People expect too much from medical science due to the over-reliance of the public on medical science to the point that they become complacent. It is acceptable and right for the public to rely on medical science to treat and prevent major illnesses such as strokes and terminal diseases by going for vaccinations and regular check-ups, however, there are certain illnesses that can be prevented on our own, like diabetes and cough, which can be prevented by consuming less sugary food and managing our lifestyles. With that said, people expect way too much from medical science as they are increasingly dependent on it and rely on it to cure and prevent illnesses without putting in the effort to amend their lifestyles. One example would be how all of the gains in terms of technology in reducing heart disease deaths are taken for granted as the Americans don't address some of the underlying causes first, such as a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle, and just rely on taking the drugs to prevent heart diseases. Although exercise is one of the top prevention strategies for heart disease, an estimated 60% of American adults are sedentary and about one in five is obese. As such, people failed to realize that without addressing the root causes of health problems, the effects of all the vaccinations and drugs would be limited. Hence, people are expecting too much from medical science due to the over-reliance on it.
Written language is more important than the spoken form because information is passed down to different generations via written language. For example, information and details of wars from the past are written on history textbooks and students from future generations will then acquire information from these textbooks. Without written language, the future generations would have no means of accessing important information and knowledge from the past as they would not be conserved. The spoken language may be important to communicate ideas effectively in real life but it will not help to formalise information in black and white so that they can be conserved and passed down to future generations. Hence, the written language is more important than the spoken form.
