97.It is unfortunate but true that political decisions and activities and affect all aspects of people's lives.
想请问一下political decisions and activities and affect all aspects of people's lives对不对！本人认为不对，我觉得政治生活不可能影响人们生活的每个方面！请问大家对此有什么看法？

96.Although, critics who write about the arts tend to deny the existence of any objective standards for evaluating works of arts, they have a responsibility to establish standards by which works of art can be judged.
请问评价艺术是有客观标准吗？我觉得艺术是创造性的东西没有客观标准！如果有标准，那么谁来制定这个标准合适啊？

第一个问题
political decisions and activities and affect all aspects of people's lives
道理是有一点的，但比较宽泛
主要是间接的影响，比如政治影响了经济，而经济于人民生活密切相关，于是产生了间接的影响。

人民生活包括很多方面啊！有些方面我觉得很政治决定一点关系都没有！这个topic可不可以从all的角度去攻击啊？不理解！

-------我觉得政治生活不可能影响人们生活的每个方面！

WHY? ^_^

just tell me why！focus your essay on this point！

题目的关键字是unfortunate, true, all
从all入手是个相当正点的想法

97.It is unfortunate but true that political decisions and activities and affect all aspects of people's lives.
我想人们的日常生活比如：吃饭，睡觉，学习很多时候都不可能因为什么政治决定或活动而改变，而且很多政治活动比如：开个什么小的会议也不会影响到普通人的对吗？
我也知道unfortunate 是个很好的切入点因为在民主是社会中一般的政治决定也是为了人民的，所以不所谓unfortunate 拉！
imong但我就不知道怎样从true去说了！我觉得好象就是重复前面两点的东西是不？

不是所有的political decisions 都是和民主有关的。西方普遍的观念是不信任政府，认为政府不是庞大臃肿不做好事，就是腐败、丑闻，短视。所以这里用unfortunate是很自然的。

你举的例子可以呀，不过也太琐碎了一点。你可以说，我读什么书，交什么朋友，到哪里出国旅游，这些都可以不受政治影响。

apolloxpUID: 156355

人类社会不能离开政治，从这个角度上来说人们的生活是受政治决定的影响的，只是受影响的程度不同罢了。
吃饭睡觉虽是人的本能，政治决定不能命令人们不吃饭，但可以决定人们是不是能吃好饭。

我感觉这篇文章从正反两方面都可以入手。本来就没有正确答案，自圆其说就可以了

我对issue97的观点是有保留的反对
1 political decision 确实对人民生活有着深远的影响
2 the author unfairly suggest that it is unfortunate.........
3 moreover,  political decision 也不可能影响到人民生活的每一方面。

其它两题我也是一头雾水，根本不知从何说起，期待高人解答！

突然想起来这道题我好像写过
而且当时我的论点和你的有点像

不过我自认为我的分析还能深入一步
去查查看吧？:D

关于第二个问题
我觉得艺术是仁者见仁智者见智的，不同的人对同样的艺术品会有不同的评价。
人们对艺术的评价也确实没有一个统一的标准，
不仅同时代的人之间没有相同的标准，而且不同时代的人也没有相同的标准。比如梵高的成就没被同时代的人承认，却被后人承认。
貌似马克思说过人的审美和所处社会有关之类的话。既不太清了。

第二题：批评家们的工作就是批评，如果不tend to deny the existence of any objective standards for evaluating works of arts就不是批评家。
这个标准的作用：
1.帮助人民理解艺术。我想很少的民众能知道梵高的画到底哪里那么值钱，如果不是批评家们我们就不会更加了解这些作品。
2.起到censorship的作用。比如前些天本山大哥的徒弟在央视的表演，批评家就可以拿来批评。比如法轮功是一定要批评的，是为了社会的稳定-----自己编！
3.起到促进艺术家水平的作用。
自己观点，大家也来发表！

libbyUID: 151455

批评家的作用是就只有批评吗？批评家是不是也应该帮助人们了解，认识艺术作品啊？那艺术如果没有标准，那我们又怎样来衡量一件艺术作品的价值？

97Position: Partially agree
1. political decisions and activities do cover people's lives.
    Regulations, laws and policies and so on all make up a framework of a society that define, confine, and entile every member of a society. People in business care about political decisions on economy , say, interest, that decides the cost of liablity and go on decides the profits; retired people concern with the welfare provided by government which determines their living condition of the rest life; Women pay attention to policis on gender equality; parents looks to the goverment asking for qualified education for their children; and nearly everyone stresses on economic policy in the further, such as employment policy which is closely related to majority people.

2. However, I do not agree that such wide politial influence on people's lives is a mishap ,because it helps to maintain a peaceful, orderly, relatively stable society. I will go on elusidate in business and social aspects below.

(1) In the business world, political policies and laws ensure a healthy and orderly market and facilitate economy .
     e.g. Enron,
     e.g.Antitrust sanction---Mircosoft
(2) As to some social problems, political activities do play an active role in researching and solving such problems.
     e.g. the gap between the rich and poor-----the U.S. goverment subsidizes them with old-age,, survivors, disability, hospital, and physicians medical welfare in the form of compansation, pension, insurance etc, which conduces to social harmony and further development.
     e.g. Children abused by parents could turn to the local goverment for help , another benefit people could enjoy from policial policy.

很不错的，谢谢分享！

97我的想法是从三个方面1) 政治怎么影响生活2) 是否影响生活的所有方面3)是否真的unfortunate

我觉得一般的issue只要理清了层次,抓住具体问题立论,会比较有内容
