Is scientífic progress always benefícial? 

Depending on what we are, the answers may well vary, and they all make sense, but in my view, scientific progress does not always benefit us. Now let me explain the details.     

First, scientific progress has led us to use more and more natural resources. For example, we are aware that gasoline-powered vehicles and pesticides are harmful, yet cannot stop using them. In this way, science has indirectly harmed the environment, such as the air, soil, and water. Through scientific monitoring of the environment, many people are now aware of this.     

Next, I understand some may argue that science itself is harmless to society. While it has a point, most scientific progress is driven by human motives. Today, for example, many colleges conduct many scientific researches with funding from companies. However, this may lead to harmful outcome, such as development of weapons.           

Having said that, the UN Sustainable Development Goal have listed “promoting technology innovation” as one of their key challenges. So, we must come together to achieve the goal, in order to bring happiness to humans. Thank you for your attention. [182 Words Type-G]
