Are high-profile awards damaging to society? The speaker claims so, as he implies that such awards recognize only a few people, which is somewhat unfair and might have negative influence to society. I do not agree with the speaker, in that the benefits provided by such high-profile awards outweigh the harmful effects they may have.
First of all, the reputation and fortune accompanied with such high-profile awards will improve the prizewinners' working conditions, which in turn encourages them to work harder. On the one hand, a large amount of premium of such high-profile awards will offer a more comfortable life for the winners, as well as enable them to purchase something essential for their work. In addition, the reputation they win will make them feel that all their endeavor and devotion isare worthy. In this way, scientists and writers are paid both mentally and materially. On the other hand, in order not to abuse the given honor and to win more, the prizewinners might feel hard-pressed to step out further in his career and to contribute more to society, such feelings will drive them work more passionately. In effect, this is a win-win business, in which the prizewinners benefit from the rewards supported by society and society also benefit from their further contributions.最后一层分析很精彩,examples?
Secondly, the attracting benefits and limited opportunities of such awards often inspire people to pursue their careers or interests more industriously, which is good to the development of society. Understanding that only excellent individuals can gain the opportunities, people will try their best to lift their ability and talent so as to meet the high standards of the award they wish to win. While to overcome all the competitors requires one's extraordinary endeavor and strive. This process will make a person tenant and a society full of such people will become consistent and strong. What is more, as human nature inclines to treasure the rare things while take as granted the common ones, it is the very limited number of prizewinners that represents the high value of the prizes and therefore stimulates people to compete, to win. 全段论述,一方面考场可能时间不够,而且不生动
Thirdly, many international awards stimulates governments and enterprises to invest in corresponding areas. Take the Nobel Prize for example. The Nobel Prize, awarded every year, gives its highest reputation not only to the outstanding individuals who have made great achievement in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and world peace, but also to the winners' countries. Because the prize means an international recognition of the country's academic levels in these realms as well as its contribution to the peace of the world. Also every country is proud of its scientists and writers who have won the Nobel Prize. Therefore governments, together with enterprisers are more willing to support scientific research, promote literature careers, and finance charity affairs, in order to win their nation honors. Indisputably, this will benefit a lot to the development of science and culture, as well as solve some pressing social problems, such as poverty.
Admittedly, if the prizewinner becomes so proud of his achievement that he neglects others' advice and discontinue hard work after receiving the prize, he will probably stop there and make no more progress. Or if many people treat winning prize as the only objective in life without taking their abilities into account, or they become so obsessed with fame and fortune thatthey try every means to gain them, even sacrifice-ing the interests of others. In such cases the awards serve more a negative function than a positive one.
In conclusion, as long as people regard the awards as a motive and impetus to work hard and passionately, such high-profile awards actually benefit the society largely, rather than undermine it.
