Issue41 "Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science." Outline: 1. Such nonmainstream areas play a certain role in society, because they meet somebody's curiosity and interest. 2. However, those areas are commonly harmful to social progress. 2. In addition, those interest and curiosity are faddish, which can not play a pivot role in social development. The speaker asserts that nonmainstream areas play a vital role in society. In my point, things can not be so simple, the pivot status of society has commonly focus on mainstream science. pivot status 什么意思， 是关键的状态还是关键的现状？ 讨论一下 Admittedly, astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits meet somebody's curiosity and interest, especially in far ancient times. During that age, many of mysteries could not be explained by science which, had not well developed and therefore, people tend to decipher the unknowing facts by unnatural things. It is the reason why myths are flourishing in that time, not exist or only develop on the basis of early works in civilized days. Original tribe is a current example, in certain areas of Africa, aboriginal living a forest and jungle life, honor some auspice like animals or natural phenomenon, which plays an unsubstituted role from generation to generation. In civilized society, those nonmainstream areas arrest less attention of studiers, still meets someone's spiratual needs. Because human has just investigated less part of nature, many of phenomenon are unable to explicate using current scientific and technological means and theories. Populace is apt to release stress and address problem by pursuit seemly regulated areas like forerunners. 人民通过探索看似有理的领域释放压力和解决问题 这是作者的观点还是资料里的？？Astrology and fortune-telling always use to foretell the career, lover, and fortune, attract majority people's curiosity about the unknowing world. However,这两段有正反转折关系吗？ those areas are commonly harmful to social progress. Superficially, they satisfying the human psychic needs, nevertheless, we could not ignore the harms to public life. Back to the hundreds and thousands years ago, many scientists were devoted to seeking truth. Nicolaus Copernicus, the Poland astronomer built the 'Heliocentric Theory' and overthrew the 'Earth-centric' theory which dominated western world for more than thousand years, eventually have not obtained deserved affirmation during his life time. In middle ages of western, religion over intervene on science, conducted many tragedies at that time.Galileo Galileiis an other case to exhibit, in order to attest the heliocentric theory, he cost all his life time and incurred religion's persecution, committed imprisoned for life at the end. Somebody will argue that are old events having no representative in current society. Whereas, I should stress on another facet that several evil religions commit a crime make use of benignity of merciful people and disabled the mind and body of them which largely disturb the order of society and family. 宗教认为世界是上帝创造的，而日心说违反了圣经，所以受到宗教权威的抵制和迫害，着和当时的科技水平有关， 不能全怪宗教． 遇到不熟悉的领域不要说太多，以免被考官抓住把柄 Furthermore, human's interest and curiosity are faddish, minority ones would entangle into those nonmainstream areas. How should we treat those unscientific fields with a proper attitude? Again comes to their identity, who advocate forecast and do not consider about the genuine fact, people who are prone to believe circumscribe the not well-educated group. Howbeit, in progressive society, science and technology are more and more advanced, ignorant one are become less and less. Human has couples of means to release stress and gradually realized love and fortune are followed only by sedulous study and endeavor. On the other side, we should respect individual's faith as devoir their selfhood as long as those behavior do not undermine the stabilization and development of society. In sum, although those nonmainstream areas have a certain function in special times and places, they destroy social harmony and hamper the scientific advancement under different degrees. Certainly, we should respect minority group's faith as well as control their unscrupulous spread |
