Does questioning and criticizing addressed by education has little effect on enhancing social harmony? The speaker believes so, although I disagree. In my point of view, questioning and criticizing have more positive than negative effect on social harmony.
To begin with, questioning and criticizing equip students with the ability of critical thinking, with the help of which can students dive into the social problems and obtain a perceptive view of the society.[这里观点提得很好啊] Cognitively speaking, students always learn theories and rules in the books at the first step, and assimilate them by questioning and criticizing at the second step. Finally, they understand the problem thoroughly and accept or even improve it. [这么分步地写显得条理很清晰,学习ing] This rule applies well in social aspect, too. Having seen the existing social problems, it is understandable for a student to question and criticize on these issues and express his dissatisfactions. Nevertheless, the ability of questioning and criticizing will push him to find the hiding causes and possible solutions of these problems and therefore contribute to the social harmony. Unfortunately, the speaker failed to realize that. Without questioning and criticizing, a student would be dull, callous and indifferent. Although it might be safe to say that questioning and criticizing is a doubled-edged sward, its benefits surplus unfavorable consequences.
In addition, Education itself does not only require students to question and criticize. The purpose of education, as John Henry Newman said, is “training good members of society." That is to say, the ultimate goal for education is to pave the way students to get used to and contribute to the society, and questioning and criticizing is just one of the requirements to achieve that goal. Some other parts of education, for example, theories in the books provide student with the basic knowledge he needs in the society, and working practice helps him to master the skills in his future work, and even the part-time job that most American youngsters do from early age is an effective way to help young people know the society before their independent. Thus, education is a potent force in increasing social integrity.
Finally, we might also want to ask: what are the most important causes of social conflict? Is questioning and criticizing of students a significant cause of those conflicts? A careful examine [用名词examination吧] of history would reveal that the economic recession and religious resentment have caused the most social discord. Severe social turmoil always connected with economic recession. Before President Roosevelt was elected, the whole American economy plunged into the Big Depression during 1929-1933. At that time, the economic [economy] was at the edge of collapse, and the society was in a chaos state. In the [去掉] recent years, America [好像不经常看到用America, United States常用一些吧~] is facing an economic decline, although not so severe as before, the unemployment and income gap have already caused a lot of disputes. Besides economic factors, religious resentment has always been the core of ferment in the history. The endless hatred between Israel and Palestine is rooted in religious resentment. [这个例子举得好] Even within the immigrant countries like America and Canada, people of different religious groups regard each other as infidels and are hard to give and take. Having considered that, the problems caused by student's questioning and criticizing is overshadowed.这方面的观点我没想到啊~~
In conclusion, from what have been discussed, education is the reason why society is progressing, and questioning and criticizing is the driving force of innovation. Instead of replacing questioning and criticizing, people should make efforts on prospering the economy and tolerate different religious believes in order to achieve social harmony.
写得真好啊~~
词句,语言方面真是没得说,观点条理也清晰,想狠拍都狠不起来:L
不过感觉B2展开得不够充分,尤其是在讲教育的其他方面对于社会协调性的促进有点泛泛了
而且结尾段也将文章的总体归纳了出来,我的结尾就很草(不是想草,而是觉得很难做到升华主题:()
总之是太赞了,以后还看你的文章学习~:handshake
