Governments should be responsible for funding and controlling scientific research rather than private organizations. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Government

plays a vital role in our environment and helps our society grow financially. Many argue that the council should take responsibility to provide finances and rule science

instead

of personal companies. I partially agree with the statement as the

government

's first priority should be scientific research.

Firstly

, private organizations are fully funded and have a strong baseline

whereas

researchers are dependent on authority a heavy amount of money on equipment is required.

For example

, giving finances to scientific research resulted in vaccines for covid. If the funds were provided to a private organization they would have doubled the sale rate of vaccines.

On the contrary

, if the

government

are using there finances and resources it can not fully monitor its performance and serve society

whereas

if they provide money or sign a tender for a privately owned organization it can do regular check as its business deals in one type of business.

For example

, by signing a project or lease for testing water purification a privately owned company can spend more time and energy improving the resources and making a better environment.

To conclude

, the

government

should be accountable for funding scientific research but experiments regarding science should be conducted by both legislative bodies and private organisations to have healthy competition

as well as

a better place to live in.
