221. The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history.
Over the course of human's history, I concede that the basic human nature maintains similarity with what it was in ancient. However, no one denies that the society is developing and we are changing every moment. In my opinion, the chief benefit of the study of history is to inform the whole human of the homogeneity as well as heterogeneity through the gradually advancing and various times.
Admittedly, the human nature hasn't changed a lot though the time lapses. For individuals, we love peace and pursue the kindness, truth and beauty. On the other hand, we hate wars and suffer from the fears and foibles. For societies, with retrospect into the history, each empires or nations are impossible to escape from the fate about the budding, prosperity and collapsing ultimately. Additionally, every period is inevitably frustrated with wars and crimes. It illustrates that negative human natures are here to stay, such as greedy, ambition, violence, dishonest, to name a few. Confronting with these homogeneities, we have a clear understanding about ourselves and attempt to stabilize our ideal as well as overcome the foibles in our nature.
Nevertheless, if we were same, in fact, as our ancestors in all aspects as the statement mentions, why we regard our life and notion are more advanced than that in ancient? Actually, we do experience a gradual evolution in many facets. For individuals, people take advantage of many innovations and inventions with the rapid development of science and technology. As well, influenced by the development, their life style are so modernized that they get rid of the bondage of the nature to some degree. For the social group, such as the academic field, the truth of the nature are unveiled stride by stride so that we become more wise and rational to treat the natural phenomenon than the ancestors, who ascribed these common circumstance to the behavior of the God. For the whole world, notwithstanding the wars are still breaking up as a nightmare to kill the people's life, nowadays, it appears a declining tendency and more and more nations and individuals have reached on agreement that the peace and development are the primary topic. The nations or ethnics, which are bogged down in the conflicts and collisions are encouraged to deal with problems through peaceful channels, such as negotiations and compromises. On balance, the human today are no longer exactly same as the primitive.
Further, to learn about history isn't only tantamount to break the illusion of the homogeneity. As Bacon, a famous British philosopher, once said, "History makes men wise." Studying the refulgent culture about the nations in history, the patriotism is enhanced so that citizens are proud of their nations and are willing to contribute themselves in the career of developing their great nations. Studying the faults which resulted in serious catastrophes in history, we warn our daily behaviors and minds and prevent the recurrence of these faults. Studying the merits and virtues of the great in history, we are stimulated to perfect ourselves and encouraged to realize our dreams.
To sum up, history is like a mirror. Looking in the mirror, we see the foibles in the human nature so that we are able to erase it. Looking in the mirror, we also know the distinguished changes as time goes by. Thanks to these homogeneities and heterogeneities, they give us the confidence and courage, which propel us to nerve ourselves to advance.
改好了。:)在说明自己的想法之前,首先要感谢nickaaronlee 和九月gg(不好意思啊,我一直默认是女生爱打乒乓,没有看符号),还有亲爱的pher。:)
1。开头,我把最后一句话按照pher的意见改写了。感觉这样是不错。
2。第二段基本没改动。
3。第三段自己后来看也觉得乱了,特别是spiritual的部分。但是pher给的三个领域我觉得并不是完全并列的三个领域,而且这样一动就要大改了。我懒。。。。所以把原先那一句art的话去掉。按照个人--》社会团体--》全世界 组成递进关系来支持ts.
关于九月对于这段的疑问,我改的时候想了想。我这段是针对“人类有改变是个illusion”来反驳的。因为题目是个that的重句。所以这个引号句子里的关系从ets说吃成立的。我不同意,事实并不是这样的。所以写了第二段。
4。第三段,九月啊。我实在不知从哪里切入来加例子进去。感觉插在里面把格式破坏了。而且一句陈述加个例子在这里显的不舒服。另外这篇文章字数我看了一下,在550左右。正常考试的时候,我觉得这个长度挺好的。今天我又好罗嗦的写了篇700+还超了时间。。正常考试我觉得字数少于600比较合适,对于我来说。
5结尾重新写了一把, 因为感觉原来的结尾太平了。不过新写的也不是特别满意。。想不出来了。
