a paper on a scienctist's responsibility

hi, friends! The following is my paper on a scientist's responsibility. Could you read over and correct some grammar mistakes and logically weak points?



Request for a Scientist’s Insight and Strong Mind

Is a scientist responsible for an outcome of his work which he does not expect? In Frankenstein, a scientist, Victor Frankenstein, is eager to discover the secret of life and tries to make a creature out of old body parts. With his ambition as a scientist, he finally succeeds in bringing his creation to life. However, he is so shocked that he runs away from the creature because the appearance of the creature is extremely ugly and monstrous. Abandoned by his creator and rejected by a lot of people due to his bad looks, the creature murders Victor’s brother and bride. Victor regrets having made a monster which kills his beloved ones. Even though Victor begins to work on the secret of life to do good for people, he is ignorant of the outcome of his work and lured by wealth and fame. For fear that such an unfortunate event should occur, a scientist ought to have a moral responsibility of having specialized knowledge to predict the outcome of his work and not being tempted by wealth and fame.
As the interaction between science and a society becomes more important, a scientist is required to have specialized knowledge to predict the outcome of his work in a society. In other words, a scientist should know what he is working on and foresee the influence of his work in public with his insight of the subject. Accordingly, a scientist has to develop his insight and skills for forecasting about the influence in the society. Therefore, when a scientist cannot predict the outcome of his work in a society, he does not meet a requirement as a scientist and his ignorance gives no excuse. Just as we expect citizens in a nation to know and keep the laws of the nation, members of a society anticipate for a scientist to master the specialized knowledge as vocational ethics. In summary, a scientist needs to face up to the principles and the possible outcomes of the subject matter which he is working on, because having specialized knowledge is a qualification for the scientific work.
Even though a scientist is able to foresee the outcomes of his work, he should be strong enough not to be tempted by the pursuit of wealth and fame. If he continues on the work which he thinks can cause terrible effects on people such as working on nuclear weapons for preparation for a war, he is neglecting his social role as a scientist. A scientist ought to have a conscience and remind that “Science affects people” all the time. He must know that his little decisions and trivial mistakes can result in damaging in a lot of people. Despite the fact that most scientists usually work for the government, a company, or a university, they should not attribute to the organization for which they work when the influence of their work turns out negative in the society. The point is not the instruction of the organization but their conscience and decision-making. A scientist is likely to ascribe the bad effects to his organization when the result of his work finally turns out negative. He may give the excuse that he just works for a company without planning to make a bad situation but actually, he just avoids the responsibility to have a conscience when he decides whether he joins a project or not. In conclusion, a scientist should listen to his conscience and not attribute bad situations to an organization, overcoming the temptation of the pursuit of wealth and fame.
As science and a society keep interacting with each other, a scientist’s ignorance and moral corruption can make an uncontrollable monster in a society just like in Frankenstein. As I discussed before, ignorance of a scientist means the inability to look into his subject matter and foresee the outcome of his work due to the lack of insight. Also, moral corruption of a scientist is for a scientist to pursue wealth and fame at the expense of tremendous harm to people and a society. A scientist can overcome ignorance and moral corruption with his infinite affection for the scientific work and reflecting on his conscience. In conclusion, a scientist is not only a pure scientific researcher but also a member of a society which offers him moral responsibility.
