Many people believe that scientific research should be carried out and controlled by gorvernments rather than private companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays, scientific

research

plays a vital role in our lives due to its contribution to technology and innovation. While many people argue that government should conduct scientific studies

instead

of private

companies

, I strongly disagree with

this

viewpoint. On the one hand, I accept that there are several reasons why the government should play a leading role in undertaking

such

research

.

First

, it is believed that the results in scientific studies of private organisations are sometimes unreliable, as their primary aim is to boost their profits

instead

of finding solutions for modern-day problems. For

findings about their products for the sake of selling more and gaining more profits.

Moreover

, without the government's control, some

companies

may conduct unethical experiments,

such

as exposing people and animals to chemical and biological weapons, which poses a great threat to society.

Nevertheless

, I believe that scientific

research

by private groups has had its share of several advances in society. Encouraging private

companies

or individuals to carry out scientific

research

would boost innovation.

That is

due to the fact that these

companies

generally need to be highly innovative in order to compete with their rivals, and

therefore

work on valuable studies to develop their own products. Take the Apple company,

for example

, which invented the

first

wireless Bluetooth earphones, called airports, which are more convenient than regular earphones. Society will

therefore

benefit from new inventions in a wide variety of fields,

such

as technology and medicine. In conclusion, I would argue that both private

companies

and governments should be involved in carrying out scientific

research
