113 "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work
makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they
pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those
interests may seem."
The topic of the importance of scholars and researchers pursuing their
individual interest has been overemphasized. Ever since the numbers of
scholars and researchers are proliferated, they have claimed for their own
freedom in doing research. For many years, it is understandable that people
have preference of letting scholars and researchers work on whatever they
like due to the sympathy toward these scholars and researchers. No matter how
the impact took place, it is certainly that since the science is fundamental
to a nation, what scientists do have played a crucial role.
However, the statement is somehow disputable in some way. To begin with, the
existence of science is out of people needs. Without improving human's life,
it is meaningless for science to exist. In addition, scholars and researcher
may conduct something malicious accidentally and making the society
miserable. To substantiate this point, it is helpful to take computer virus
for example. The inventors of computer virus conduct those virus out of
individual interest thus produce such a chaos in society.
As trying to unravel that working on their own interest, scholars and
researchers may contribute a severe disaster and thus lose the meaning of the
existence of science. It is proposed that only working on the project which
they are zealous toward could the scholars and researchers make a great
achievement at and devoid of the vigor toward the research, the efficiency is
pathetically poor. Therefore, it is vital for scholars and researchers to
pursue their interest in order to precipitate the contribution.
Realistically, it is impotent to remember that there are still tremendously
large amount needs for scholars' and researchers' contribution such as
environmental protection, disaster prevention, lack of food and so on. Only
scholars and researchers could society rely on to solve these complex
problems.
In conclusion, although the topic of the importance of scholars and
researchers pursuing their individual interest has been overemphasized, I
believe that my statement could have certain level of influence on this
topic. When making choices, we need to look for a bit more balance between
individual interest and society contribution.
