136"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."

Some people always complain about their dilemma. For them, making a choice is difficult. On the other hand, others often face some challenge without options. Why they are some different, why someone faces a lot while others have nothing to choose? Do the absence of choice is a situation that is very frequent? When facing with this debate, some optimistists insist that we can always have our options both in our daily life and our vocation. However, objected to their ideas are viewpoints of some pessimistists, including me, who hold the standpoints that we can hardly choose anything when confronting some ordeal becuase the scarcery of our ability, our living condition and our culture.

Obviously, we can always enjoy a myriad of choices in our daily life, where we do not need to deal with some onerous problems. we can eat what we are willing to eat. So various the foods in modern society that we can choose those foods we like even any individual has his own taste. Eastern citizens, like the chinese, can satisfy the appetite by rice, wheat and other cereal, while western dwellers, on the other hand, are very convenient for them to eat meat, milk an so on. Globalization nowadays enables different people to travel all over the world without misgiving about the failure to purchase the meal they enjoy. With the boom of many restaurants, we are capable of buying any kinds of foodstuff in many countries in the world. Similarly, we can dress many garments we like, live in many places we are fond of and travel many places of interest in the world. Therefore, in daily life, seldom should we face the circumstance of no choice.

Nevertheless, except daily life. if we consider other conditions, especially those remarkably difficult for us to address, we always have rare options. Several restrictions result in the absence of choices for us. Some choice for others could not be our choice. First, it is the devoid of our capability that considerably reduce our choice. Compared with a rich citizens in the downtown, a indigent farmer in the rustic area can hardly make many choice about their live. It is not possible for them to enter a cinema to enjoy the three-dimensional movie, to play golf with their friend or to play computer games conveniently. Owning to their lack of ability, experience and money, hardly can their make many choices about their entertainment. What they can do is to repeating the monotonous life day after day.

Secondly, beside the devoid of ability, impalpable information is another factor that restrict their choices. Take how to do investment as a example, some people in the needy countries can only keep all belonging at home, worrying the robbers day and night. People in the developed countries, like U.S.A can deposit their money on banks, can invest in the insecurities market or establish their own companies. But for the destitute, they have no choice.

Thirdly, the culture all have a great impart of our choice. People in Arabia countries cannot eat pork for their religion. Couples in conventional rural district are not allowed to devoice. Moreover, someone are determined to marry with another unavoidably.

To recapitulate, the ineptitude, unobtainable information and culture cause us to face some circumstance where we have no choice. The viewpoint that this condition is seldom disregard our live atmosphere, which exert plenty of regulations on us. Therefore, we always face that kind of situation.

呃，说一下，楼主写的真长！
读下来最大的感觉就是例子奇多，几乎通篇都在用例子说话。个人感觉其实论证更重要些，例子是来辅助的
还有就是楼主以后贴文的时候先world一下，不然这种小毛病有时候很影响看文章
