At its heart, the reason for the excessively high expectations for medical science and the successes of the field are one and the same: human ambition. As long as humans look toward a better standard of living, there will never come a day when we decide that medical science has done enough; humans will always seek to improve it. However, it is only with great success that one can have even greater ambitions. Perhaps a century or two ago it would have been a big deal to survive the common cold. Yet today, long after surviving the cold has no longer become an issue, research still goes on to make cures work faster, better and more efficiently, and it will not stop until the cold goes in the way of tuberculosis and smallpox (ie, completely eradicated). It is this tenacity hardwired within the human psyche that pushes medical science in an inexorably upward trajectory. And the further it advances, the more humans expect from it.

Another limited argument against the the view that spoken language is more important than the written form is the ease to convey information in A RELATIVELY SHORTER PERIOD OF TIME. As we know, we are able to know a wide range of information such as the stock market trends as well as historical records in places such as the library without the teacher teaching them verbally one by one.
One limited argument against the the view that spoken language is more important than the written form is the ease of storage of information, which the spoken language do not possess. As we know, the historical records in the past are mostly written as there was not means to store information in the spoken form. As such, the written language at some point possessed more importance than the spoken language due to the ease of storage of information than the spoken counterpart.
Furthermore,the view that spoken language is more important than the written form is accurate due to some languages having no direct link between the spoken form and written form. One such example is the Danish language, where the sleeping in the written do not coincide with the spoken form of language, making the foreigners havong a difficult time understanding the language.Thus,the view that spoken language is more important than the written form may be more accurate than the opposite view.
I support the view that spoken language is more important than the written form, as without spoken language, taking records in the form of written language is not possible.
As a matter of nature,spoken language comes before the written language. The language artificially constructed using written language is meaningless for communication as the majority of population do not know how to speak. One such example is Esperanto, developed using Slavic and Romance languages, did not gain significant speakers.
Thus,I support the view that spoken language is more important than the written form, as without spoken language, the entire language is meaningless as a tool of communication.
The writer's focus shifted away from the focus of the question which is whether The MAIN purpose of television is to educate, rather than simply to entertain, and instead directed his paragraph to the profit motive of the TV entertainment companies.
