Issue43 "To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards."
*********************************************************************************
翻译：
一个公仆如果想成为一位杰出的领导者就必须保持最高的伦理和道德标准。
*********************************************************************************
提纲：
Position：反对但有让步
A．必须承认，从理论上讲，保持起码的伦理和道德标准是有助于一个领导者进行有效的领导的。一方面，对于领导者自己来说，保持起码的伦理道德标准保证了ensure leadership. Philippine president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo(阿罗约)；另一方面从社会的角度看，领导者作为社会的model，guide 有责任保持高的伦理和道德标准，来引导教育民众，从而使社会更加和谐。
B．然而，在现实生活中，要求每一个领导者都保持最高的伦理道德标准是很苛刻的，毕竟人并不是生来完美的，我们应该允许犯错，但这个错误并不是在公共事业上的，而是自己的私事。实际上人们只是往往只是看重领导者的一方面public selves but not private selves（Martin Luther King& Adolph Hitler）nobody is utterly good or bad。
C．要成为一个有效的领导者，还需要其他的品质。（Bill Clinton）

正文：
Is it necessary for a public official to always maintain the highest ethical and moral standards for the purpose of being an effective leader? The speaker claims so. I am inclined to concur with the speaker in that the basic ethical and moral standards do play a significant role in the leadership. Nevertheless, I argue that a public official should not be required to strictly confine oneself within the sphere of morality insofar as a leader is also a common person who would consciously or unconsciously make some mistakes and insofar as there are also other important peculiarities for an effective leader. To further shore up my viewpoint, I would present my analysis in details as below.

To begin with, the highest ethical and moral standards do go a long way toward performing as an excellent leader. As for the leader oneself, maintaining highest ethical and moral standards would ensure one's leadership. After all, people would never want to see that their leader usually associates with illegitimate affairs, say, bribery, fraud, and which would at length pose threat to the leadership. Philippine President Gloria Arroyo, for instance, committed an electoral fraud in 2005, which was widely blamed by the general public. As the poll displays, more than half of the people in Philippines think that Arroyo is incumbent to resign. Whereas, when it comes to society as a whole, ethic and morality of a leader are also quite important because the leader does not only take the responsibility to regulate a society or a nation, but they are also widely considered to be a model or a guide of the public. From these we can see that to be an effective leader, especially a political leader, possessing an appropriate ethical and moral standard is instrumental for both their leadership and society.

However, it would be too critical to require every leader to have the highest ethic and morality. After all, nobody was born to be perfect. People should allow their leaders to have some faults as long as those faults are not relevant to the public affairs. To illustrate this point, we can take a look at Martin Luther King Jr.,who were famous for his struggling for the rights of the blacks in the United States, had been proved to live a tawdry life in his private time. However, until today no one would deny that owing to his endeavor, the black people in American gain the precious equality and freedom. In fact, when we evaluate a person, we all tend to judge him or her from only one or several leading aspects. The same is true with the leader. Hence, the leader, also as a common person, should be tolerated to do something wrong in his privacy.

Furthermore, to be an effective leader, many other characteristics are also needed such as courage, perseverance, intelligence, ideal, etc., which may serve to offset the deficiency of their ethic and morality. For example, Bill Clinton, though involved in the sexual affairs with Monica Lewinsky who was a White house intern, once again prompts the debates between leadership and morality. However, should people judge him as a devil merely because of that scandal? Absolutely not. In fact, Bill Clinton is considered to be an excellent president till now in that it is he who rescued the country from the depression of economy and also who lead their people as well as their nation to the prosperity of today. People would never forget his shrewdness, courage and also the outstanding leadership.

To sum up, as discussed above, we can confidently draw the conclusion that in most cases, public officials should keep the highest ethical and moral standards in order to ensure one’s leadership and also to serve as a good example in public. However, since a leader is also a man, flaws of who should, to certain extent, be forgiven.

To further shore up my viewpoint, I would present my analysis in details as below.【这句可以不要这样简洁些又节约时间】

To begin with, the highest ethical and moral standards do go a long way toward performing as an excellent leader. As for the leader oneself, maintaining highest ethical and moral standards would ensure one's leadership. After all, people would never want to see that their leader usually associates with illegitimate affairs, say【不明白耶】, bribery, fraud, and which would at length pose threat to the leadership.

To illustrate this point, we can take a look at Martin Luther King Jr.【用他的人就有点多哦，但是我看到的几乎是用在正面的，都是说他道德很高耶，不太了解此人，好像高中还学过，但是可能当时对他没好感，所以没啥印象了】,who were famous for his struggling for the rights of the blacks in the United States, had been proved to live a tawdry life in his private time.

小花文章写的很好，我只是提些意见：
开头i am inclined to.....后面直接摆明观点就好，nevertheless, i argue that后面尽量避免解释你论点的言语，换句话说，精简的开头能为你的正文主体节约不少时间
Arroyo的例子很好，上次好像看你在哪篇文章用过，当时没留心，这次我收藏了，呵呵
Martin Luther King 用在反面虽然失去了它的价值，但是就论述角度看有可取的一面
Bill Clinton的例子没有说到点子上，太多的筹码去强调他的丑闻使你对他优秀品质的论述缺乏力度（尽管后面有提到他在leadership方面的成功，但是说it is his courage...怎么样过于简单，需要展开一下）
总之，是一篇好文章，我至少打4.5，还有，我和你一样，也是现在没有写结尾的时间，我想，咱们是不是可以先把开头和结尾写了，在去补充中间的内容？象argument那样？尽量控制好中间论述的过程，精简例子，相信我们会成功的，呵呵！
