Today’s world is the world of research and scientific achievements. Everyday, there are thousends of new discoveries and new phenomenon in various fields, that scientists succeed to understand and find them.The main goal of all of them is to make world a better place to live. However, many believe that scientists should focus their researches on subjects that are beneficial for larger part of people, but I take side against this attitude, because of some reasons that will be elaborated in the following.
To begin with, some people advocate the idea that , researchers should dedicate their potentials to areas which can bring advantages to the greatest number of people. They state that the ultimate goal of each scientific resaerch is serving people, and facilitating various aspects of life for human being . So, it is reasonable that one of the criteria that should be considered in prioritization of a scientific activity, should be the number of people whom are benefited by that activity. More individuals, higher priority.
But on the contrary there are some negative aspects of implementation of such recommendation that invalidate it. First, it should be pointed that there are some problems that involve small groups of people, but their negative impacts are more serious than other fields which can serve larger number of people. If they receive scant attention because researchers are focused on other areas, they can result in disastrous outcomes for involved people. For example, about recent virus Ebola that got spread in some African countries, this disease threats only a part of earth population, but if scientists have not worked on the ways to treat and control it , the virus would have killed all of the infected peole in African countries. In this case, it was not fair that scientists focus on the impacts of global warming on human health and prefer working on this issue because it global warming poses threats to all earth population but only a part of earth residents suffer from Ebola. Thus only the number of individuals that a scientific resaerch aim to serve can not be a reliable factor to select an area as focused subject.
As what is mentioned above, regardless of the number of people who are beneficiary of a research, scientists should consider that how crucial is the field that they research on it.
