11. "All nations should help support the development of a global university designed to engage students in the process of solving the world's most persistent social problems."

所有的国家应共同支持建立一所全球性大学，让学生们参与到解决世界上最持久、难以解决的社会问题的过程中。

立场：不同意。有难度，而且不一定就能解决问题。
１．众口难调——建立一所这样的大学难以满足世界各国不同的需要。同时还有文化背景，国家利益，经济状况等很多的不同。
２．那些问题不是建立一所这样的大学就可以解决的。姑且分为两大类：一类是由于世界各国和种族在利益划分上的分歧出现的；另一类是全人类在面对自然界是出现的。即一种是人类内部的矛盾，另一类是人类和外部的问题。后者或许可以解决，前者则很难。
３．但是，这种通过国际合作来解决问题的思路是正确的。

Does it necessary to build a global university to engage students in the process of solving the world’s most persistence social problems, as the author claims? In my point of view, there are many different in design such a university, and the usage of such a university is indefinite, which leads it impossible as well as unnecessary to do so.

To begin with, many factors such as the difference of race, belief, and economical conditions of different countries, and so on, should be included in considering the design of the global university. It is definite that students from different countries have various believes in the interests distribution and religion, and many social problems themselves are caused by such divarication. For example, the cause of long-time confliction between Palestine and Israel is not only the pursuing of national independence and territory division, but also far-reaching historical origin. The international terrorism is also a case in point. To ask such students coexistent pacifically is not easy, not to mention their cooperation. In addition, the various locations and different economic strength is also obstacle in developing the global university. Some developing countries themselves are depending on the economic aid from those developed ones, it is too much for them to support the building of the global university. And what is more, the level of fundamental education in such countries will lag behind the developed countries in some degree, which is also unfavorable to the following education in the global university, if it is really built. So, without well dealing with those prerequisites, the global university cannot be developed smoothly.

Furthermore, the complexity of those most persistent social problems weakens the possible effect of the global university. In my view, those problems can be divided into two categories----one is inside human being, that is the diverging in interest dividing among countries and races; another is between human and natural and external environment, which is the conflict between human’s actions and nature’s reaction. As for the first type, including race conflict, war, terrorism, and so on, is originated from the unfair resources distribution and people’s differential acknowledge towards human being and social system, which cannot be settled in the present stage of human development. Even if there is a global university devoted to them, deficiency of physical resources and its consequential insufficiency of spirits civilization will hamper the solving of such problems. Whereas, for the second type, people will work as a whole, which can conquer some defects of the human nature, toward the nature, even if there is no such a global university. For instance, in finding genetic origin of diseases, scientists from many countries actively participate in the Human Genome Project, and have finished such great work. People’s resistance towards Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003 is also a case in point. Hence, to build a global university may not be the best way to resolve such problems perplexing human being for a long time.

Admittedly, although it is not practicable to build such a global university in solving all the social problems, the spirits of cooperation is still valuable. Take the United Nations as an example, since 1945 when it came into being, it has established many subordinate organizations devoting to conquer problems in many aspects of society, such as economical development, international trade, scientific and technological progress, cultural spreading, international peace, progress of human rights, and so on. In fact, the cooperating spirits is really indispensable, and fortunately, people have built some practical institutions, which are devoting to settle down social problems and proven to be effective. Since it is so, the constructing of a global university is of no necessity.

In conclusion, to manage with the world's most persistent social problems, people need the cooperating spirits, but considering its feasibility and effect, it may be not the best choice to build such a global university.

附上我的另一个提纲，大家认为那一种更好些？

立场：不同意。
1．哪些是难以解决的问题？种族冲突，国家利益纠纷，环境问题，国际恐怖主义，等等。姑且分为两大类：一类是由于世界各国和种族在利益划分上的分歧出现的；另一类是全人类在面对自然界是出现的。即一种是人类内部的矛盾，另一类是人类和外部的问题。后者或许可以通过合作来解决，前者则很难。
2．第一类问题的根源在于贫富不均，即资源的分配不公。但是这种问题在物质资料还不够丰富的人类社会是无法避免的，所以即使建立了一所这样的大学也对于解决这类问题束手无策。至多就是能够使各种矛盾相对缓和。
3．第二类问题是在人类社会发展过程中出现的，和外界环境相冲突。当面对这种问题时，人类就成为一个整体，很多问题的解决相对显得简单一些。这时，这种全球合作的可能性就大得多了。
4．何况，建立一所全球化的大学有很多的困难，例如。。。。
5．所以，是一个很好的理想，但是有些不切实际。不过，这种合作的思想是应该倡导的。

一步步向目标前进中！
