My Issue(请大侠指点,万分感激)

23."Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives."

Does the fragmatented information preoccupy people and shift their focus from the larger issues and overall perspectives, as the speaker contends? While I agree with the assertion that there are quite a lot of factual information available in our everyday life, it is unwarranted to conclude that people fail to pay enough attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives.

One of the most conspicuous evidences is that no matter how inconsiderate the factual information is in our mind, it would never be given way to the message conveyed by the significant, or in other word large issues. 911 terroristic attact, for example, would never be ignored, while there are so much factual news like small accidents on traffic, regulary soccer matches in England, an enrollment of an elementary school , a new birth of a little panda and  so forth. Why? It mainly attributes to human recognition. Human beings own a capacity of distinguishing trivial news from significant issues without many difficulties,which makes possible  concentrating on consequential events rather than factual news ,immuning to the influence of  those factual and irrelevent information.

Another convincing  fact supporting my view lies in that the factual information that seems to be small or insofar trivial actually plays a crucial role in understanding thoroughly certain larger events. As is acknowledged universally that the process of understanding an issue or events is an accumulative one, that is , no one can get a thorough comprehension of certain issues without any factual information. Take cloning technique for example, it`s absolutely impossible to get a whole picture of such advanced technowledge without certain basic concepts like DNA, reproduction and so forth, and hence improbably to imagine the application of such technique.

Admittedly, too many pieces of  fragmented information indeed shift the focus on certain significant social subjects. It is quite reasonable to imagine that trivial and fragmented information  would certainly lead to the misunderstanding of some large issues.
Consider such topic, which used to arise insofar intensive controversy,as the development of automobiles. People are informed that many harmful results,environmental pollution for instance, have been aroused by automobiles,while ,on the other hand, its overwhelming advantages, such as the promotion of  human civilization,certainly surpassing its disadvantages , are insofar unfairly overlooked.

In sum, if not too much, the part factual information plays in recongnizing certain large issues can not be replaced, that is , fragmented information will unpersuasibly remove people`s attention from large or important issues.

看了前面几篇贴上来的才知道为什么自己的没人看了,看来还是回去好好练再来吧

帖子没有人回是这几天大家都比较忙,而且你没有按照置顶帖子里的格式发,实在不好意思了。

真没想到8月份贴的文章还能有像littlepig这样的好人关照,i`m deeply touched.
那时候好像都不知道怎么回事,也没看置顶的文章,所以贴出来没人回应我就算了,而且从那时起就很少上来了。前几天上来,贴了一篇就有人指正,使我大受鼓舞,我想以后我会更加积极的上来和大家一起写的

我给我两个月前的文章改改先:)
23."Contemporary technology makes available many small pieces of factual information. As a result, people have become so preoccupied with bits of fragmented information that they pay too little attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives."
观点是:尽管存在很多零碎的信息,人们不会因为这些而减少对一些大的事件的观注,也不会因之失去对一些问题在全局上的把握。
Does the fragmatented information preoccupy people and shift their focus from the larger issues and overall perspectives, as the speaker contends? While I agree with the assertion that there are quite a lot of factual information available in our everyday life, it is unwarranted to conclude that people fail to pay enough attention to the larger issues and overall perspectives.

理由一:重大事件在人们生活中的地位不会被零碎信息所代替。
One of the most conspicuous evidences is that no matter how inconsiderate the factual information is in our mind, it would never be given way to the message conveyed by the significant, or in other word large issues. 911 terroristic attact, for example, would never be ignored, while there are so much factual news like small accidents on traffic, regulary soccer matches in England, an enrollment of an elementary school , a new birth of a little panda and so forth. Why? It mainly attributes to human recognition. Human beings own a capacity of distinguishing trivial news from significant issues without many difficulties,which makes possible concentrating on consequential events rather than factual news ,rendering people immuned to the influence of those factual and irrelevent information.

理由二:零碎信息的作用不是削弱人们对重大事件的关注,而是给人们提供更多参考的细节,使人们能获得更全面的认识。
Another convincing fact supporting my view lies in that the factual information that seems to be small or insofar trivial actually plays a crucial role in understanding thoroughly certain larger events. As is acknowledged universally that the process of understanding an issue or events is an accumulative one, that is , no one can get a thorough comprehension of certain issues without any factual information. Take cloning technique for example, it`s absolutely impossible to get a whole picture of such advanced technowledge without certain basic concepts like DNA, reproduction and so forth, and hence improbably to imagine the application of such technique.

让步:太多的零碎的信息会把人们的视线从重大事件上转移掉。
Admittedly, too many pieces of trivial and fragmented information indeed shift the focus on certain significant social subjects. It is quite reasonable to imagine that trivial and fragmented information would certainly lead to the misunderstanding of some large issues.
