149.  In any field—business, politics, education, government—those in power should be required to step down after five years.

Write a response in which you discuss your views on the policy and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider the possible consequences of implementing the policy and explain how these consequences shape your position.

再上一篇提纲,欢迎王老师和各位G友指教,特别是也在写这个话题的同学一起切磋。这个题目感觉既要分类讨论(政治,商业,教育),又要涉及这项建议的consequence。所以我的思路是

主旨:政治可行,商业和教育不可行
1政治:换届有助于限制权力膨胀,保护民主制度,否则。。。用智利的反例说后果
2教育:a教育界不存在权力膨胀的危险。例:美国大学校长平均任期12年也没有独裁专断的案例
          b频繁更替会扰乱教育理念的贯彻(此处例子不好找,捉急)
3商业:企业成功在于领导才干,频繁更替会造成人才流失,企业受损。例子:乔布斯对苹果的贡献以及假设他没长期任职可能苹果就没那么成功。

我觉得这个思路挺好 -TS

全文互改小组里也有两篇类似的提纲,感觉一些points挺有借鉴意义。比如:政治领导人在位久了会出现寻租行为,和利益集团勾结;企业和教育界的领导任期长有助于发展人脉,也是公司学校发展的无形资产等。
issue 8/111/149 leaders should step down in 5 years

------------------------------
It is widely recognized that power shift is to an institution as metabolism is to human body. I agree that in order to prevent the abuse of authority, political leaders should resign from their position at a regular basis, say every five years. This policy, however does not apply to the field of business and education, and may even cause undesirable outcomes if it were to be carried out indiscriminately.

power shift这个说法是你自己瞎掰的吧

TS1 Political leaders are endowed with such great power that leadership transition is necessary to restrain them from misfeasance and thus preserve democracy. There is not dearth of counter-examples in the past or at present. 上世纪70年代智利政变后皮诺切特将军担任总统长达17年。在任期间,数千数万人遭监禁、迫害或者失踪。可以说,不加限制的任期助长了皮诺切特的独裁专断,任意践踏人权。此后,智利宪法对总统任期进行严格规定,目前一届任期4年,不允许连任两届,这对于限制总统权力膨胀,维持智利良好的政治秩序有重要意义。

这个例子挺赞 你确定能用英语写出来么


TS2 However it is not necessary and even detrimental for educators to follow suit. For one thing, their power is comparatively limited by the board which is in actual charge of resources that navigate the school. There is little reason to speculate that a university president is able to seek dictatorship.在崇尚民主的美国,大学校长平均任期为12年,并没有出现校长独断专行的例子。 For another, consistent leadership is crucial in practicing an educational philosophy, which is usually better implemented in a gradual way. Frequent power shifts in the administrative level may otherwise result in interruption of the order of teaching and thus the failure of an educational idea.

charge of resources that navigate the school表达有问题
这段的例子不够具体
说理也不够清晰


TS3 In the realm of business where the success of an enterprise largely lies in the capability of its executive level. The policy of regular stepping down tends to be counterproductive more often than not. Because a company may suffer from brain drain if a truly great leader cannot be reappointed after one term in office. 从乔布斯重返苹果公司算起,他担任CEO长达15年。假如他不得不在任职五年后卸任,那么itouch, ipad, iphone等一系列独具创意和竞争力的产品就可能不会出现,苹果产品也可能不会像今天那样风靡世界。

从Jobs的例子中如何提炼出general principle 或者说在位15年和创意之间的关系到底在哪里

总的来说思路和结构都不错
可以写全文 但是论证的细节还有问题

谢谢老师!
纪晓晴的提纲也给看过了

TS2 加了哈佛大学艾略特校长的例子
关于power shift, 在谷歌里确实有看到 global power shift 或者 shift in global power,安全起见我还是改成shift in power

附件是原文,感觉之后练习还得压缩下字数,不然考场肯定敲不完

看到王老师的“例子很赞,但能用英语写出来吗”笑cry.对我们很多人来说,木桶的短板还真就是语言表达,很多好例子啰啰嗦嗦写完时间已经过去10分钟了。
