issue62, 这是我的第十篇了,我的理解是这个题目关键在于self-improvement 和intrinsically deficient的关系问题, 我认为self-improvement 可以克服intrinsically deficient,但不是根本目的,最根本的是为了适应社会的快速发展.不知道我的逻辑是否正确,所用的例子是否恰当.麻烦各位!
62”The widespread idea that people should make self-improvement a primary goal in their lives is problematic because it assumes that people are intrinsically deficient.”
In this conspicuous society filled with intense competition, self-improvement of modern people becomes increasingly important. While some people assert that the widespread idea that people should make
self-improvement a primary goal in their lives is problematic because it assumes that people are intrinsically deficient. When it comes to my opinion, first, it is undeniable that on one in the world is perfect but deficient, second, to keep self-improvement is more the requirement, or force, of the technological and social advancement than the demand of the deficient of people.
First of all, it is a common sense that there is nothing and nobody perfect, and the perfection is always a supreme, but unavailable aim human beings have been pursuing for. A popular example is that there is no sunshine so warm and brilliant that we won’t yearn for a more florid one, and this assumption works well to a person that no one is so perfect that he or she won’t desire to be more healthy by doing exercises, more beautiful via keeping a reasonable diet, wiser through learning and richer by means of hard working, and so on. Accordingly, all people are intrinsically deficient and human beings have never ceasing the pursuing of perfection by endlessly improving themselves.
On the second place, only by unceasing self-improvement and making it a primary goal in people’s lives can human beings be able to overcome and conquer their defects to such a degree that they become relatively approximate to perfection. A striking example for this is that it is during the process of self-improving that human beings have wined a profound understanding of the universe. From the germinal view that the earth is in a fixed position at the center of the universe, which is completely wrong, to Copernicus’s theory that the earth evolves around the sun, to the corroborating observation of Galileo, and ultimately to Newton’s principles of gravity upon which all modern science depends, human beings have not only greatly enhanced themselves but also gradually rectified their deficient recognition of the universe.
Nevertheless, it is more the requirement of the rapidly developing and increasingly changing society rather than the simple supplement the drawbacks of people that people should make self-improvement a lifelong goal. First, unlike Aristotle who is believed to know everything there was to know at the time he lived, it is impossible for us to have command of all the voluminous amounts of information and knowledge of the present highly advanced society. Second, innumerous new knowledge is produced daily and the knowledge of human has been increasing at an unbelievable pace. Thus, every one should keep on lifelong learning to absorb new knowledge and technique in order to improve the job, to broaden and widen his or her ken, to keep up with the pace of the society and to avoid being left behind peers, and in short, to improve themselves to be able to adapt to the increasingly complicated society full of drastic competition.
In sum, although human beings are indeed instinctively deficient, the requirement of making self-improvement a primary goal in people’s lives due more to the increasingly complicated and conspicuous society rather than people’s instinct defects, which can be supplemented in the process of human individuals’ self-improvement. |
