上次被pooh批改过,感触不少,这次从新拿出来让大家砸!!希望各位赐教!!
Issue77 People today are too individualistic. Instead of pursuing self-centered, separate goals, people need to understand that satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family, the community, or society as a whole.
Key word: individualist
这是俺从M-W上查到的关于individualist的解释
1 : one that pursues a markedly independent course in thought or action
追求在思想和行为上彻底独立的人。
2 : one that advocates or practices
支持者,实践者
思路:同意作者观点
Body1:承认并论述People today are too individualistic.指出其弊病。
Body2:论述people should be collectivistic
Body3:让步

Is there too much emphasis on the issue of individualism in our modern society? And does it benefit for the development of our society? From the pictures that there are increasing people who only pursue self-centered, separate goals and suffer the career utilitarianism and psychological imbalance, we can deduce that real satisfaction comes from working for a large group of persons, and serving for the collectivity.
People on the increase pay much attention to attain the interest for himself or herself due to the over emphasis on individualism. When we can understand the words from the adults, we are always instructed to be self-centered, to be individualistic. Our parents or the teachers who guide us that we must be individualistic have only one goal: let us be independent. However, the results of this too much emphasis on the creed do not meet the parents and teachers’ anticipation. There are more and more people only care about their own profits and neglect others' feelings. From children to senior persons, are all encouraged that they can do anything if they desire and satisfy. Therefore they lack the ability to take one thing with another when they are up against a complex situation which is related with others’ interests, in other words, they are inconsiderate. Nevertheless, in this era of customer oriented market and rapid social change, no matter in the international trade business or in a supermarket organizing, a person who can master the overall situation and can consider other persons’ requirements is needed. It is difficult for an executive who lacks consideration can successfully negotiate an exchange with the other side; and it is hard for a person who is only self-regard to manage customers’ demand well
The contradictory idea towards individualism is collectivism which accentuate that the interest of individuals is under the benefits of collectivity. If all people are willing to make contribution to the family, the community or the whole society, the development of our society will speed up, and the crimes and juvenile delinquencies would be reduced dramatically. Meanwhile, one who wants to donate and help others will receive others' respects. We do not have to look very far to see the validity from the famous scientist: Albert Einstein who is not only an outstanding scientist, but also a person full of humanism. His ardent humanism led him to strive for peace, freedom and social justice, and when he achieved great accomplishment, he helped Jews found the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and handed down his bequest of his literary estate and personal papers to the Hebrew University in his Last Will and Testament. Because all the contributions he made to our human being, he deserves the great honors which are endowed to him. The other vivid example is Martin Luther King, who contributed all his life to build up a just society and also received honorable laurel from the world people. Only when a person is willing to share joy and achievement with others and help others, he or she will realize that the real satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family, the community, and the whole society.
Admittedly, individualism indeed has its function to serve for the development of individuals' personalities and the independent spirit. However, we should make clear that collectivism does not mean inhibition of diverse characters of individuals. Collectivism is based upon the merits that every individual should cooperate and communicate with other members, and should contribute to the progress of the entity. To be collectivistic not only will benefit oneself, but also will help others. Therefore, that we accentuate the spirit of being more collectivism aims at establishing a more harmonious and more humanism society which may do good to all of us.
To sum up, if all people are willing to help others, cooperate with others and serve for a larger community, not only every individual will gain satisfaction from working for collectivity, but also our whole human being and the society will benefit from it. |
