"People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups."
人们经常被鼓励去寻找事物之间的不同,以至于往往忽略了事物之间有意义的相似之处

My article:

It is clear that apparent differences have crucial meanings, but it dose not follow that similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups should be neglected, for they also have their own values.
  

Differences between ideas, individuals, and groups are the impetus to the society and human civilization. If in a certain society, all the people hold the same views, then how do revolutionary progress and originality come from? That is to say, without differences, then there will de no need to develop, because nobody tries to consider a thing in a different way. People can imagine that if in the last century, Einstein did not come up with special and general theories of relativity that revolutionized modern thought on the nature of space and time, people are still defined by the Newton's classical physics. It is Einstein who paid attention to the differences of subjects when they act in different conditions, the physics goes into a brand-new field-- the relative world. For there do exist apparent differences between ideas, individuals, and groups, people intend to look into the essence of such departure and research which factor contributes to the distinctness, and then in the procedure of exploring, people achieve more deep understanding about these subjects. Therefore in the modern society, different groups of people who hold conflicting views often discuss or debate with each other, sometimes they even attack the opposite. However, such contravention not only deepen each part's views via letting them pay attention to their both superior and drawbacks but also droaden their insight towards subjects . So, in a word, without differences, people can not observe the things clearly and can not judge the right from wrong, the sincerity from sin and so on, then the society can not develop continuously.

However, similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups also have their own unparalleled values. A society can advance ahead, for all its members have the same purposes---more brighter future, more developed life and more happy time. If there are no similarities towards people, they will conflict with each other all day and may have no time and energy to strive for the overall happiness of the whole human beings. Just like in a football team, the only purpose is to goal more and to win the game. If each member wants to be hero and just play for his own honor, then there always comes dad luck. Therefore, similarities are the preconditions of cooperation and co-prosperity. Without similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups, people cannot tolerate together and work harmoniously. So many achievements will not exist and appear again. After all, when people unite together corporately for the common goal they often show unforeseen originality and power.


To draw a conclusion, these two elements are essential to the course of the mankind's history, and we should treat them with the same eyes.

大概看了看,我觉得很不错呢,呵呵
加油!

不过你如果是说两者都重要的话,那说SIMILARITY的弱了点。

嗯,是的,我找不出很强的例子来支撑,只是说理就觉得块不会说话了

Differences between ideas, individuals, and groups are the impetus to the society and human civilization. If in a certain society, all the people hold the same views, then how do revolutionary progress and originality come from(how似乎用得不妥)? That is to say, without differences, then(建议删掉) there will de no need(possibility) to develop, because nobody tries to consider a thing in a different way. People can imagine that if in the last century, Einstein did not come up with special and general theories of relativity that revolutionized modern thought on the nature of space and time, people are still defined by the Newton's classical physics. It is (was)Einstein who paid attention to the differences of subjects when they act in different conditions, (加一连词)the physics goes into a brand-new field-- the relative world. For(Because) there do exist apparent differences between ideas, individuals, and groups, people intend to look into the essence of such departure and research which factor contributes to the distinctness, and then in the procedure of exploring, people achieve more deep(deeper) understanding about these subjects. Therefore in the modern society, different groups of people who hold conflicting views often discuss or debate with each other, sometimes they even attack the opposite. However, such contravention(似乎不妥) not only deepen each part's views via(是否可改为THROUGH?) letting them pay attention to their both superior(不妥,advantages) and drawbacks but also droaden ()their insight towards subjects . So, in a word, without differences, people can not observe the things clearly and can not judge(distinguish) the right from wrong, the sincerity(和SIN并不对应,GOOD也许好一些) from sin and so on, then the society can not develop continuously.

However, similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups also have their own unparalleled values. A society can advance ahead, for all its members have the same purposes---more brighter future, more developed life and more happy time. If there are no similarities towards people, they will conflict with each other all day and may have no time and energy to strive for the overall happiness of the whole human beings. Just like in a football team, the only purpose is to goal more and to win the game. If each member wants to be hero and just play for his own honor, then there always comes dad(bad) luck. Therefore, similarities are the preconditions of cooperation and co-prosperity. Without similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups, people cannot tolerate (及物动词,应有宾语,加EACH OTHER)together and work harmoniously. So many achievements will not exist and appear again. After all, when people unite together corporately for the common goal they often show unforeseen originality and power.

写得很不错,尤其是整个行文比较流畅,除了一些小的错误外,读起来比较顺。只是论述共同之外的地方是不是可以再深入一些?这个俺也说不太好了,只是觉得还可以再insightful一些才好。
