The amount of money for postgraduate research is restricted, therefore financial funds from the government should be used only for scientific research, not for less useful ones. While I agree that scientific research deserves funds because of its immediate practical benefits, I disagree that funds for non-scientific research should be negligible.
The financial support for scientific research is essential because such research makes our life better and solves enormous challenges. Prioritizing science results in many advances in STEM, which can be really helpful for our health and convenience of our life. Medical innovations are essential for us because there are many people suffering from various diseases. For example, Daily life magazine reported that from 2020 the number of incurable diseases will be reduced by half as a result of scientific breakthroughs.
Although ignoring funds for non-scientific research is huge mistake, by doing this people suffer from weak well-being and psychology. Even if scientists doing scientific research, they need fundamental knowledge about well-being to be resistant to failures. Similarly, art and culture can increase the quality of life, giving satisfaction to works that person do. For instance, my sister is a strong scientist with good knowledge and many skills. She struggled to learn from her failures and thought that she is bad scientist, but after she started to learn some psychology and then magic happened. She started to handle very well.
In conclusion, I partially agree with this statement. Although governments should invest heavily in scientific research because of its obvious medical and economic benefits, non-scientific research should not be ignored. Funding fields like social sciences and law is equally important for creating a stable, fair, and successful society.
