The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Maple City newspaper.
"Twenty years ago Pine City established strict laws designed to limit the number of new buildings that could be constructed in the city. Since that time the average housing prices in Pine City have increased considerably. Chestnut City, which is about the same size as Pine City, has over the past twenty years experienced an increase in average housing prices similar to Pine City, but Chestnut City never established any laws that limit new building construction. So it is clear that laws limiting new construction have no effect on average housing prices. So if Maple City were to establish strict laws that limit new building construction, these laws will have no effect on average housing prices." |
TOPIC: ISSUE11 - "All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems."
WORDS: 688
The global university---a amazing start.
The speaker claims that it's necessary for every nation to help support the establishment of a global university which is designed to cultivate students to be the solvers of the world’s most persistent social problems. I can't agree more with this recommendation, though it might be a bit fanciful, indeed it is a potential effective way to solve those problems.The follwing discussion will better illustrate my point of view.
Most society problems are either derived from deficiency of understanding of others or selfish motivates among people.Social problems such as war, energy crisis and environmental pollution seems to get worse while the progress of industrialization and economic development are skyrocketing, which result in the forming of larger gap between developing country and developed country, the rich people and the poor ones and so forth. It’s the increasing polarized of the society and the huge gap between people that reinforce those social problems. Nations vie to make their own interest maximized and people vie to make his or her economic situation optimized ,however,they have little interest in acknowledging the possible undesirable consequence brought by their undue behavior. For example, many developed countries’ company settle their new factories in or even move their old factories to the developing countries either for the effective but low paid workers or for the little commitment they should make to the environmental pollution brought by themselves. All the thing these businessman care about is the profit and thus the ruin of the forest is none of their business at all.They don't know there lies great value of biological diversity in the forest thus they keep cutting down trees without any regret.The Amazon rain forest, once the biggest rain forest in the world, filled with various species of animals, is facing the threat of diminish because of the excess exploitation of the foreign wood industry cooperates, which may risk being accused by environmental activist in their motherland for doing the same thing they do in Amazon , for instance, simply cutting down a tree.
Fortunately, those problems we mention above are exactly the main subjects that the global university will use every advantage to solve.Ant that's why i fundamentally support the speaker's claim.Students of the global university are tend to look at a society problem in a different perspective, and may be, a boarder one than the adults who are now the chargers of the world. The global university should of course abhor any selfish agenda or motive of a institution or a nation as well as a war between two countries whose leaders are not even willing to strive for possible agreement for the citizenry’s sake. Thus, students of this university are endowed with an international perspective, that is, considering any social problem in the respect of the interest of all human being rather than a specific nation or organization. All these society problems would vanish in no doubt while more and more graduates from the global university become the elite of the society. How could a wood industry company deplete the Amazon rain forest while the CEO of this cooperate regard those plants as lovely as his or her own backyard garden? How could a war escalate while the presidents of two countries, with opposing economic and politic interest, are willing to throw away the weapon in hand and sit down to talk,which,though may be just a tentative attempt to understand the other’s legitimate concern of national security, and stability of economic and so forth. How could racial discrimination still exists while more and more people, with the international spirit, graduate from the global university.Besides,all nations, perhaps more precisely, every individual will be the beneficiary of the global university. More and more reciprocal pacts between nations will be made since nations discard their trade barrier ,which was used for their own good at one time .More and more scientific research projects will make great progress since scientists around the world incline to declassify his or her once confidential research statistics once stored for privy academic competition.
In sum up ,a global university established by all nations is badly in need. Not only because it will solve those society problems, but also it will serves the interest of all human beings, that is to say, updating the quality of every individual’s daily life. The only thing we should do is to advocate this amazing idea and make all the politic leaders learn the tremendous merit of this plan.
