TOPIC: ISSUE99 - "In any realm of life-whether academic, social, business, or political-the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."

In this era, rapid social and technological changes bring about a complex society wherein people place more emphasis on the reality than the ideals. It seemingly coincides with the common sense that the only way to succeed is to take a practical view but not an idealistic view. Moreover, idealistic ideas tend to be(容易有多用谓语动词) superceded by simpler and immediate options. However, the speaker fails to consider the meaningful role played by idealism not only in our history but also in modern society. Consequently, I find the speaker's claim unilateral with two respects that we can also succeed by taking an idealistic view and that the idealistic views will never be superceded by other options.
In the first place, I must concede the significant function of pragmatic behaviors in our society and the negative influence brought about by idealistic views. For example, in 1966, China initiated the "Great Leap Forward" which was led(容易写错) by Chairman Mao. Facing the under-developed China, the project includes many plans which are considered insane today. People were even instigated to product steel by themselves and used their own cookers as materials. As a result, these ideas are alienated from the reality and caused millions of people dead. In short, ideals should be(容易缺谓语动词) in accordance to the reality and those taking idealistic view blindly could bring about terrible aftermath.
However, we should be aware that(be aware of或be aware that都可以,be aware of that是错的) our development in the fields of politics, economy, science and technology benefit from(短语容易用两个谓语动词) the ideals' lasting values. For instance, during the dark ages in Europe, thousands of artists, scientists and other well educated people were calling for a social revolution. Bruno sacrificed himself at the fire stake for the willing to overturn the religious governing and changed the fallacy in the astronomy which was believed by most of the contemporaty people. Moreover, Da Vinci created his masterpiece the “Last Supper” to reveal the humanism for people and Dente wrote "The Divine Comedy"(注意拼写) to appeal spiritual freedom. Consider, without their idealistic view and their contributions to pursuit these ideals, how can we be what we are today? Hence, I believe we can absolutely being successful by taking an idealistic point of view.
Additionally, the idealistic views lighten out imagination and point out the way to the perfect society for us, and the robot's invention may serve as a proper example here. Asimov, who is a great science fiction writer in our history, described the image of robot several decades before. The people could not believe such an idealistic idea, however, this fascinating idea was noticed by the scientists at that time. With numerous experiments and tremendous amount of work, scientists finally brought this idealistic image into the reality. Today, robots flood our lives and they are helping us build a better society. In this way, pragmatic behaviors and reality could sometime base on the idealistic ideas. Therefore, in my view, idealistic views will never be superceded by simpler and immediate options.
To sum up, I find the speaker's claim fails to consider that idealism can be seen as the source of our forward momentum. As far as I see it, which sort of view does one take would not relate to his achievement directly, it is his ambition and persistence determine his future. What's more, the idealistic views will never be superceded by simpler and immediate options due to the tremendous influence can these views make. |
