[1106]I lOVE AW小组招新

kaitlyn_ttUID: 2763865

1．该小组为4月AW作文备考小组。大家可以通过修改别人的文章拓展思路；如果发现别人某段的逻辑存在缺陷，自己下回可以避免类似的错误；如果别人的逻辑证十分出色，自己从中也可以学到相应的技巧。
2．每周五晚12：00以前上传2篇ISSUE，1篇ARGUMT，所有题目均为高频题目前30（北京地区）。

3．大家加入这个小组之后，我会给每人分配一个序号，这样便于大家从共享中下载修改别人的作品，也不至于造成混乱的现象。

4．本小组不提倡每天1 ISSUE & I ARGU的AW备考方式，我觉得这样做的唯一好处是熟练，但是对拓展思路、充实论证的影响收效甚微。但如果基础不是很好的话，每周2篇ISSUE，1篇ARGUMT也是不够的，就我个人的计划而言，我每周会至少写3篇ISSUE，2篇ARGU, 6篇ISSUE提纲，7篇ARGU提纲，每天做5个左右句子翻译然后对照原句，每天积累1-2个例子。大家可以根据自己的情况定出计划哈！
5．有一些新成员加入后，我们的AW计划就可以开展了，希望可以从2月21号开始，每周最好能根据大家的时间进行一次小组讨论，讨论这周的题目或者自己写其他题目时遇到的困难。平常没事的时候也可以随便嚷嚷两句，闲聊一下，嘿嘿，大家互相帮助，先过了AW这关！
6．由于每周只上传一次作业，量又不多，希望大家能够及时上传作业，这样便于其他人修改。由于突击的话一天也能够写完2 ISSUE & I ARGUMT, 所以，对于不能按时上传作业的偷懒者，不要怪我直接把你踢出群外哦。

大家在加入小组前先发篇写过的ISSUE让我拜读一下吧，发到帖子下面就可以啦，顺便再写上你的QQ号，考试时间和地点，无论你在什么地方考试，只要你想加入，随时欢迎！

The best way to understand the character of a society is to examine the character of the men and women that the society chooses as its heroes or its heroines

Do heroes or heroines reflect the character of their society?
As the old saying goes, “society creates heroes, or vice verse”. From my perspective of the topic, I agree partly: the characters of heroes or heroines reflect the character of the society they live in, but not all, even part of them are not in accordance with the pace of their society.
    Heroes or heroines go with the main stream of their times, and at the same time lead people to develop the society. No doubt, they are the most characteristic representative. There are several reasons contributing to the proposition. First and foremost, Renaissance was a historical period which the European humanist thinkers and scholars made attempts to get rid of conservation in feudalist Europe and represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity. Dante Alighieri, with long poem "absolute being song”, was the last poet of the Medieval, in the meantime again was the first poet of a modern era."The last supper"and"the virgin on rocks", the works of Leonardo Da Vinci, though they derived from the Bible, the character in painting existed in real world. England dramatic world's giant, Williams Shakespeare
exclaimed in his script, “the human is the universal essence, and myriad things spirit is long."In addition, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt and Joseph Stalin, they are not only the leaderships of the Allies in World War Two, but the most charming and charismatic brand of that dark times as well. From different countries, with different believes and in different systems, they campaigned with each other side by side, for one common aim: to die out the Nazi and bring back the peace to the whole world. Furthermore, we scan from Thatcher in Britain to Tymoshenko in Ukraine. We witness Hillary became the Secretary of State instead of Rice. We are stunned by whether Sigourney Weaver in Alien or Angelia Jolie in Salt on the big screen. All above show the Feminism prospers after war, which advocates equality between genders in all areas.
    No medicine can cure illness under any circumstances, so does the statement above. Not all of hero's characters are mirror of their society, and some even go too slow or too fast compared with the pace of their times. Sir Newton and Chairman Mao are the best proof, respectively. Sir Newton is one of the greatest scientists in history, whose contributions to Mathematics and Mechanics reflects the scientific spirit of his times. However, in the old age of the celebrity, he indulged himself in the theology and restored the ancient way. On the contrary, Chairman Mao, the Creator of People's Republic of China, is appraised as"70 percent merits, 30 percent mistakes”. The latter means his "left" thought spread the Communist Party, which surmounted Chinese national condition at that time, and set out the Cultural Revolution. The so-called "disaster “brought unexpected losses and deaths.
    Consequently, due to analysis and reasons mentioned above, which sometimes intertwine to form an organic whole and thus become more persuasive than any one of them, we may safely arrive at the conclusion that heroes or heroines are the most characteristic representative, but not all of their characters reflect their society.

6、"The most effective way to understand contemporary culture is to analyze the trends of its youth."


I agree with the speaker’s broad assertion—to understand contemporary culture of a particular society, analyzing its youth is somewhat effective, especially in some aspects such as education, diet and festival culture. However, I take exception with the claim when it comes to the directions of life style and marriage.
It seems that educational style of a certain society today develops from that of many years ago. Consider the disparity in education between China and western countries. A very-long-time history and instructing method of reciting classical literature which used thousands of years ago determines that the main method of study for Chinese students is theory learning, for the reason that reciting all these historical knowledge about the country and literature leads to very little time left for students to learn other knowledge by practicing, while the students living in western countries do. It is just the overriding factor contributes to the phenomenon that students from China have a very ponderable schoolbag and sit in classrooms all day for their countless courses and tests from an early age whereas students from western countries spend most their school time in the laboratory for scientific research or acquire data they need for practical value outside.
It also seems that analyzing the trends of a society’s youth is the best way to understand its contemporary culture with respect to festival culture. Nobody would be disputable with the argument that every nation will always respect their own traditional festivals, because almost each festival represents the people’s respect to and their proud for some heroes or heroines who had made titanic contribution to the whole country or even the human beings or to far-reaching historical events. Thus, the means of celebrating festivals are often related to the persons or the events, and studying the societies’ youth is the most effective way to understand festival culture today.
On the other hand are two compelling arguments against the speaker’s assertion. The first is that people’s lives have changed so much--especially today’s technology takes us into a radically new period abounding with information--that they differ from which of many years ago. For example, we can gain any information we need by surfing on the Internet or other media—such as television and broadcast, and even buy anything we want on the net rather than stepping out to the store or supermarket, which people might feel unimaginable. Additionally, much work done by people is completed by computers or machines, or even robots.
The second argument has to do with marriage. With the improvement of society, many aspects of people’s life vary, including marriage. Obviously, today’s higher divorce rate day after day is attributable to change of life tempo and people’s conception of family rather than traditional culture. For Chinese forebears, obligation and allegiance to their family are more important than happiness of their own, especially for women.
In sum, to understand a society’s comprehensive culture of today, besides analysis of the trends of its youth, it is necessary to acquaint its economic, social and living knowledge of present.

"How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society."

I agree with the speaker that in this more and more globalized society, a well-socialized person can get the upper hand in the fierce competition, but we should also realize that sociability is not the only element determining a person's destiny, not alone the destiny of the whole society. And the truth is the speaker's concern that we do not know how to raise the children who can bring about a better society is also lack of prove.

First, we should notice our society is deeply influenced by the technology improvement and a change of lifestyle which abridge the distance between each other and protrude the significant role of communication. In America, for example, how a teenager is socialized today can even be quantized by the number of friends on he or her homepage on Facebook. And no one can deny that a well-socialized person can always get more opportunities than others. Another example goes that top 500 companies always prone to hire the extrovert with eloquence and sociability, especially on the management positions. So undoubtedly sociability is what we all should improve.

However, sociability does not determine the destiny of society, and there are other abilities which are equally important.  Although well-socialized ability does help Bill Gates to establish his software empire, one should not ignore his talent in computer and acumen in business are the indispensable cores of his success, same thing goes with Steven Jobs and Michael Dell. To these people, we can hardly definite whether their talent in computer or their sociability that contributes most. And to some extent, if one is the best at his domain, then sociability is not that important or necessary. John Nash is a well-respected economist in Princeton, well- known for his game theory(which grants him the laurel of Nobel Prize)  as well as the mental disease inflicting him. He is, no offence, a idiot in sociability, but ,with respect, a hero in economy and mathematics. Although bad at sociality, his contribution to our society is mountainous. There's a wealth of examples in arts too, one is Vincent Van Gogh, his mental disorder makes a bad-socialized man but incites his boundless imagination of arts, and makes his paintings the resplendent diamonds on arts' crown. From this perspective, sociability may plays a counterproductive role in Van Gogh's career.

And I was kind of confused about the speaker's concern that parents don't know how to raise children to bring about a better society. In my opinion, this ability is not the one parents, or anyone, can teach. Whether the children can bring about a better society is more relevant to themselves. Parents can only inculcate the principles, values and the moral code, but have their children learned, and eventually accepted parents’ instructions? That’s a different kettle of fish. Abraham Lincoln was born in a cobbler family, he rarely received any instruction from his poor father but eventually became the greatest president of America. On the contrary, Nero Claudius, born in a noble family and received the best education from his parents, became a notorious despot. From these we can tell parents’ instruction doesn’t necessary relate to their children’s future.
