TOPIC: ISSUE208 - "The way people look, dress, and act reveals their attitudes and interests. You can tell much about a society's ideas and values by observing the appearance and behavior of its people."

Is the way that people look, dress and act give an idea about the values of a society? I don't totally agree with the speaker beacuse besides those cited above, other factors are also able to tell a lot about a society.

The first and the foremost, there is not doubt that how people look, dress and act gives ideas about their attitudes and interests. It is acceptable that how people think can influent the outer character of a certian person. When encountering a man with suit and tie, no one will image him as a hip-hop singer. He is alway regared as a professor working in a research institute or as a CEO of an IT corporation. A man often rushes in a hurry when he leaves home in the morning will never call for the imagination of others about a retired worker. In a word, I agree with the some of the speaker's saying, attitudes and interests can be seen from one's dress and action.
In the second place, it is true that some of the society's ideas and values can be observed by the appearance of its people. Some of the characters are shared within a country. Image it, when seeing a thin and poor girl from North Korea people may come up with the idea that North Korea is a country full of poverty and starvation. A gentleman in England seem to make people regard the UK as a country with many polite people.

However, a sociologist will not get enough information about a society's ideas and values only by observing the appearance and behavior of its people. Some ideas and values of a society can be observed from the appearance of its people. But some are not. The values and ideas of people in a society is also determined by the history and the culture of a society. For example, Chinese culture is influenced by the phylosophy of Confucious. So what Chinese think is Confucious-like. However, American culture is influenced by the phylosohy of Aristotle. Then Americans think like Aristotle did. When Chinese and American are required to do a same thing, both of them can reach a perfect outcome. However, the processes of thinking in their brains are totally different.

In conclusion, when observing the appearance and behavior of people in a society, sociologists can only get some superfacial ideas about it. In my view, a more convenience way to reach the goal is to do research in the culture and the history of a society.


TOPIC: ARGUMENT51 - The following appeared in a medical newsletter.
"Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment."

The author of the newsletter claimed in the newsletter that all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well adcised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment. Though in the newsletter, the author give some examples to support what the author thought. The conclusion of the newsletter is not reasonable.

In the first place, the patients being treated in the research are divided into two groups. However, the division in the research is unreasonable. The author failed to illurstrate how severe are the patients injured in the two groups. The results of the research is acceptable unless the injures of the patients in the two group are just the same. If the author of the newsletter cannot convince that readers about the injures of the patients in the two groups are just the same, the newsletter would keep unreasonable.

In the second place, in the newsletter, it is said that the two groups of patients are treated by two different doctors. However, the two doctors have different special themselves. Even though both of the two groups of the patients are injured at the same extent, the different of the doctors may have an influence on the outcome of the different treatment. However, in the newsletter, the author did not give the reader and information of the capacity of curing muscle injuries. So the result of the research is not convincing.

In the third place, in the experiment, the two groups of patients are treated in different ways. Even though the assumptions that the two groups of the patients are injured at the same extent and that the two doctors have the same capacity to cure muscle injuries have been convinced, the result of the two groups are not comparable. In conductor of the experiment fail to take the immunity strength of different patients into account. It is very possible that in the group of Dr. Newland, patients have a stronger immune system than that of Dr. Alton's. If no such data is provided, the result of the reaearch is not convincing.

In conclusion, the result of the research cited in the newsletter is not convincing and reasonable. To make the newsletter more reasonable, the conductor of the research should provide more facts or the author should cite more datas.
