Governments should be responsible for funding and controlling scientific research rather than private organisations. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Scientific studies are salient for the
development
of countries. While some argue that it is the governments
' responsibility to allocate funds for scientific research
and to manage the scientific system, others believe that private organisations are more effective in assisting the scientific sector, and they should be given that responsibility. I agree with the former argument because of its financial and scientific benefit to nations. In this
essay, I will illustrate why I consider funding and controlling scientific exploration as a governmental role.
To begin
with, administrations should support scientific developments due to their attribute to offer reliable financial. This
appears as governments
offer a constant commitment to allocate adequate funds for research
projects
without losing interest, whereas industrial organisations may deter offering money to projects
that prove to have less impact on their productivity and financial income. Anthropology and Social studies, for instance
, can have little interest to be funded by private organisations, though its significant impact on resolving social issues such
as domestic violence. If these projects
are not given attention by the government as an attempt to solve the critical national issues, their implementation will be impossible and that will affect the development
of the nation. Therefore
, it is pivotal to make governments
responsible for financial support and guidance.
Moreover
, governmental management for national scientific projects
leads to success in achieving the prospective aims towards science, individuals and society. Science should be controlled by officials, who are directly aware of the national problems that prevent social development
. The Chinese government's control over medical research
has lead to the development
of a covid-19 vaccine earlier than other nations in late 2020. If these studies were managed by private companies such
as Pfizer or Moderna, their main aim would have been reaching a profit faster than achieving reliable scientific results that could protect the individual and society. Thus
, administrative control over scientific research
is more effective than private control.
In conclusion, in my opinion, governments
should have full access to fund and manage how science develops their countries. They, furthermore
, should be responsible for allocating funds and managing the scientific projects
implemented in their nations to achieve the best results in solving the medical, social and economic issues.Submitted by raniafarag999 on
