Task 2
Governments around the world are spending billions in support of space programs. This money would be better spent on research into improvements in human health. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?It is true that some governments are spending billions of dollars on space research each year. Meanwhile diseases like AIDS and cancer are continuing to claim the lives of more and more people. While I accept that they could spend on space research, I believe that government budget should be prioritized distributed to developments in human health.
On the one hand, there are a variety of reasons why governments should spend on space programs. One reason is that an awareness of what is occurring out beyond our earth is an interesting endeavor for those working in the field of science. Space exploration is the cause of many thousands of jobs around the world. Furthermore, an awareness of the movements of planets and meteorites and the possibility that they may fall to earth helps us to be prepared if such a thing should happen.
On the other hand, the probability of a meteorite crashing to earth and killing thousands of people is very low. What will continue however, are the deaths of thousands and thousands of people caused by rampant diseases and illness throughout our planet. Many of these diseases are multiplied due to a lack of knowledge about them – ignorance is costly. Time and money spent on learning more effective ways to control or even eliminate them has the potential to help immeasurably the lives of people who are suffering and in pain. Consider the relief of a man in Africa suffering from disease once thought to be incurable but, due to research, a solution to his problem is found. Would the discovery of a new moon on Jupiter help this man? I think not.
In conclusion, it is certainly true that space programs and research should be invested, but it clear that improving human health is a wiser use of government money.[22:22:12, 7/10/2017] Cám ơn các bạn!
