Some people believe that in order to thrive, a society must put its own overall success before the well-being of its individual citizens. Others believe that the well-being of a society can only be measured by the general welfare of all its people.

Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.


将overall success定义为economic development，论述overall和individual两者之间的关系。1，总结出overall success 跟general welfare是统一的，跟specific group of citizens是不统一的，某些政策的提出与一部分人的利益相搏，但通过整体计算，general welfare可以保证；2，举例三峡工程Three Gorges Project使得大批库区居民家园被毁坏，牺牲了一部分的利益，但换来了经济利益和长远的整体的成果；3，举例计划生育政策one-child policy限制了人生育的权利，但政策的目的是为了保证国家经济的阶段性发展。（类似的例子还有international trade/free trade与trade protection之间的矛盾；数码化、机器人使一部分人失业但很大程度上提高了整个社会的运作效率）

TS1: I believe that a society should focus on its overall success which is often measured in long term rather than the well-being of the individual citizens which is often short-term in nature.  I would illustrate my position with examples about family planning, transportation infrastructure and sustainable development.  

ts1 : the one child policy in China hurt certain families such as those who lost their only children and those who are forced to abort their babies but may be justified considering the long-term development of the national economy
- the suffering of the parents who lost their only children
- the suffering of the women who are forced to abort their babies
- the importance of one child policy for population control and the improvement of population quality

ts2 :  the development of  transportation infrastructure in cities often means the worsening of the traffic jam and the inflation in the short term but upgrading of the economy that is beneficial for the long term  
- the building the subway usually means less road available for the traffic for a few years
- the large construction projects may also lead to labor shortage and inflation
- but the transportation infrastructure upgrades could lead to long-term economic growth as the cities can increase its overall productivity and attract more investment

ts3:  The idea of sustainable development further illustrates why society should focus on its long-term overall success.
- the idea of sustainable development: the development of the current generations should not compromise the opportunities of development of future generations
- environmental protection
- the replacement of fossil fuel with renewable energy sources
- to practice such principles may lead to the decline of certain industries and unemployment for many
- but it is essential for the overall success in the long term
