40.1 Science is the first thing to be financed in the modern world (Сочинения ЕГЭ английский язык)

It is common knowledge that developing science is important nowadays. However, the problem of prioritising science over other industries causes a great controversy. Some people believe that science is the first thing to be financially supported today while others suggest that solving existing social problems is more important.

In my point of view, science should be the first thing to be financed in the modern world. Firstly, scientific explorations especially in the technological area help people in their everyday life. People use smartphones, a microwave or cookery on the daily basis. Moreover, the development of other fields depends on science. For instance, the usage of the modern equipment in medical and engineering area are possible because of scientific explorations.

However, some people have a different opinion.

They claim that supporting with money social organisations is more important than funding science today. Some of the social problems such as unemployment cannot be solved by science.

Despite of my respect for this opinion I cannot share it. Science is the key to solving any social problem in modern world. Financing science will lead to its development and, therefore, creating new professions. In this case, society will be provided with new employment opportunities.

To sum up, I would like to emphasise that science is the first thing to be financed in the modern world as it stimulates the development of other fields.
