【正确答案】Scientific Research Needs Joint Efforts
Depending on their academic trainings as well as their own preferences, when it comes to doing a research project, young scholars can be classified into two distinct groups on whether they favor individual work or teamwork. Though both approaches have their advantages and disadvantages, I would select the group work approach.
There are three reasons for my choice. First of all, scientific research is necessarily a joint effort. As it is known to the majority of young scientists who have newly entered the world of science as a serious career. If a person's work is to be called science, the work has to be evaluated and recognized by his colleagues both far and near. Also, modern science has already formed the consensus that for any significant scientific work, there must first exists a scientific community, which means there have to be some fairly agreed-upon topics of study that demands coordination among researchers before any meaningful outcome can be obtained. Last but not least, from a practical perspective, today's scientific research has made it impossible for any individual to carry out all the work all by herself. For example, a social scientist who knows a lot about human behavior may have an inadequate knowledge of statistics and therefore he has to rely on collaborative work from another researcher who is familiar with the details of technical side of the research in question.
As a summary, I strongly believe that scientific research must be a joint effort instead of an individual job. Too much emphasis on an individual researcher's talent and inspiration might do a lot of harm to the advancement of science. Any young scholar should bear this in mind.
