The scientist as a moralist

The scientist is member of society like other people. He has his feelings, desires and ideas like them. But in his scientific work he is much more objective and accurate than others. He reaches his scientific result on the basis of careful observation of facts. He verifies his results again and again through experimentation. He makes use of mathematics and istruments of observation, measurement and calculation. The true scientist does his research and experiments to discover new facts of science. He tries to make use of his knowledge for greater scientific progress. The scientific should always work for real or positive scientific progress. It means that he should research and experiment for the good of others or society. He should try to develop theories and instruments which may in the end bring benefits to human beings. He should heip in the making of useful and not harmful things. Thus he will be working for real scientific progress if he tries to discover or make new medicines for the cure of diseases. His work will be positive if he invents machines which may make the digging of wells and canals faster and easier. The scientist should not make use of knowledge to the harm of others. In fact scientist in different countries should come to an agreement not to put science to destructive use. The government should not force them to make destructive weapons. If different countries enter into no-war agreements on the basis of equality and justice, scientists will find it easy to work to the benefit of all. Most of our modern comforts and facilities have been made possible by scientists. Let the scientist of the world work together for further progress. The United Nation Organization can make better efforts to bring different countries and their scientists together to work for peace and progress.
