Issue 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. 10-02-09 15:11--16:29 改进：检查后仍有十处拼写语法错误 字数多了 时间久了

The speaker posits that history's chief benefit is to make people understand that they are not very different to people living in other historical periods. But I disagree with the speaker because the study of history tells us there are both similarities and differences between people living in different time in history, and the study of history has more benefits than making us understand this point.

To begin with, study of history benefits people because it demonstrates that people living in one time have much in common in their human nature with people living in other time. And comprehension of this human nature helps people understand themselves better and make more informed decisions. Firstly, people living in different time share some valuable characters and these characters are the virtues of human nature. These virtues involve respecting the old, helping others when they are in need, being friendly and so on. In any time of history, these virtues are considered as the bright part of human nature. But these characters are sometimes forgotten by themselves. Understanding of these virtues as a human nature helps people find themselves again and bring these valuable characters in them out. Moreover, people should also recognize that they, no matter which time they live in, share some flaws as well. It is human nature that they are lazy and love to enjoy, they envy about others sometimes, and they have desires and fears. These characters are inherent in people and do not change with history, environment and living conditions. People do not need to feel shame to admit these bad characters.  Instead, they can deal with these flaws by coming up with good methods transform them as power to proceed.

However, aside from telling people their similarities in human nature with people in other period of time, the study of history also informs us their differences in other respects: their different way of looking on things and treating the world and the other people. Firstly, people in different times of history differ in how they treat women. The ancient people treated women as equal as men, but in later times women's position in society was far lower than man. In Chinese history, only one emperor was woman, and all the other rulers were men, and traditionally, women were required to stay at home because people thought women were less able than men. Only until recently, the position of women are strengthened again and they are now considered as equivalent as men. This difference is cause by the different views and knowledge of people in different time and it shows people's development. Additionally, people differ in how they treat various inquiries. The ancient people treated philosophy as the most fundamental and important inquiry and all the other fields were considered branches of it. But as people's knowledge progressed, they gradually noticed the importance of many fields such as science and art, and these fields finally became separate inquiries. As the information era is coming, people are now aware of the special importance of science and technology since they are the productive power.

Moreover, the study of history has many more benefits as well, except from telling people the similarities and differences among people who live in different time of history. For example, the study of history can let people learn from their predecessors' experience. Knowing the mistakes made by the former people the people today can prevent themselves from making similar mistakes again. And studying from the successful predecessors, they can use their way of thinking and find a closer way to their own success. Without the predecessors' success and failure, Newton can hardly succeed in discovering gravity. Therefore, the study of history gives people a chance to learn from our predecessors and make change by themselves.

In sum, the study of history has many benefits, ranging from informing people of the similarities of human nature and differences of the way people live and treat other people, to giving people the opportunities to study from their predecessors' successful experiences and not to make mistakes they had made. It is the many benefits the study of history has that it is so crucial and necessary to society today.

题目：ISSUE190 - "As long as people in a society are hungry or out of work or lack the basic skills needed to survive, the use of public resources to support the arts is inappropriate-and, perhaps, even cruel-when one considers all the potential uses of such money."

It using public resources to support the arts inappropriate, or even cruel, when there is poverty and unemployment in the society? I concede that too much emphasize on arts would be inappropriate, but the arts is an indispensible part of society even when there is still poverty and unemployment.

The arts are a valuable asset of society and an indispensible part of people's life. We believe that everyone has the mental and spiritual need, as well as physical need. And according to Maslow's theory, even if one does not fulfill his/her physical need, he/she still has the mental needs. And the art form is an effable way to fulfill people's, especially the artist's, spiritual need. Many artists use the arts to express themselves, their emotions, their thought and their feeling about the world. Even if Bach could not make a living by his music and needed help from his friends, he stick to music because it was his mental food, his passion and his life, until he finally died of hunger. Also art is so important to ordinary people because arts give them spiritual consolation. After the 911 accident, many people went to the movie theater to see the movie Mama Mia, which brought them into laughter and tears, and in this way their broken heart finds some comfort. The arts, if so important, whether to the artists and to ordinary people, is an indispensible part to the society. Because it is so valuable, the public resources should give it support in order for it to continue.

In addition, if the public resources only supported the arts after the poverty and employment were eliminated, the arts perhaps would never receive any support from public resources. Poverty and employment are common in every society, and even the richest country in the world, the America, still has the problem of poverty and employment. Excepts for the Communist Society, which is still a utopian now, as long as human beings exist, the poverty and unemployment will company and not be eliminated. If arts could not be supported by public resources until these facets disappeared, perhaps it would never receive support and cannot develop well.

Admittedly, it cannot be denied the fact that too much emphasize on arts in inappropriate. The arts are just one part of society and there are many other indispensible parts of society, and the public resources to support those facets are also of significance. Such facets range from people's living condition and employment to the economic, science and military. But these parts and the arts are not incompatible, because the government can advocate money designedly and reasonably to all these facets. What's more, the thriving of arts can also benefits the other areas, thus help reduce poverty and unemployment. For example, the hip-hop music is a type that born from the African American people, who worked hard and had heavy burden. Hip-hop, as their own music form, not only released their burden by bringing them a happy mood and also rendered their great opportunity--many African American people earned fame and got out of poverty by the music and the hip-hop became the pride of people.

In conclusion, while too much public resources to support the arts is inappropriate, the proper support to arts is necessary because the arts are an indispensible part of society even when there is still poverty. We should also realize that the support to arts and other facets of society are harmonious since the prosperity of art can bring benefits to those aspects.

今天的argu 时间不多了 紧张~~！！！
感觉这篇很难 不知道怎么安排逻辑了~有没有人知道应该怎么写这篇呢~？
还有6天 真是失败了 奋斗了一个月还是不知道怎么写好GRE作文 哎 看来真的是三分了···不管怎样 自己跟自己说加油了···

hurongchildUID: 2595535

还有3天就要考了~之前有点紧张的，现在不知怎么的反而不紧张了，不知为什么~
想来想去，觉得我再怎么努力，结果都不会有太大改变：
90%的可能落在3-4分之间（其实得3的概率是40%，3.5的概率是30%，4的概率是20%）
10%小于3、大于4（小于3的概率是1%，大于4的概率是9%，人活着要给自己一点希望，虽然希望很渺茫，但是仍然得积极乐观~~~）
所以说，复不复习都无所谓了，俺就这个水平了，不会太大改变了~那么多童鞋都得3分，我得一个也没事儿啊~要是上了4分，倒是捡到便宜了~hehe ~~
大家都会好的~
