Many people believe that scientific research should be carried out and controlled by the governments rather than private companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?
People have different views about the question whether governments or private companies should be responsible for carrying out or controlling scientific research, Personally, I believe that the answer to this question really depends on what kinds of research we are talking about.
First, it can be argued that some research should be conducted and controlled by governments because of profit reasons. From this perspective, these kinds of research, that need long term investment, may need to be conducted by the state. The reason for this is that private companies are geared to make profits and they do not want to invest money into research without realizing profit.
In the area of security, some research should be controlled by governments. These research areas, like space or weapons research, could lead to disastrous results if they get out of control.
On the other hand some would argue that the role of the government is making regulations and laws but not being involved in research. Politicians should have the power to control, or even ban, dangerous research. If governments can strictly enforce laws, safety can be guaranteed.
At the present time there are a large number of companies doing research independently without any trouble. if governments have to spend a large amount of money doing research, money for other public benefits and education will be influenced.
In conclusion, I believe that some research should be conducted and controlled by the government, however, it would be better for private companies to do other research in other areas.
I think it would be better if you chose one side and then made an argument for the extent of your opinion.
