SCIENCE BRIEFS The Social Impact of Internet Use

Social responsibility of scientistsThere has been much debate for a number of years about how far scientists should be responsible to society for the results of their work. This question applies particularly to university scientists as they are the ones who are free to choose their field of research. The greater number of scientists today work for government sponsored bodies, or in industry; in their case, the responsibility lies mainly with the authorities that employ them; the are mot entirely free agents, short of resigning from their post.In 1979 legal charges were brought against the University of California claiming that agricultural research which it promoted had led to increased automation and consequently farm workers losing their jobs. The University’s defence was that the results of research have been of benefit to the community as a whole through increased productivity and lower food prices, and that in any case the social consequences of its research were the responsibility of the whole community rather than of the University.In 1970 the British Society for Social Responsibility in Science held an international conference in London, on “The Social Impact of Modern Biology”. Twenty famous scientists, including three Nobel prize-winners and six fellows of the Royal Society, presented papers which were subsequently published along with the discussions in a book. It was generallyaccepted that within the next few decades developments in the biological science will radically change civilization as we know it today. Discoveries used wisely can be of immense benefit to mankind, but many can also be used in ways that either intentionally or unintentionally have disastrous effects on man and on the other inhabitants of this planet. Most scientists feel involved and have well-developed consciences in these matters, but the problems are extremely complex. In the first place scientists—especially those doing pure research – often do not know what sort of discovery they are likely to make, or, having made it,they cannot foresee the eventual impact on society. Very occasionally a scientists may find himself in a cruel dilemma. The conference indicated that most scientists do have a feeling of responsibility toward society, but how far they ate able to influence the application of their work is another matter. What they can do is to keep the public informed and especially to advise politicians and other influential persons. When a new technical development becomes available it should be examined by a commission on which all sections of the community are represented, including of course scientists competent in the particular field. The universities have a role to play here in that they can provide unbiased experts. The scientists should make the technological assessment of foreseeable benefits and harmful effects, and these should be clearly stated for all to see, but the decisions and responsibilities should be shared by all sectionsof the community. One of the problems is to arrive at a general agreement abut social values and goals. Public debate through the media is essential in helping to shape values and make choices, but everydayexperience of politics in democratic countries shows how difficult this often is.One of the clearest statements I have read about the social responsibilities of scientists is an article by Nobel prize-winner Ser Ernst Chain. First he makes the point, with which I agree, that the general run of scientists outside their own specialty ate no wiser than non-scientists, nor ate they free from prejudice and emotional attitudes. Indeed even within their own field they are sometimes intolerant of the views of colleagues with whom they disagree. Their advice should be sought and respected on technical. Factual matters within their competence, but outside that most scientists should be regarded in the same light as other citizens of comparable standing. Chain concludes that scientists cannot be held responsible for the unpleasant effects of their inventions: responsibility lies with the society that adopts the technological application. It is up to society to take—and pay for—measures against the unwanted side-effects such as pollution or invasion of privacy. Like others, Chain says that one thing scientists can and should do is to counteract the news media to exaggerate and sensationalize new developments.A point on which all scientists agree as an ideal when discussing these matters is that a scientist should be responsible for presenting a true picture to the implications so far as he can see them. But of course scientists working in the defence services ate rarely free to do this, nor are most of those in industry. A final word: whatever critics may say or wish, today science is an extremely important part of our culture, and modern civilization is in fact based on technology; there is no going back, and science an technology will influence or lives and the world we live in to an increasing extent, therefore man will have to adjust to this situation as he has to other changes. Scientists must take a positive part, individually and collectively, in helping people understand the spirit of the brave new world.。

英语四六级作文素材Title: The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal Relationships。

In today's digital age, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has transformed the way we communicate, connect, and interact with others. However, the widespread use of social media has also brought about significant changes in interpersonal relationships, both positive and negative.On the positive side, social media has made it easier for people to stay in touch with friends and family, regardless of geographical barriers. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, individuals can share updates, photos, and videos with their loved ones, keeping them informed about their lives and activities. This has undoubtedly strengthened many long-distance relationships and helped people feel more connected despite being physically apart.Moreover, social media has provided a platform for individuals to meet new people and expand their social circles. Dating apps and online communities have enabled individuals to connect with like-minded individuals and form new friendships and romantic relationships. This has been especially beneficial for those who may struggle to meet new people in their everyday lives, such as introverts or individuals living in remote areas.However, the impact of social media on interpersonal relationships is not entirely positive. One of the most significant drawbacks is the potential for social media to replace face-to-face interactions. With the convenience of instant messaging and video calls, some individuals mayfind themselves relying on these digital forms of communication, neglecting the importance of in-person conversations and quality time spent together. This can lead to a lack of intimacy and depth in relationships, as well as a decrease in social skills and the ability to read non-verbal cues.Furthermore, social media has also given rise to issues such as cyberbullying, jealousy, and unrealistic comparisons. The curated and often idealized versions of people's lives that are presented on social media can lead to feelings of inadequacy and insecurity in others. Additionally, the constant exposure to carefully crafted images and lifestyles can create unrealistic expectations and standards for relationships, leading to dissatisfaction and disappointment in real-life interactions.In conclusion, social media has undoubtedly had a profound impact on interpersonal relationships. While it has facilitated connections and provided opportunities to meet new people, it has also posed challenges to thequality and authenticity of these relationships. It is essential for individuals to strike a balance between their online and offline interactions, and to be mindful of the potential pitfalls of social media on their interpersonal relationships. Only by doing so can we harness the benefits of social media while preserving the depth and authenticity of our connections with others.。

高译教育—NAATI考试英文题库（十）The social impact of technologyThere is no doubt that technological change brings about social change. The Industrial revolution saw many people displaced from their land, to find work in crowded city factories. Serfdom was abolished and the population shifted from villages to the cities. Strong family ties, self sufficiency and the right to occupy land were replaced with uncertain tenancy of land, dependency on trade and a weakening of the family unit. Economically, goods and money abounded, and trade flourished. The merchant class profited from the wealth that was generated on the backs of the displaced population of urban workers. Children were sent to work in factories, in order for families to make enough money to live. The peasant class worked long hard hours in poor conditions with no security. The Industrial revolution led to the alienation of the working class and although many union battles have since led to the adoption of better working conditions, the effects of the Industrial revolution remain. The family unit is even more vulnerable today with soaring divorce rates, high rates of teenage suicide, most of society are either heavily mortgaged to banks or paying high rents, and no one can be self-sufficient in a world governed by free trade.Advances in technology, is generally not equitably shared within society.People with money have more opportunity to acquire technology, which enables them to acquire even more wealth. Technology leads to greater social economic division. Laborers are viewed as commodities and expendable. Technology leads to alienation because it can create jobs that require no specialist knowledge.To date, since the industrial revolution we have seen technology used to the detriment of society. The right to occupy land has become a privilege that must be worked for and earned and now the battle is on to control all the world's food and textiles through genetically modified seeds and animals. The insidious part of GM is that there is no recall once it is released into the environment. Salmon that will grow ten times faster than normal salmon will destroy river systems, as their unfair genetically modified advantage will see all smaller life forms extinguished, and genetically modified crops that are dependent on pesticides will contaminate organic, heritage seeds that have sustained people for thousands of years. Seeds will no longer be able to be harvested and replanted but the farmer will have to buy new seed every year from GM seed makers. This fight is more important than the fight over open source because it involves the right of people everywhere to have clean, safe food that has not been genetically altered. Essentially GM is a tax on everyone because a patent will be on every seed and seeds are made to besterile the following year. This is something to become angry about. The greedy corporations and individuals that want control over our food, water and land, do not care about the irreversible damage to the environment, people and animals that they cause.We have the right to eat tomatoes that are free of fish DNA, meat and milk that is free of human DNA, pigs that haven't been grown to harvest anthrax antibodies. They will never be able to prove the safety of GM food and no long term studies have been done. Nor will GM solve the problem of soil erosion, and pollution of rivers from artificial fertilizers and pesticides. Only a return to responsible organic and biodynamic farming practices will solve these problems. Courts are not keen to pursue pesticide makers for poisoning farmers, or GM seed makers for monopolizing the world's seeds through patents, through genetic engineering that not only renders the seed worthless for replanting the next year but also contaminates non-GM crops by cross pollination. Already the majority of the world's seed stock is controlled by a handful of corporations.Resisting the tide of technological change is impossible. Of course it is possible to do business without a website or email or mobile phone or a fax machine. People have been doing business well before any of these gadgets were invented. But business today is about competition, andtechnology is about leverage. Technology can lead to alienation if it is not widely dispersed in society. The Industrial age saw the concentration of technology in the hands of the rich and powerful, allowing them to dominate and subdue the population into harsh working conditions and the social impact of the Internet and computers is only just beginning, will it challenge the status quo or will it lead to greater population control?Large enterprises embrace accredited trainingA national study into accredited industry training programs found that large organizations make solid returns from accessing these training resources.The study, financed through the Commonwealth-funded National V ocational Education and Training Research and Evaluation program and commissioned by the National Center for V ocational Education Research (NCVER) was led by Associate Professor Erica Smith from Charles Sturt University (CSU).The research found that access to these programs can significantly improve an organization's training systems and skills profile, prompting a call for increased marketing of these formally accredited training programs to all enterprises, especially small and medium sized business. The project found that enterprises which used nationally recognizedtraining—formally accredited training programs and courses—tended to be large organizations with substantial numbers of staff in particular occupations. Further, their industrial relations tended to be based on enterprise agreements rather than awards."The use of formal qualifications for training employees has grown quite rapidly over the past ten years but the reasons why enterprises choose to take up this option has never been studied on a large scale before," said Associate Professor Erica Smith."The project has therefore attracted considerable interest from national and state training authorities," added Professor Smith.The CSU research team led by Professor Smith found that nationally recognized training is most effective when it becomes integrated into the organization's human resource management systems, which needs the support of senior management and their strategic planning.The resear ch project also identified the importance of an ‘evangelist’ who is committed to qualifications for workers and is able to interpret the often complex national training system to managers.The research involved focus groups in Sydney, Melbourne and Wagga Wagga in south western NSW, case studies in 12 enterprises across Australia , and a survey of all registered training organizations based in enterprises.On the noseAustralia’s wine industry must move up,not sidewaysIt had to happen. Australian wine, for so long the new kid on the block, is being labelled the neighbourhood bully. In Europe,anti-globalisation food activists, who are as often as not a front for local producer interests, reckon the great Aussie drop, mass produced and inexpensive, is obliterating their traditional varieties. In this campaign they are aided and abetted by some high-profile wine writers, who dismiss much of our product as indistinguishable low-end plonk. And then there is the new fashion for wine connoisseurship prompted by the success of the film Sideways. For Australian primary producers, all too adept themselves at mounting populist scare-campaigns against international competition –see today's feature on vegetable farmers – it all looks like a nasty case of the biter bit.And as if this was not bad enough, soon our vintners may be facing new competitive pressure in their major export markets from mass-produced wine made in China and other countries with low labour costs. Clearly what the industry needs is a new burst of what made it a global heavyweight in the first place: energy and innovation. At the mass-produced end, winemakers are going to have to find ways of reducing costs to stay competitive against new entrants from South Africaand China. Meanwhile, we are going to have to counter the propaganda that we produce dull, predictable wine, and that will take vintnering as well as marketing skill.And as if this was not bad enough, soon our vintners may be facing new competitive pressure in their major export markets from mass-produced wine made in China and other countries with low labour costs.

Having over-encouraged investment in broadacre vineyards via tax breaks in the 1990s, now the Howard Government imposes a wine equalization tax structured in such a way that it hits mid-sized wineries –which drive most of the research and development – much harder than the boutique wineries on one side or the giants on the other. As reported in The Australian today, the very techniques that turned Australian wine into an industry worth nearly $3 billion annually are now being taught to Chinesevintners. When they eventually rise up to challenge their teachers in the market for commodity wines, we will need to be able to respond – with quality.。

关于社会科学和人文科学比较的六级英语作文Social science and humanities are two major branches of academic disciplines that focus on studying different aspects of human society and culture. While they both aim to understand human behavior and society, there are significant differences between the two fields in terms of their methodologies, perspectives, and subject matters.Social science refers to the scientific study of human society and social relationships. It includes disciplines such as sociology, psychology, economics, political science, and anthropology. Social scientists use a variety of research methods, including quantitative and qualitative approaches, to gather and analyze data on human behavior and social systems. They seek to uncover patterns, trends, and relationships in society in order to explain and predict social phenomena. Social science research often relies on empirical evidence and statistical analysis to test hypotheses and theories.On the other hand, humanities encompass disciplines that focus on the study of human culture, history, and values. This includes subjects such as literature, philosophy, history, art, music, and religious studies. Humanities scholars use methods such as textual analysis, interpretation, and critique to examineand understand cultural artifacts and expressions. They seek to explore the meaning, significance, and impact of human creativity and experience on society. Humanities research often involves engaging with primary sources, critical theory, and theoretical frameworks to interpret and evaluate the human condition.One key difference between social science and humanities is their underlying approaches to knowledge and understanding. Social science tends to adopt a more positivist and empirical perspective, emphasizing the use of scientific methods and data to study human behavior. In contrast, humanities often take a more interpretative and critical approach, focusing on the subjective interpretation and meaning of human culture and values. While social science seeks to uncover universal laws and patterns in society, humanities delve into the complexities of human experience and expression.Another difference is in the subject matter and scope of study between the two fields. Social science primarily focuses on studying social structures, institutions, and relationships, such as politics, economics, and social inequality. It seeks to explain social behavior and phenomena through systematic analysis and observation. Humanities, on the other hand, examine humancreativity, imagination, and expression in areas such as literature, art, philosophy, and religion. They explore the cultural, historical, and aesthetic dimensions of human experience and identity.Despite these differences, social science and humanities are interconnected and complementary in their efforts to understand and analyze human society and culture. They both contribute valuable insights and perspectives to the broader study of human behavior and experience. Social science provides a foundation for examining social issues and trends, while humanities offer a deeper understanding of human values, beliefs, and aspirations. By integrating the methodologies and perspectives of both fields, researchers can gain a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the complexities of human society and culture.In conclusion, social science and humanities play essential roles in advancing our knowledge and understanding of human society and culture. While they have distinct methodologies, perspectives, and subject matters, they share a common goal of exploring and interpreting the complexities of human behavior and experience. By recognizing the unique contributions of each field and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, researcherscan deepen their insights and broaden their perspectives on the diverse and evolving nature of human society and culture.。

科学精神对日常生活影响英语作文The Impact of the Scientific Spirit on Daily Life.The scientific spirit, encompassing curiosity, rationality, empiricism, and skepticism, is an essential component of human civilization. It has not only shaped the way we understand and interact with the natural world but also profoundly influenced our daily lives. This essay explores the various ways the scientific spirit impacts our daily routines, decision-making, and worldviews.Firstly, the scientific spirit fosters curiosity, which drives us to seek knowledge and understanding. In our daily lives, this curiosity manifests as a desire to learn new things, whether it's about the latest technological advancements, the science behind common phenomena, or the underlying reasons for social and cultural practices. We are constantly seeking answers to questions that arise in our minds, and this quest for knowledge helps us make informed decisions and lead more fulfilling lives.Rationality, another cornerstone of the scientific spirit, plays a crucial role in our daily decision-making. Rational thinking involves the use of logic and reason to evaluate information, form opinions, and make choices. In our daily lives, we use rational thinking to solve problems, make decisions about our careers, health, and finances, and interact with others. By weighing evidence and considering various perspectives, we can make more well-informed and responsible decisions.Empiricism, which emphasizes the importance of observable evidence and experimentation, also has implications for our daily lives. We rely on empirical evidence to assess the effectiveness of products, thesafety of foods and drugs, and the accuracy of information we encounter. In the medical field, for instance, the scientific method is used to test the safety and efficacyof new drugs and treatments, ensuring that patients receive the best possible care. Similarly, in our daily lives, we use empirical evidence to make choices about consumer products, such as selecting cars based on safety ratings orevaluating the quality of food based on nutritional information.Skepticism, the final component of the scientificspirit, encourages us to question authority andconventional wisdom. In our daily lives, skepticism helpsus avoid falling victim to misinformation and pseudoscience.
