Society Needs

How come then, that although the laws of chemistry arc too complicated to be solved, chemists still can do their jobs and make compounds with beautiful properties that society needs, and chemists run reactions from small-scale laboratoiy ex-pci imcnts to large-scale rcactoi s in chemical industi y ... 

Can all of the above be achieved in the near future If it can, then society need only key its environmental efforts on educating the con-... 

This situation must be corrected. Society needs a clean and safe enviromnent. It also needs to capitalize fully on new developments in chemistry, biotechnology, and materials science, if the United States is to retain technological leadership and international competitiveness in major segments of indnstry. 

In order to reduce the problem of global warming, society needs to find alternative sources of energy. The problem with burning fossil fuels is that they release too much —... 

As a result of immigration, many societies become culturally plural. Yet, in most cases the groups do not have the same power (as regards numbers, economy or politics). All plural societies need to address the issue of how the acculturation process takes place, at both the cultural group level and at that of their members. 

Human dignity principle every individual should have equal value and equal rights of personal characteristics and functions in society Needs and solidarity principle resources should be committed to the people or activities having the greatest need... 

In the past, various individuals and organisations have claimed to own the data produced from a clinical trial, including the state, the sponsor, the investigator and, in some cases, the patient or study subject. It is certainly true that with the advent of the EU Directive on Data Protection, the claim of ownership to his or her data by the patient or study subject has been strengthened. Unfortunately, there is no clear ownership of clinical data except that of society. Even then, society needs to respect the confidentiality and other wishes of individual subjects who have been clinical trial participants. Is there a difference in ownership between data produced from product-driven research to that produced in policy-driven therapeutic research ... 

The importance of chemical innovation is not confined to chemical firms. It is equally important to the economy and to society as a whole. New technology provides the major improvements in productivity that help control inflation and that contribute to the nation s economic growth. At the same time, society needs new chemical technology to help solve many of the pressing problems of our time such as energy conservation and supply, production of food, preservation of environmental quality, and control of population growth. 

Retirees have experience, knowledge, and skills that society needs. They constitute a giant reservoir of ability and talent. But finding the right part-time job is not always easy. It is estimated that for every two retirees who work part-time, at least one more person would like to work. With Plan B, you have some choices. For example, you can continue to use skills you already possess or learn to do something fresh and different. Here are some ideas to consider. 

At the present time, the scientific society needs the development of new environment-friendly analytical methods. Thns, chemists are snpposed to develop analytical methods that are free from the nse of hazardous reagents and leave minimal amonnt of chemical waste. Snrfactants play an important role in onr everyday life becanse they are applied in honseholds as well as in many indnstrial processes. Most snrfactants are snsceptible to biodegradation, metabolic, and other breakdown reactions that may lead to metabolites with significant environmentally benign chemical properties. Generally, most snrfactants appear to be less toxic in the environment than wonld be inferred from laboratory tests. The quantities of each... 

Society needs to have a broader commitment from the industry. It should expect that Pharma helps to cure a higher proportion of diseases and ameliorates more symptoms more effectively. 

One of the significant problems for the Pharma industry is that of the 400 disease entities identified only 50 are commercially attractive by today s requirements of return on investment (ROI). Society needs to find a way to make more diseases commercially attractive if it wants Pharma investment in treating any of the other 350 diseases affecting hundreds of millions of people. 

If society expects Pharma to provide treatments for the more complex, difficult and less potentially financially rewarding diseases, then, with proper constraints and limitations of access and use, society needs to allow better access to patient information. One can in the near future also contemplate individualized medicine. This idea is very attractive and at the same time controversial since it requires that the individual genetic... 

Benign and creative leadership in the FDA, Big Pharma, and Biotech will make better drugs more available. An affluent society needs to be able to afford and enjoy the benefits of drug discovery. 

Perhaps the word "interdisciplinary" will go away. But the concept will not, because society needs it. There is a growing awareness that real problems in our society... 

The ethical and practical aspects of applying biomedicine and life-extending therapies to generate an immortal phenotype are questions that society needs to consider as developments unfold. Society, even in the advanced rich parts of the world, will divide into those that can afford expensive therapies and those that cannot. 

Society needs rules and will sirrvive only if most men in society obey those rules. Mankind has a haunting fear of death. Government s reason for existence is to insure the safety of the people. In his book. Leviathan, Hobbes wrote Fear of things invisible is the natural seed of that which everyone in himself calleth rehgion. ...
