ISSUE 120

“So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present.”

At the first sight of the idea we may think it is reasonable, but take a careful look we will find it is entirely absurd. in the era of rapid social and technology change leading to increasing life complexity and psychological displacement, it is emphasized to study more new knowledge in order to adapt the rapid development of technology.In response to the issue, we need analyze the nature of it comprehensively from the dialectic prospective and make it clear that under the skin-deep fierce debate on whether we should take a look back for an understanding of the past, issues of controversy and consistency are at stake. I do admit that we should conduct the judgment via case by case analysis.

As an old saying goes: past is the mother of now and future like failure that of success.A well understanding of the past means a well understanding of who we are, what we have done and how should we behave in future. Failure is the mother of success, so the most terrible situation is not failure itself but not to analyze the failure and summarize experience from it. By the same token, past is there waiting us to analyze and get experience from it. In the past decades, we human being witness the miserable consequence and immense loss of either economic or spirit two world wars bring. A introspection is needed for we can never sustain another war at all. To sum up, looking back for an understanding of the past provide a good guidance for living in the present and future.

At no other time then in our present time has the need for looking back for an understanding of the past. Take the deterioration of environment for example, for too many years American's have persuaded themselves that the environment was in no danger. But when we make a compare between now and past, we will find there is a big difference. Especially when taking a look back for what we have done to the earth by the past several decades after the second industrial revolution. Not only is the landscaped destroyed and the invaluable plants and animal life are also destroyed, and these can never be recovered. The world must get a well understand for the past and find a way to come together so that there will be a tomorrow for everyone. In a word, looking back for the past frequently, and getting an understanding of who we are and what we have done, can provide a better guidance for how we should behavior in the present and future in order to achieve a better future.

As an old saying goes: past is the mother of now and future like failure thatof success【这是两句吧，貌似有点不够名门出生的味道啊，说是an old saying不大好吧】.A well understanding of the past means awell understanding of who we are, what we have done and how should we behave infuture. Failure is the mother of success, so the most terrible situation is notfailure itself but not to analyze the failure and summarize experience from it.By the same token, past is there waiting us to analyzeand get experience from it. In the past decades, we human being witness themiserable consequence and immense loss of either economic or spirit two worldwars bring. A introspection is needed for we can never sustain another war atall.【再补一句这个论述会更加强大】 To sum up, looking back for anunderstanding of the past provide a good guidance for living in the present andfuture.

At no other time then in our present time has the need for looking back for anunderstanding of the past. Take the deterioration of environment for example,for too many years American's have persuaded themselves that the environmentwas in no danger. But when we make a compare between now and past, we will findthere is a big difference. Especially when taking a look back for what we havedone to the earth by the past several decades afterthe
second industrial revolution. Not only isthe landscaped destroyed and the invaluable plants and animal life are alsodestroyed, and these can never be recovered. The world must get a wellunderstand for the past and find a way to come together so that there will be atomorrow for everyone.【怎么说呢，环境的变化是现代化进程的一种不良恶果，但是对比过去能得到的结论也只是现在的环境恶化了，若是要得出关于who we are and what we have done的结论，中间缺少了关键的过度性论述，显得例证有点牵强】
In a word, looking back forthe past frequently, and getting an understanding of who we are and what we have done
【重复了，莫非这个是结尾？】, can provide a betterguidance for how we should behavior in the present and future in order toachieve a better future.
