"The goal of politics should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather the search for common ground and reasonable consensus."
The primary goal of politics is to safeguard the right and property of ordinary people and sustain the sound function of society. The search for common ground and reasonable consensus is necessary to reach such goal. The search for common ground and reasonable consensus(出现两遍了。要换个说法) is the(can be an) impetus for the development of society. And(注意,连词,前面必须有东西才行。这里要改成in addition) it sustains the function of (少个冠词)well-established government. The reasonable consensus is not only needs() come from 【the majority people】(应加个of或者去掉people), but also (少冠词)needs【 to be accord with】(这是啥?)the laws of nature.
The search for common ground and reasonable consensus(哇,第三遍) is one of the impetuses for the development of society(机械地重复上文,像是在凑字数). For example, American founders guided the 【American】(去掉就行,因为是给美国人看的文章。正如不比对中国人说“中国抗日战争”中的“中国”一样)War of Independence through search for the common ground and reasonable consensus. American people 【were long for】 liberty and equal right as British. They want an independent country 【instead colony of British】(instead of merely a colony of the British). 【The willing{ness}】 for liberty is also the reasonable consensus among people all over the world. So(注意,连词,前面必须有东西才行。这里要改成therefore) the army of American got not only the support of American people but also 【the assistance from international people, such as France】(病句。France不是一种people。另外,这句话里面people这个词太多了). It is the reasonable consensus that provides the common motivation for a better society. The example of antiracism can illustrate the point. The consensus of 【racism equal】(不地道)not only inspired the American Civil War but also the motivation for the independence program in Africa. The racism equal(equality) is 【out from】 the human’s interest. It reflects the elevation of civil. The equal right between people 【motivate】(motivates) people 【to be dedicated】(学术性文章中要少用被动语态。另外,这里用的也不对。) to a larger society. The history has already showed us that people with different descent(descendant?), such as Africa-American, Asian-American, have【contributed to】(made contributions to) the development of America. The common ground and reasonable consensus(第四遍了) motivate 【the society advance】.
Furthermore, the politics(你想说policy?politics是个总称) which can’t reach the common ground and reasonable consensus(第五遍了) will not last long. It was already or is going to be torn down. For example(不要总是用for example), in ancient China, people 【were long for】 unite and peaceful life. The emperor Ying searched for such consensus, so he could establish [the] Qin dynasty. However, after the foundation of 【Qing】 dynasty, the emperor put aside the consensus and tried to reach a so-called ideal society with the high concentrated right in the hands of corrupt few. Then 【Qing】 dynasty lost the support of ordinary people and aristocracy. It existed for only 15years. History is replete with such examples. It also exists in modern society. The ideal for fascist could not find support from majority of people too. Hitler violated the humanity. The way he got and expanded right was not accord to the consensus. So the right he got did not last long. The consensus of majority people makes sure the function of politics. Any government [,]which does not respect the reasonable consensus will forfeit 【it】 leadership 【at last】(in the end).
In addition, the goal of politics has to be accord of not only consensus, but also the Laws of nature. In many times, the ordinary people did not receive enough moral and intelligence education, and they lack enough reliable information to get the right consensus. For example, the attempt to establish commune has not succeeded yet. The Utopian socialist, such Owen, tried to found commune to alleviate sorrow of workers. Although the willing is out of human’s interest, the Utopian violates the laws of natural, the law of productivity. Besides, the consensus of Utopian was so superficial that it can’t encounter impact from outsider. And fascist mislead common people to reach the consensus they wanted. However, this kind of consensus won’t last long, as people will soon realize the real situation. Only the consensus is out of moral can it last long.
In sum, politics can’t satisfy the desire of all people. It only can reach the reasonable consensus. That’s why well-established country has sound law system to sustain the function of both individual and whole society. And any government should pay high attention to search for the reasonable consensus as it plays a pivotal role on the development of society. |
