17"There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."

221"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history."

个人感觉17比较难写，只写一篇的话那就写17哦，不能再偷懒了。

wk4aUID：2616910

写的时候也考虑过这问题，不过后来觉得这个chief不chief完全没法判断啊。嗯，其实我就该说没有chief与否，也没有必要去区分。

自己要判断啊，然后证明之。不然怎么叫issue？

Taking into account what has been discussed above learning history illuminates that our humanity changes so little along the long course of history.

221"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history."
总观点：从哲学的角度说，任何事物都是普遍性与特殊性的统一体。----越来越同意这句话了。
Entity of the universality and particularity
The speaker considers history tell（两个动词了） us that human beings, as the high grade animal in nature for thousands of years, are significantly different in different periods. I admit that people nowadays are different from their predecessors in some extent. However, I still contend that the basic nature of humankinds are never and will not changed, in other words, each of us is entity of universality and particularity from the philosophical angle.
你可能题目没有看清楚，the speaker是说这个different是个illusion啊。不过稍稍改改就可以了，中心句不错。

As a saying said that history repeats itself in the large because human nature never changes. The essential nature of humankinds is constantly the same for centuries. Fearing of death, striving for better life, desiring of freedom, unlimited expanding desire and the like are the nature of human kinds, even including most of other animals in the world. Though it is known to all that death is an irreversible part of life, just like we have the right to pursue our dreams in a democratic society, we also have the “right” to died, most of people cannot accept it positively. Further more, people who lived（这句话怎么改能通顺一些） from prehistory to modern society ----（lfrom prehistory to modern society， people ）never stopping to work hard for a better life, though the level is varying with time, their solitary goal-better their present life, which is another human nature, has never changed. In addition, just look bank those wars about slavers in history, one can better understand that it is also human nature to be freedom; the statue of liberty embodies the spirit of freedom in contemporary society. The most important essential nature is human unlimited desire, whether physical plane or spiritual plane, largely promoting the process of human history. Just review those great inventions such as automobile, telephone, computer, and all kinds of art, we(为什么不能用逗号？) can feel the allure of human desire. May be it is the realistic reason why there so many people are pursing wealth day and night; so many students are working hard for getting the first-rate education. They all have dreams, though difference, but have one purpose in mind, to satisfy their desire.

However, history also tells us that people in different period have different task, human beings changed the world rapidly, at the same time, and they(为什么要加and才可以) are changed by the whole word. 这句话如果直接说changed的话就是否定上面一段了，要加个限定词，比如表面行为之类的。Humanity has progressed over hundreds of thousands of years, especially in the civilization level, which can be embodied by the history building, from Great Wall to Bird’s nest in China; ability to manage the society, which can be illustrate by those famous manager in all fields; and also human thoughts, there are so many research outcome in humanity, increasing papers published in Nature or Economics everyday.

Therefore, we have to admit that the history vividly tell us the people in different times not only difference, but also have similarity from the dialectical angle. In a word, human beings are constantly variable and relatively stable in the long process of history.

一：思路不粗，说本质是不变的，这里最好举一下例子来对比。全文是说理啊，那当然难写了，写点例子就轻松些。
二、语法错误太多了，关键是谓语不清楚，写的时候注意动词的形式。
三、逻辑没有写严谨，你前面说不变，后面又说变，我明白你的意思，但是你没有在文章里说清楚。要注意变和不变的对比和解释。这样可以写出第三大段。

TOPIC: ISSUE17 - "There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."

Equipped with three symbols: a sword symbolizing the court's coercive power; scales representing the weighing of competing claims; and a blindfold indicating the impartiality, Lady Justice（扫下盲，她是谁哦？还是就是抽象的~） regulates the rule of law. Mostly, society remains harmonious as people obey her. However, there are times when the blindfold is taken off, the scale is at an angle（再解释下咯~） and the sword pinks the innocents. That is when people should resist her who no longer represents justice.（你的比喻用得更不错了~）
Lady Justice 正义女神，born in wikipedia,呵呵
the scale is at an angle 正义天平的倾斜

Written in 350 BC, the Greek philosopher Aristotle declared, "The rule of law is better than the rule of any individual." Based on justice, law shapes politics, economics and society in numerous ways and serves as a primary social mediator in relations between people. The problem, however, is the judgment for its justice. For law-making institutions, they try to balance the whole society, taking every aspect into consideration. As a result, this general principle inevitably sacrifices the benefits of some minorities. And as for individuals, they tend to consider more about their own interests. Comparisons with others usually lead to a conclusion of a partiality of law. After all, the fundamental role that law severs is to adjust conflicts rather than eliminating them. As long as Lady Justice maintains a balance, the whole society would be counting on her. Especially for many developing countries, the steady development overwhelms. （你还从个人的角度考虑了下公正与否~我没想过~）

Firmly as we obey justice, resolute we are when it is necessary to overthrow Lady Justice with a tilted balance. "Civil Disobedience", a venerated architectural landmark would then be admired and preserved. In the 1940's it was respected by the Danish resistance, in the 1950's it was cherished by people who opposed McCarthyism, in the 1960's it was influential in the struggle against South African apartheid, and in the 1970's it was discovered by a new generation of anti-war activists. （这堆例子我怎么几乎都不懂~囧）It is without any doubt that people are always ready to pursuit a law which really represents freedom and justice.  Blood and lives we may loose during the fight, but a promising future is waving.（额，我想表达“在召唤”的感觉）
那些年代的例子是我抄一个文章的，名字就是civil disobedience。

However, our Lady Justice may encounter with some embarrassment when the justice is taken advantage of for vicious purpose. Dennis M, one of the leaders of Ku Klux Klan, once came to a TV station company in Kansas, requesting his video named Ethic and Ration to be broadcasted. This video is obvious about racial discrimination. Though such an unexpected request was protected by law in that every citizen is the US share the freedom of speech, the TV station refused to broadcast the sensitive material because it is actually anti-ethic and anti-ration, also in consideration of the feeling of its subscribers. But it is difficult to handle the law with loopholes（没看懂）. At last, the head announced that the company is a private property and he has the right to refuse Dennis's request according to the property law. The TV station company has set an excellent example that civil disobedience is not necessarily connected with protecting justice, even for the justice purpose.
（这个角度很特殊啊~这例子你哪找的？）law with loopholes：有漏洞的法律。这个例子在我上传到我们群里的三本电子书中的例子。3K党的言论自由。

Citizens, would certainly suffer when Lady Justice is absent-minded. But greater pain occurs when we dislodge her. As the builders of society, we should never forget that justice is for our better life. In this case, we choose the less detrimental way, regardless amenable or disobedient to the law.
（你总是能挖到一个很特殊的思考点~厉害~）

呵呵，你也能充分利用金氏家族啊。

As a saying said（As the saying goes） that history repeats itself in the large because human nature never changes. The essential nature of humankinds is constantly the same for centuries. Fearing of death, striving for better life, desiring of freedom, unlimited expanding desire and the like are the nature of human kinds, even including most of other animals in the world.

In addition, just look bank(back) those wars about slavers in history, one can better understand that it is also human nature to be freedom; the statue of liberty(大写) embodies the spirit of freedom in contemporary society. The most important essential nature is human unlimited desire, whether physical plane or spiritual plane(???), largely promoting the process of human history. Just review those great inventions such as automobile, telephone, computer, and all kinds of art, we(为什么不能用逗号？) (前面算是一个祈使句，那就是完整的句子，连接两个完整的句子怎么能用逗号呢~)can feel the allure of human desire. May be it is the realistic reason why there so many people are pursing wealth day and night; so many students are working hard for getting the first-rate education. They all have dreams, though difference, but have one purpose in mind, to satisfy their desire.（我明白你这段的意思，说人性没有变，可是感觉论证得很零散）

However, history also tells us that people in different period have different task, human beings changed the world rapidly, at the same time, and they(为什么要加and才可以)（你把and和前面的逗号去掉就行了） are changed by the whole word. Humanity（人性是什么，我的理解是人的本性，这是你上面那段话的主要内容，你的意思应该是人类社会human society） has progressed over hundreds of thousands of years, especially in the civilization level, which can be embodied by the history building, from Great Wall to Bird’s nest in China; ability to manage the society, which can be illustrate by those famous manager in all fields; and also human thoughts, there are so many research outcome in humanity, increasing papers published in Nature or Economics everyday.
（感觉看到这段，你又意识到题目中的chief，又看了一遍你开头，感觉这段是再补几枪。说实话，看到这，我始终有点迷惑你的观点究竟是什么。）
Therefore, we have to admit that the history vividly tell us the people in different times not only difference, but also have similarity from the dialectical angle. In a word, human beings are constantly variable and relatively stable in the long process of history.（这个观点其实非常好，但可惜的是感觉你在文中没有很好地阐明。）
（我明白了，你是在说变与不变这个深奥的哲学思想啊。可能我智慧不够，没能很好领悟你的核心思想，等组长回来，让他瞅一眼）

TOPIC: ISSUE17 - "There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."

Words:559
"Law should be believed; otherwise it would be an empty shell." Socrates would rather choose to die than hurt the laws he believed in. Though he was unjustly sentenced to death, his descendants survived to see a more and more just legal system.

Back to the topic, how can we distinguish the just laws from the unjust ones? According to the definition, laws are enforced by the national power; hence the interests of the ruling class are protected by the laws. What is meant by this is that if the society is governed by slave owners, the mass slaves would probably face unjust treatment, which ironically would be reckoned as legal. Similarly, when feudal classes take over the power, farmers could hardly find a shelter under the legal system. From this angle, laws are impartial to the ruling classes; while partial to the ruled ones. Throughout the long course of the history, the ruling classes always assert that their legislation was fair to all the nationals should obey the legislation.

However, should the nationals buy their words and guard the legal system without any doubts? Absolutely not! Multiple events have already proved that. For instance, the French Revolution overthrew Louis XVI, who finally went to his destination, guillotine, together with his laws. Obviously, human beings have the right to trust in justice. Retrospect the development of human society, we discover that only when governing classes rely on the mass people and democracy, their laws are possibly regarded as just. Otherwise, laws are unfair. When Nazi controlled the majority of Europe, their brutalness and heartlessness swept over the Europe. Even the existence of Jews was illicit; as a result, a sizable number of Jews were liquidated. The laws of elimination of Jews were nothing but anti-humanity. At the cost of breaking the strict laws, some Germans saved a lot of Jews.

Indeed, facing those unfair laws, a person with conscience can never live in peace if one obeys them. Though being seemingly powerful, these unjust laws are written to be ephemeral and be resisted. Admittedly such defiance could face sacrifice; yet human society gains advancement through these heroic events. We remembered clearly when Barack Obama mentioned Ann Nixon Cooper who is a 106-year-old black woman in his Election Speech. She underwent the darkness and brightness days of the U.S.: from being abandoned to vote for her gender and the color of her skin to being able to touch the screen and reach for her ballot. Witnessing all the great changes she went through, we should never let our memory of Martin Luther King who led the African-American Civil Rights Movement fade through the time. He fought for the rights of the black who were discriminated by the white, who had no right to study with the white in a same school, and who were abused by the white police but could not appeal for legal protection. He stood high upon, proclaiming aloud that "I have a dream". Though not perfectly, America has changed and will be changed in the future.
