My Comment
Seemingly international adoption solves problems of orphan in poor countries when developed world expressed their philanthropy. However, pursue of benefits sometimes hampers chances of the most desirable outcome.

Nowadays the adoption seems like a market. Certainly demands create supply. So we see in the title that kidnapping occurs, or children who could originally be adopted by relatives or locals now flocked to foreigners’ houses. What’s more, adopted children crossing international borders bring problems when they probably disappear from view. Trader in human beings would be happy if there are some loopholes between original and destined countries.

Cooperation among countries on the issue of inter-adoption should be tighten. Otherwise, children with hope may fall into evil traps.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Comment

The stimulus package of Obama which originated from generosity may warp incentives of people out of work and perhaps bring a harsher consequence.

Benevolence of governments sometime seems otiose but even harmful. However, the market of votes make politician to enact ineffective policies, especially to American which operate system of two parties. Unemployment benefits serve as an example as what today’s article illustrates. Another case in my memory is “American Unjust Sex Law”, that victims described in that article are sex offenders instead of poor kids in common sense. In order to win votes, politicians would promote the most-favored policies when few of them dare to hamper such “benevolence”.

Imong版的论Coherence， 深刻而富有启发！！
https://bbs.gter.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=162385

经大牛文章点化后，个人所悟，Coherence
对ISSUE而言，就是文章必须注意的连贯一致问题，即所谓逻辑不能跳跃甚至离开论述。
对ARGUMENT而言，就是找寻implicit steps或different concepts(通常是confining adj.)从而发现逻辑错误的一项指标。

大牛就是大牛，想东西深刻的同时能以浅显的例子分析背后的道理；
而我等凡夫俗子只会表面上意会却不去深刻体会AW INTRO里评分标准中的这个关键词。

2.【Issue, Argument-Extremely Situation/Case】

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Materials(Ideas/Examples/ Technique)
【Issue- Beginning of an controversial topic】
WORRIES about the damage (that) the internet may be doing to young people has produced a mountain of books—a suitably old technology in which to express concerns about the new.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
My Comment(Logical Fallacy/Ideas/Inspiration)
I am so lucky that I belong to the net generation for several reasons.

First, I could have more convenient and more various accesses to more information through Internet. Google, BBS, E-Books and other web-sites all over the world really help a lot while our predecessors could only be limited in few bookshops and libraries in a small town.

Second, computers and Internet exercise our ability to deal with complex visual information and process multi-tasks as that the author mentioned. In the past, people cannot get such computer tools to train such ability

Some people blame the Net Generation of being bad at communication, socially inept and indifferent to society. However, I do think our generation own strong justice and ready for any chance of improving our society. The author gives us a convinced example. In the recent Obama campaign, youngsters organized themselves through the internet by Blog, Twitter, YouTube and so on to help promote the votes of today’s president. We can see a good command of communication and virtuous social interaction in such events.

刚查资料的时候看到的一篇文，很简短，文意也没多深奥。

鉴于最近略有懈怠倾向，贴进来鞭自己一下，也是和大家分享吧

每个人都有期望 ,不论你愿不愿意你都会产生欲望.但是这不是目标.可以学学如何指定目标 ,计划 和找到每天的行动目标任务这不难 方法呢我建议大家看我博客的友情连接的成功一定有方法的介绍.

但是做到了这些你依然不会知道你能不能达成目标.尽管你可以接受魔鬼训练大喊口号,但是我告诉你经过这个训练的人还是很少有人实现目标.尤其是自己的人生目标和财富目标.

原因非常简单,再好的愿望是靠每天的付出换来的结果.因果关系.因此我注重告诉大家的是叫自己每天清楚的知道自己能不能实现目标.因为你每天的目标任务完成与否是决定你最后成败的关键!

工作中,社会里,人是喜欢推卸责任的这个风气什么时候养成的 我就不明说了,,但是对于个人的生命,你再推卸责任也是无济于事相反是越来越糟糕.

人要为自己每天负责.不是有人的签名说 珍惜每一天吗?怎么才叫珍惜怎么能够珍惜??狭义的讲 :完成今天的目标任务那么就是珍惜..没有完成就是不珍惜 ,没有完成今天的目标任务,你就离你的心愿目标距离远了,习以为常的不完成当天的目标那么我敢肯定十有八九你不会实现你的中期,长期目标,即使你把你的目标定十年后完成 我也给你泼点冷水 ,不会实现的!这就是为什么 ,很多人到老一场空的悲剧原因啊

简单不?很简单,你看自己每天的工作情况就知道自己以后一生的境遇好坏了,人生在自己手中就是这个道理.

知道了问题的严重性那我们该怎么应对呢?我提议用 "得失奖惩法"来创造奇迹------以后别光定目标计划了.加上一个工作环节定奖惩方法.即:每天完成每天的任务怎么奖励自己!每天没有完成计划怎么惩罚自己!要每天惩罚自己没有实现当天的目标!要完成每周目标后每周奖励自己,

注意是奖励大于惩罚的安排技巧大家看仔细了: 每天惩罚奖励加上每周的奖励而不是每周的惩罚.原理这里我就不解释了..

那么每天奖励什么?那就是因人而已 ,我建议是不浪费时间的活动.做自己一直想做却没有时间做的事情.心安理得的快乐最最快乐.因为你离心愿目标更近了.奋斗的路上多么的快乐啊

每天惩罚自己什么?建议叫自己做自己很羡慕但是做了会很累的活动,比如男同志很羡慕健美运动员但是你要是去锻炼那很痛苦的!那么好你就练习这个叫自己痛苦!不是做对自己身体和生活没有好处的惩罚.

每周末的奖励,形式丰富,就不提了.

原则只有一个.将每天活的请请楚楚,不要浑浑噩噩的不知不觉已经不会实现目标了.

人每天都在得失之间徘徊,你没有奖励和惩罚就是对自己的每天都没有责任感.人是需要自我监督的.大家注意的是本方法不需要你受物质和他人影响.为的就是叫你不会把这个责任再推卸到别的什么身上.

很多人看过 <你自己就是一个宝藏>的书,但是结果怎么样?还是没有用!因为他没有每天的自我惩罚和奖励最终还是失败.

要坚持给自己奖励的习惯,要努力给自己奖励!坚持奖励自己努力奖励自己!看坚持和努力这样的词汇其实是用在这个地方的!

现在大家一听坚持 努力 奋斗 毅力 恒心这样的词就头疼,我也是,对有恒心的人 他作什么都会成功 只是时间长久高度有限的问题.而往往人们坚持做的都是错误的事情,这就是非常滑稽的事情了,如果一个人能坚持做对的事情那么这个人将非常有成就!现实是不会的.每个人都很难坚持做对的事情,即使它非常的简单和重要,人也不会坚持做的 ,人的本性是坚持做错的事情!
