130 How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society. 现在孩子的社会化程度决定了社会的命运。可惜的是,我们还没有学会教孩子怎么样去建设一个更好的社会。
【180】Many problems of modern society cannot be solved by laws and the legal system because moral behavior cannot be legislated. 现代社会的很多问题是法律和立法系统无法解决的,因为道德行为是无法用法律约束的。道德和法律

158The Trash-Site Safety Council has recently conducted a statewide study of possible harmful effects of garbage sites on the health of people living near the sites. A total of five sites and 300 people were examined. The study revealed, on average, only a small statistical correlation between the proximity of homes to garbage sites and the incidence of unexplained rashes among people living in these homes. Furthermore, although it is true that people living near the largest trash sites had a slightly higher incidence of the rashes, there was otherwise no correlation between the size of the garbage sites and people's health. Therefore, the council is pleased to announce that the current system of garbage sites does not pose a significant health hazard. We see no need to restrict the size of such sites in our state or to place any restrictions on the number of homes built near the sites.

In this age of intensive media coverage, it is no longer possible for a society to regard any woman or man as a hero. The reputation of anyone who is subjected to media scrutiny will eventually be diminished.
在今天这个媒体铺天盖地的社会中,人们已经很难把任何人当作英雄了。任何人只要是沦为媒体的话题,那么他注定会名声扫地。

140The following appeared in a report of theCommittee on Faculty Promotions and Salaries at Elm City University.
"During her seventeen years as a professor of botany, Professor Thomas hasproved herself to be well worth her annual salary of $50,000. Her classes areamong the largest at the university, demonstrating her popularity amongstudents. Moreover, the money she has brought to the university in researchgrants has exceeded her salary in each of the last two years. Therefore, inconsideration of Professor Thomas' demonstrated teaching and researchabilities, we recommend that she receive a $10,000 raise and a promotion toDepartment Chairperson; without such a raise and promotion, we fear thatProfessor Thomas will leave Elm City Universityfor another college."

"An innovative treatment has come to our attention that promises to
significantly reduce absenteeism in our schools and workplaces. A study
reports that in nearby East Meria, where fish consumption is very high,
people visit the doctor only once or twice per year for the treatment of
colds. Clearly, eating a substantial amount of fish can prevent colds.
Since colds are the reason most frequently given for absences from school
and work, we recommend the daily use of Ichthaid, a nutritional supplement
derived from fish oil, as a good way to prevent colds and lower
absenteeism."

23A recent sales study indicated that consumption of seafood dishes in Bay City restaurants has increased by 30 percent over the past five years. Yet there are no currently operating city restaurants that specialize in seafood. Moreover, the majority of families in Bay City are two-income families, and a nationwide study has shown that such families eat significantly fewer home-cooked meals than they did a decade ago but at the same time express more concern about eating healthily. Therefore, a new Bay City restaurant specializing in seafood will be quite popular and profitable.
