Issue 3. "It is more important to allocate money for immediate, existing social problems than to spend it on long-term research that might help future generations."

Syllabus:
We need a balance between the two problems.
1, the long-term research provides guidance and weapons for dealing with immediate problems.
2 overemphasizing immediate social problems would result in the damage of not only the future generations but also the current people
3, paying attention to immediate problems is necessary and important.

Just as a famous entrepreneur has said, the key for success is to plan for next day, our society as a whole must also carefully allocate enough social and natural resources into the long-term research that might help future generations while it is absorbed in all kinds of immediate, existing social problems.
First of all, the long-term research on some far-reaching scientific and social problems, as is well known in science, even if only a small part of which could come up to success, will provide humanity with illuminable guidance and powerful weapons in tackling the immediate, existing problems. Without the great breakthrough of scientists’ long-term researches on medicines, for instance, how could our mankind successfully annihilate numerous fatal epidemics such as leprosy, cholera, and smallpox and gradually attain the level of over 60 years in life expectancy?  Without Newton’s great accomplishments in mechanics, could humanity invent so many practical instruments and apparatuses that had brought us more favorable and more convenient lives?
Moreover, on contrary to what most people would expect, not only the future generations but also the current people will also undergo a great loss under many circumstances if we overemphasize the immediate social problems and fail to make provident research and take precautious measures over the long-term social problems. There is an illustrating example occurred in China recently. Since the 1978, China has been constantly emphasizing the paramount importance of economic construction and simply regarding any other long-term things including the sanitation as auxiliary. Under the direction of this policy, China has put almost all her resources into economic construction, with the result that economic growth attained the rate of nearly 10% every year, but the development of public sanitation declined rapidly. More seriously, nobody perceived the dangers of this policy in China until the spring of 2003, when a new fatal epidemic, SARS, first burst out in Gudong province and soon spread into the H.K., Beijing and later all over the world. Suffering from the backward sanitary system characteristic of sluggish reactions and shortage of hospitals, doctors, nurses and other facilities, China quickly bogged down into unutterably disarrangement and many people lost their lives. This SARS event vividly illustrates what will happen to both the future and the current if we neglect the long-term social problems and fail to take provident measures.
Of course, when we highlight the importance of provident research about basic science and long run social problems, we must admit that our society should allocate a very large amount of resources into resolving the immediate, existing social problems. There are primarily two reasons for it: first, the immediate problems are always highly related to the long-term research. For example, out of the short-term economic motives, many automobiles manufacturers are devoted into the innovations on oil-saving products. Undoubtedly, these immediate innovations added together will gradually bring about the revolutionary breakthrough in dealing with long-term problems such as energy shortage and environment contaminations. Secondly, many immediate social problems have developed to such an extent that the interests of the human race would be severely endangered if we failed to undertake strong and effective measures. For instance, the terrorism has approved to be the prime menace to the mankind after the 9.11 event occurred in the U.S. in 2001. If governments through the world did not take powerful measures, terrorists would have destroyed the whole life of human. Therefore, sometimes putting resources into resolving immediate problems is not something whether we should do, but something that we must do if we hope to live safely and comfortably.  
In sum, despite the great necessity and importance of concerns with the immediate social problems, the long-term research about basic science and some far-reaching social problems should not also be neglected and the appropriate means is to keep a deliberate balance between them.

非常好的文章  但我不知道打几分  (正在看薯蛋的分析 每日一评 非常棒)

很赞成 这种 balance 分析模式  这种题目都该这么干吧

SARS的那一段非常好 估计老美会喜欢 SARS值得认真准备一下 可以用到其他地方  比如政府是否要 withdraw information

仍然 有一些值得讨论的地方:
我觉得第一段 就表明balance的立场
象 ETS 那篇关于 通才和专才 的 6分例文的开头一样

第二段  Newton的例子 我觉得 不合适  不清楚牛顿的研究是不是耗费了很多社会资源?


不管怎么样 这是一篇好文章

请版主 高人做进一步分析

BTW:
谁告诉我怎么评分

关于开头一段，我也觉得很难下手。孙远的写作宝典认为要先交待写作背景，然后再引出自己的观点。但也有不少高手认为开门见山摆出观点好。如果用一句话开头，与别人雷同或类似就很难避免了。

把牛顿的例子改为einstein比较好
光电学说，那时没什么用现在是电视的原理

写的很好的，例子也举的不错！我觉得可以打5分。但我觉得你举的差不多都是反面的例子，可否再来点正面的，这样也是一种balance啊。现在建议你练练速度吧

tomatoeggs果然厉害，我的写作速度的确巨慢，慢得惨不忍睹，我都怀疑自己上战场时能否写完300字。 在此请教各位，要练上多少篇issue才能达到45分钟500字的速度？谁能告诉我，提高速度最最多快好省的方法是什么！时间紧迫阿！
