The mockery is so complete that the whole foundation of our education must now be questioned.


Education has pinned its faith to a fictitious 'progress,' blandly believing that man is a romantic creature destined去往。。的 to walk the road of evolution 'more and more unto the perfect day.'


The realm of education may be like a field within a farm: it may cultivate a special crop. But the crop must still serve the purpose of the whole farm."

Comment:

This article is talking about the aim and significance of education.The defination of education aim is considered by the author as suspended judgment,which is not possible in any deeper level of life.Under the countersign of man’s nature and destiny,education is been transformed servicing for special aims.
I am fully agree with the author that the aim of education should devote on cultivating formation of virtue or inherent character,besides,the method of how to learn.Summing up,the education should aim to tell us what the world is and how to acquaint the world.Respect to the detailed knowledge,it should be leaned by onself according to different needs.
I have strong feelings on the vivid comparation.The author assimilate the realm of education to a field within a farm: it may cultivate a special crop. But the crop must still serve the purpose of the whole farm.While we complain hardness of getting a job,many of us realized that we have not master a kind of professional skill.Let us seriously reflect on what we learned during the four years’ education,a kind of forein language or the systemic knowledge of a speciality?Confronting job experience,any of these fades out.If the education carry out under certain circumstance,especially combining learning with practice,we should learn more usefull knowledge.With a clear goal,we should program our four years’ education more signifaicative.

Comment:


I am wondered by the result of survey concerning about which search engine people like more,Baidu or Google.I think all long that Google appeals more people as a domestic tool in our daily life.As in my oppion,I accustomed to use Google all the time,because I like the simple but colourful modality of page,which looks so orderly and comfortable.Moreover,compared with the indigenous search energy—Baidu,Google has a range of convenient function it does not have such as GoogleScholar and Picasa—a kind of photo manage software.Especially the GoogleScholar helps me a lot in searching for English literature,which I could not get full text in the database.I would be adapt a long time without Google that play an important role in my life.
Reffering to the uncensored content I have been known for the first time after reading this article.I am not realy clear about whether the problem is about the feasibility of our business operations in China or about sensative topics and uncensored content.If it is the latter reason,I would rather willing that Google been pull out of the country,on the contrary,if it is the first reason,I wish we should get consensus on this problem and we shoule still use Google.cn.

Comment:


Refferring to this topic about women and work,like what the article says,women are gradually taking over the workplace.As a female,I am glad to see women already make up the majority of university graduates in the OECD countries and the majority of professional workers in several rich countries.Then we shoule say women are not inferior to men in the aspects of wisdom and ability,even more patient and carefulness being competent for some kinds of jobs than men does.
The author mainly argued about the relationship between women’s work and child-care problem.This article points out some problems such as having combined high levels of female participation in the labour force the government with a reluctance to spend public money on child care,and childless women earn almost as much as men, but mothers earn significantly less.It is certain that women take well care of children than men and children with more love from mother should thrive healthy.Because of this,women afford more presure than men to some extent from both worki and familiy.Therefore,
governments should make life easier for women and supply more flexible working for them.

Regardless of how successful a particular attack might be, it is less likely to become the basis for a long-term solution to the challenge posed by a determined proliferator than would be a negotiated bargain. We saw this in the case of Iraq.

Comment:

Mr Wald think over this problem from wider prospect,he argued that military action is necessary with the reason that we are running out of both time and options,and we should not give Iron time to build up fortifications and defences.Considering the risks of failing to stop Iran's nuclear programme, there are positive role the military option plays in averting a nuclear weapons-capable Iran,such as air strikes may disclosing the previously unknown locations of Iranian facilities as Iranian forces move to protect them.
On the other side, Mrs Landau consider this problem from the more detailed aspects,listing several realistic problems we have to face,pointing out bombing Iran's nuclear facilities is not going to achieve that goal that the world would be a safer place.
I side on Mrs Landau’s oppinion. No American general is eager for war. But a negotiated settlement has the best prospect of improving regional conditions over the long term.

For us, the democratic faith . . . rests on被搁在，停留在 a religious conception of human destiny


"It is not the business of public education to secure adherence to any particular religious system. . . . But we believe it is the business of public education to impel the young toward a vigorous, decisive personal reaction to the challenge of religion. . . . A first step is to break through the wall of ignorance about religion and to increase the number of contacts with it."


[It deserves study] conducted with at least as much respect as is given to the great secular长期的 classics, and devoid of arbitrary interpretations to the same extent. . . ."*



[Religious education] is not something to be added on to the school curriculum课程, but rather something to be integrated with it"—in existing classes on history, sociology, psychology, economics, philosophy, literature, music, the fine arts.


On all sides we see the disintegration瓦解 of loyalties . . . the revival of ancient prejudices, the increase of frustrations, the eclipse衰落 of hope. . . . Religion at its best has always been an integrating force, a spiritual tonic滋补品 for a soul racked by fear and cringing in weakness.



Comment:

This article is talking about the exclusion of religion from the public schools and colleges.The committee established for solving this problem proposed several suggestons on how to break through the wall of ignorance about religion and to increase the number of contacts with it.

I always regard religion as some kind of belif(belief) for a small group of people,with which they are more solidary with each other,particularly, a more tough heart as a result of the sturdy and holy belief.After reading this article,I further recognized that religion infiltrate and exist on history, sociology, psychology, economics, philosophy, literature, music, the fine arts.It is the resonate of spiritual field,and returning to the nature of onself and simple essence of substance in the complicated real world.Moreover,the religion includes spiritual heritage of previous generation.

Respecting to those measures,I acknowledge though the literal meaning the contemporary religion caese to be lengthy and elusive any more,indeed,integrated with school curriculum,existing great secular time.

周日写的Issue 125--"The past is no predictor of the future."

It is not easy to understand the complexcity（complexity）
of the world. If the past is possibly predict the future, then we can walk along the settled way to get good outcome we want. It is more of a fundition（ foundation） that past does to future.

I endorse that we can predict general trend of some future events on the basic of（on the basis of） obsevation (observation), experance (experience), or scientific reason we gain from the past. The weather report has the ability to tell us when the raining comes, and the scientists can foretell the time solar eclipse take place. With the increasing polution( pollution) people behaved on the earth, we could forecast that the global warming trend should coming soon. If we mankind persist on behave on（in） this way, the Antarctic ice will melt and sea level is(will)
keep rising destroy our living surrounding. Although the past confers some inevitabilities to the future events, the past is no predictor of the future for most of the time.
  
In most of the situations, the past is helpless when facing the future, taking the instance of earthquake, a world wide difficulty on prediction. The earthquake, we mankind persecuted deeply by the big calamity, can not been predicted by scientists having griped
mounts of information gathered from the past. A lot of measures have been bring forward on surveillance of earthquake, insofar as we can, we only could foretell it a few hours before that happened, according to the unmoral phenomenon of plants and animals. Indeed, nothing we can do besides this.
   
So why the past is
no predictor of the future? By definition, predictor is to declare or indicate in advance, especially foretell on the basic of observation experience, or scientific reason. In other words, predictor is defined as subjective consciousness established on the experience getting from the past,after all those contain the propensity of men. However, the real world is complex and composed with numerous factors, and as human beings we can not hold all, indeed, it is impossible for us to forecast the future with the knowledge collected from the past.

Nevertheless, that does not mean the past is useless to the future, and we should not neglect the research on the future. We human beings generation by generation focus heavily on understanding the past in order to making use of it and serving for（service）
the development of the future. Taking the experience from economic crisis, as some economists point out, downturns can act as a "good cold shower for the economic system”, releasing capital and labor from dying sectors and allowing newcomers to recombine in imaginative new ways. The economic crisis leads us review the model of economy, keeping suffering losses from next economic crisis. There is an adage said learning history is to be wisdom. As for a nation, looking back into the future is a self-censorship, a momentum for the progress of a race. We bear in mind the history of bullying, letting us strive to move forward. That is the past brings to the future.
We should not stay in the process of learning the past, besides, looking into the forward together reinforce the development of society. Eternal truths will be neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meaning for every new social situation.
The past is no predictor of the future, by some means, confers some inevitability to the future.

Comment:


This is article is a little hard for me,but I caught some useful knowledge from it.Firstly, the art can promote the development of economy and supply job opportunities for society.The NEA has done significative thing for steadly enlarge cultural opportunities for all our citizens,and enlarge the access of all our people to artistic creation,those saved that institution from extinction.But in the morden times,the NEA seems to circumscribe publics’ attention focusing from national heritage such as ballet to sitcom pilot,which unlike the American art committing to free enterprise and self-determination.As a result of the author proposed that you should be equally wary of the NEA acting like investment bankers.
I support the artists persisting in their free style and self-determination,and that is what I persue in my life.
