Issue 12  "People’s attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic."

Syllabus:
Agree: 1, only according to objective situation or surroundings rather than individual characteristic, can a rational decision be made. Example includes The Pearl Harbor event in the Second World War.   
2, for most people, the influence of surroundings imposed on them is too powerful to keep free of it.  Individual characteristic is developed within the traditions, norms, values and worldviews.
3, people often make certain compromise under the pressure from surroundings and the multitude at the cost of their own characteristic or opinions.   

Though many people take it for granted that they decide their attitudes with their own hearts, once we deliberately check on the relationship between surroundings or immediate situation and individual characters, we must be sincerely convinced that, for the most part, it is the former not the latter that determines our attitudes.  

As gregarious animals, most people concerns and must concerns about how their neighbors, colleagues, and friends appreciate them. Of course, they don’t hope to receive such undesirable fames like stubborn, radical, conservative, and prejudiced or else. That is, every people living in groups, as long as they have a normal mentality, is trying to determine their attitudes in an objective, justicial manner in order to obtain their peers respects. But how to attain the objectivity and justice? The indispensable condition is to decide in terms of what the matter should be in itself(“事物的本来面目”是否这么说来着？). Therefore, under many circumstances, especially when the matter or situation is not too complicated and disputable, most people’s attitudes are primarily determined by the current situation or surroundings. As for individual characteristic, it only plays an inconspicuous little role submitting itself to pervading surroundings. A illuminating example is the Pearl Harbor event in the Second World War. Though Americans have built up a custom hating the war, opposing any propositions that would possibly complicate the U.S.A. into the war. But when the Japanese attacked suddenly the Pearl Harbor, all Americans awaked that it was impossible to keep out of the world war, soon shifting their attitudes to stand up the fight to the end. The shifting of attitudes was rational and timely, because it’s made on the right judgment of situations or surroundings. This case vividly indicates that only according to objective situation or surroundings rather than individual characteristic, can a rational decision be made. Fortunately, this is just what most people do in their usual time.

People’s deciding attitudes mainly on the basis of situation or surroundings stems from not only their pursuit for truth or justice, but also their susceptibility to the influence of surroundings and the multitudes. People grow within certain surroundings of customs, traditions, norms, values and worldviews. This determines that most people in a certain group are bound to share some common opinions or values, binding to some responsibilities and norms. What the group values is just what the individual valves, and what the group despises is just what the individual despises. Seldom people can keep free of this law. This is why many Americans show sympathy for the F.L.G. (法论功是否这么写？)  while most Chinese people tend to condemn it, and both sides fails to understand what each other do behavior. They are educated and grow under quite different cultural backgrounds and value systems. No matter how strong an individual’s characteristic is, in the end it will be submitted itself to its surroundings and traditions, or at least make some compromises. Or otherwise, he or she will find the surroundings becoming too forbidding to survive. Of course, those who can go behind these stereotypes do exist, like Newton, Einstein, who had the genius to entirely change the surroundings. But this kind of people is very very few. Even the provident president during the Second World War, Roosevelt, couldn’t break away form the inhibitions of surroundings, in that he failed to persuade the American into joining in the war before the burst of the Pearl Harbor event.     
   In sum, it is primarily according to the situation or surroundings rather than our own characteristics; we determined our attitudes, whether actively or passively, rationally or blindly.  (592 words)

冒昧说几句，仅仅是个人感受，如果有错，请砸我砖头！

我觉得你这篇文章的论述与你的主题有一点不相符，
特别是第三段：你花了大段的文字论述了个人与他所生长的环境之间的关系 "People’s deciding attitudes mainly on the basis of situation or surroundings stems from not only their pursuit for truth or justice, but also their susceptibility to the influence of surroundings and the multitudes. People grow within certain surroundings of customs, traditions, norms, values and worldviews.

They are educated and grow under quite different cultural backgrounds and value systems. "我认为这些话应该是来论证 internal characteristics 的，但是你得出的结论是 “No matter how strong an individual’s characteristic is, in the end it will be submitted itself to its surroundings and traditions, or at least make some compromises. Or otherwise, he or she will find the surroundings becoming too forbidding to survive. ”这似乎和题目中所谈的的 immediate situation or surroundings没什么关系，甚至是论证了反面的观点。
总的来说，我觉得你对这个题目的理解有一点偏差：把 internal characteristics 理解得过于狭隘，(认为其是不受surrounding and situation 影响的), 同时，你把“immediate situation or surroundings”这个概念扩展为了“situation or surroundings”（是读题不仔细？）

"People’s attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic."

my view is that people's attitudes are determined by the their  judgement on the immediate situation.  both the immediate situation or surroundings and  internal characteristic of people have influence on the judgement however it is made.    the formation of one's  judgement on special things is experiencing a long time  and come from diverse factors.
不一定要接受标题中的某个观点吧，可以另辟论点，特别是观点不容易展开时

一点意见。。

我觉得你这篇文章的论述与你的主题有一点不相符，
特别是第三段：你花了大段的文字论述了个人与他所生长的环境之..

这篇文章我想从两个角度论证我的观点：一，在决定自己的态度时，每个人都希望尽可能地保持公正、客观，因而会尽量从当时具体的形势和环境出发，也就是从事务的本来面目来决定自己的态度；二，个人的性格特点是受环境制约的，个人永远无法摆脱风俗、习惯、价值观、舆论、制度等文化背景的约束。人们在决定自己的态度时，实际上反映的是当时的环境（包括人文环境）的意愿。

我也是个新手，语言表达能力还是很差，词不达意是经常现象。但我的确不知道以上分析思路是否真的偏离了主题！请各位高手继续指点迷津！
任何批评都我极其欢迎的！再次感谢00fox！！

the internal character, which is shaped by social convention, custom, moral, and valure, plays a significant, or say esssential role in making indivdual decision. for instance, people's attitude towards 9.11 terriorism. american's attitudes towards democratic lives, which are determined by america history, which includes many great figures, such as washinton, franklin, jefferson, lincoln, rooselvet, martin luther king. another example involves the people who believe in christianicism.
in addition, the people in Latin America. riture and ceremory.
everyone's behavior, habit, character,and perference is as individual as fingerprints.

people's choices are seldom determined by surrounding.

in some special situation, we should not ignore the influence of circumstance on making individual decision. For instance, ??????new problems such as the coloning????

no idea.

可能是我把immediate situation or surroundings理解得过于宽泛，而把internal characteristic理解得过于狭隘。 我再好好想想！多谢各位！
