Task: Over the past 20 years, commercial influences on scientific research have become increasingly detrimental. Discuss.

Scientific researches play a key role to shape of society because they always supply needs of human and are directed people’s future (Pisano, G. P., 2006). Nowadays, people from all over the world prefer to interest in scientific research more than past. This interest is desired to control by commercial powers that have been harmful for academic landscape. During last decades, powerful companies have started to support some university department or research centers that have a good reputation to affect people opinion such us food engineering, pharmacy, or security.
One of the detrimental effects is that business industry involve in researches of food area because business companies have to think their profit. Thus, they are willing to use scientific researches in order to get more information about food resources. Noticeable relationships between companies and agricultural science, genetic technologies, and food engineering can explain the deepest side of issue. Shelley Stonebrook (2013) indicates that genetically modified food causes some diseases, such as food allergy, lack of nutrition and land antibiotic resistance. Even if genetically modified crops do not give more benefits for human life, the businesses encourage researchers to make new researches in this area by supporting universities. Is this extensive links useful for human welfare or companies? Unfortunately, these kinds of researches generate more profit for the business because they can produce more food with less input. Therefore, when industries establish close partnerships with universities, the companies can obtain sufficient feedback from their researchers.
Pharmaceutical companies stimulate biotechnological or medical research to make acceptable the quality and reliability of medicines and products. With the assistance of scientific research, industries can take out patents of some medicines that give the company’s long-term economic profits. Even if some medicines do not helpful for human health, the companies continue to produce these chemicals and do not allow the scientists to explain negative externalities of medicines. This is a really important issue that threatens human life and right.
Taking into consideration security issues, there is a wide range of commercial influences on new military technology. Every country has to protect own citizens life and its borders. Hence, army industries that aware of government approaches for army weapons have strong links between all kinds of researchers in these areas. Singer (2001) points out, when government face diverse security needs, actors seek external military support. Important point is where that supports come from, not from a state, an
