Reading respond “ The politics of research”

Knowledge is power, but power corrupts people. Just like what Lord Acton had stated:”Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.” People use knowledge and information like some sort of tools to manipulate their environment, try to control it the way as they plan. Knowledge also creat fortunes, I think this is another reason why the research is more focused in some areas than the other. I think research should be more opened into all the field of studies. This will not only benefit large coperation, but also benefit the whole human society.
