveries because of it. For example, I have invented a new
chair that has three legs. And I showed my invention for my neighbors and they
bought the item with money. And few days later, they complained that the chairs
are not comfortable and safe. So I refunded them. And after the accident
happened, I never tried to invent a new item because I was feeling fear that I
will make wrong items, even I have not tried to fix the chairs. Therefore, if
scientists need to be responsible for the negative impact of their discoveries,
they could not invent new discoveries.
Secondly, the negative effects are not the scientists’
fault. In general, scientists make negative discoveries rather than people make
the inventions to negative impacts for their purpose. For example, the nuclear
was not the weapon, when it was invented. And also the dynamite was not the
weapon, when it was invented before. They were just ingredients for innovation.
But people who have not invented the materials sought the item could be the
factors for their purpose. So they made them to weapon. Thus, negative effects
are caused by people, not by scientist.
In conclusion, scientists do not have to get responsible for
negative impacts of their discoveries. It not only makes scientist to discover
new inventions, but also the negative impacts are not the scientists’ fault. Therefore,
people should not press scientists arguing every negative effect is scientists’
bad. |
