issue3 rewrite
In today's society, though science and technology keep developing at a high speed and the overall standard of people's life gets better,many crucial problems still exist to be sloved .Some of these problems are concerned with matters that need immediate solution such as wars, poverty and crimes etc.,while some others involve the long-term or even potential issues which may bring troubles in the future.Both the two kinds are, indeed, of the same importance, which calls for our great effort to get them all resolved as efficiently and effectively as possible, however, when we are not able to satisfy both at one time for financial or some other reasons, focusing our attention to the immediate problems in piority might be a wise chiose.
It is critical to get the emergencies solved immediately,for their appearance may bring serious or even vital danger to the present society and the whole world. If they cannot be appropriatly handled as soon as possible, the situations will get worse quickly and dramatically, at the same time everyone's life and security will be badly threatened.Finally, it will turn out to be global tragedy which all of us do not wish to face. For example, when a vital illness that can quickly spread among people, such as SARS, is theatening the whole world, and hundreds of people get infected, even some of them lose their lives everyday, we should, without any hesitate, allocate as much money and efforts as possible to fight against the virus and try to save our fellows' lives, thus save the whole human kind. Such cases can also be seen when natural catastrophes, such as earthquake, flood etc. happen.
If the immediate existing problems cannot be handled in present, there is even no future for us to hand down to our descendants, so if we plan to solve the long-term and potential problems, the first thing that should be secure is that there is no unnoticed serious problem that make our lives and security endangered. At least it must be clear that these problems are known and are being solved and handled on the effective way. The relationship between the immediate and the long-term problems can be vividly illustrated by an analogy with acute and chronic diseases. The acute diseases,such as heart attack, come out with serious yet evident symptoms, which, if the patient does not receive proper medicaal treatment in time, he or she will even died, while in the chronic disease cases, such as hypertension, there may be no apparent evidence at all, and the patient may live for comparatively longer time without any abnormal feelings.
Admittedly, however, though the immediate problems have piority to the long-term problems, we should never stop trying our best to solve the latter ones. Moreover,if they could be found and even handled before their real appearance, the problems that will be faced in the future will be significantly reduced and make less damages than they are supposed te be, or even, in more ideal cases, future problems may be prevented from coming into being due the effort paid in advance. For instance, if we promote public special education program in which courses concerning with how to self-rescue during earthquake happens are offered to ordinary ones, then more people could benefit from the knowledge and methods they learn from the progam and may even survive from a really happened earthquake, so the number of people who lose their lives in the earthquake will be lowered, which is easier to tackle with compared with the cases when there is no such program.
In all, immediate problems should be solved first, while the long-term problems with potency should never be igored if there is possibility to get them solved in advance.
dunno if this editon can be better?
