honesty is the best policy(诚信英语作文)

As we all know,honesty is defined as a word which describes a person who always tells the truth and never stealing or cheating. And now in the modern society, with the growth of science and technology, the little but significant word gained new meanings such as being honest in scientific researches and keep the public from mislead, deceit or fraud.

However, the society seems to always neglect the crucial importance of being honest particularly in scientific researches. In my opinion, the consequence of this phenomenon is pretty serious which can directly damage the scientific enterprise and can also erode the public’s faith in science. So, how can people not see the value of being honest? First of all, it may related to the development of the society and we are at a different time where our old but crucial traditions are not treasured as before, thus people seems to be numb on the moral behavior such as being honest. Also, I think the lack of supervise from the government is another unnegligible reason to the problem.

Furthermore, being dishonest in various ways can bring people things they acquire, such as money, fame, or even power. In the researching area, scientists with bad intentions may fabricate results to get an expecting outcome which can lead other researchers and public to wrong directions. It is dangerous, but with the temptation inside, it’s getting more and more popular for scientists and researchers to lie on their research recently.

Anyway, for the long-term health of the research community and our society, honesty is the best policy.
