Re: REVIEW GRE ESSAY [#permalink]
Hi everyone. I wrote the following essay? How it is improved or got worse compared to my first essay?

Issue: Governments should place few , if any restrictions on scientific research and development.
The argument states that the government should support scientific research and development. While this claim is valid given long term positive impact of research and development, it has to be examined further to address any possible fallacies.
First of all, as a result of successful scientific research and development, there is a positive impact on the society. For instance, such pharmaceutical companies as Phaser, Astrazeneka completed research on the chemical and biological changes in human body as a result of virus mutation, and developed vaccine against COVID 19. As a precedence, these pharmaceutical companies received financial support from the government and faced few regulatory restriction to conduct research and facilitate drug development.
In spite of the fact that scientific research and development may lead to life-changing positive events in the society, significant percentage of research and development projects may fail. Consequently, it will hamper country’s economic development, leading to the decline in GDP and organizations growth rates. Thus, it is recommended government performs additional research on the projects conducts to address any possible mishaps.
Secondly, on the one hand, companies engage in Research and Development projects to evaluate costs and benefits of each project before making financial investments. Thus, probability of successful outcome of each scientific project is high . Therefore, making decision not to invest in projects is contradictory to well being of the country and subject to debate.
To conclude, I agree with the fact that few restrictions should be placed on scientific research and development. As it was discussed above in the passage, majority of scientific researches lead to successful outcomes. It will likely generate economic prosperity in the country, contributing to overall well being of its citizens.
