Should all counties help support thedevelopment of a global university which is designed to engage students in theprocess to solving the most persistent social problems of the world, as thespeaker claims? I concede that many problems of our world need all nation'sattention and support. However, the speaker recommends us a means which is, insome sense, the extreme way for the present circumstances.

The persistent social problems need thesupport from all nation of the world in that there are so many difficulties to overcome that it is impossible forany individual country to solve. For instance, famine is the most persistentsocial problems in many parts of the world. In African, there are so manypeople who are struggling in the famine and poverty as to even the picturesshowing the child who cannot obtain enough food to eat are all over newspaperand magazines about the situation of African nowadays. Even the Northwest ofChina, many rural people, who are living by planting rice or corn every year,are under the circumstances which are threatening their standard of living.Needless to say, famine is actually a big but persistent social problems which areconfronted by human. Thus, we, all nations, should pay a great emphasis on themeasures and investment which are devoted to the famine problems. And, it isnot realistic for us to deal with such a world-wide crisis relying on thestudents of the global university.

On the other hand, the significant problemsfor every nation usually are different from one nation to another nation, butthey are indeed the most serious problems for some nations to deal with in thecontemporary period. For supporting examples, one need look no further than thepopulation issues for China.The number of population in Chinanowadays is over 1.3 billion which is a great part of the whole population inour world. However, the situation about population for many of the country in Europe, where there is a minus increase, is totally different. The problems which different countries are confronted with are sodifferent that it is impossible for the other countries to take adequatemeasures for the country which is bogged down in the serious issues. Therefore,the problems in real world are so complex and difficult for a strong country todeal with that the imaginative global university cannot work out the issues.

Another reason for my view is aboutdifference of history from one country to another country. Considerdiscrimination in the United  States for example. Due to the specialhistory of the United States,there are a great number of problems about discrimination between WhiteAmerican and Afro-American. However, the problems are not significantly evidentin most of the countries in modern society. Thus, the measures and the solutionto the issues must be taken by the Unites States rather than any othercountries which may help analyze the situationand the development of the problem and give certain advice to the UnitesStates. And, the most responsibility shouldonly be granted to the country which is suffering the problems. Therefore, itis not apt for students from an university to deal with.

To sum up, though the global university is,as the case may be, is a good way for the persistent problems which areconfusing human beings, yet the it is not realistic for students for theuniversity to deal with worldwide problems which are difficulty for most of thecountries in the modern world. And, the imaginative university is, in certain qualifiedsense, is the extreme solution to the persistent problems. On balance Idisagree the assertion of the speaker.


TOPIC: ARGUMENT59 - The following appearedin an article in the health section of a newspaper.

"According to the available medicalrecords, the six worst worldwide flu epidemics during the past 300 yearsoccurred in 1729, 1830, 1918, 1957, 1968, and 1977. These were all years withheavy sunspot activity-that is, years when the Earth received significantlymore solar energy than in normal years. People at particular risk for the flushould therefore avoid prolonged exposure to the Sun."

The arguer claims that people who are athigh risk for flu should avoid exposure tothe sum for a long time. To justify the conclusion the arguer presents someavailable medical records which show that the year of the six worst worldwideflu epidemics all coincide with the yearswith heavy sunspot activity. However, the assumption about the relation betweenthe sunspot and the flu epidemics is dubiouson some grounds, rendering it unpersuasive as it stands.(NND , 第一段总是错了很多词)

First of all, the arguer fails to providethe evidence that the medical records are reliable for us to rely on. Themedical records are available for the extant evidence for the assumption thatthe six worst worldwide flu epidemics are related to the sunspot. It isentirely likely that there are more flu epidemics in human history which occurred in the year without heavy sunspotactivity. And, the arguer does overlook that possibility that there are moreflu epidemics in human history which is not only in the concerned 300 years.Therefore, lacking the evidence that there are no other sunspot activities in past 300 years and there are moreflu epidemics in the former years when the sunspot activity occurred, we cannotaccept the reliability of the medicalrecords.

Next point, the arguer unfairly assumesthat the coincidence between the flu epidemics and the sunspot activity is correct. Itis very perhaps that the frequency of the sunspot activity is much more thanthe frequency of the flu epidemics during the past 300 years. Or perhaps, thereare more sunspot activities in the recent years which include the years whenthe six worst flu epidemics occur. Thus, ifthe arguer cannot supply evidence that the sunspot is the cause of the flu epidemics, it is impossible for us to accept thecausal relation between the sunspot and the flu epidemics.

Last but not least, the recommendation thatpeople at particular risk for the flu should avoid prolonged exposure the sunis unconvincing. Common sense and experience tell us that exposure and sportsin the open air are conducive to our health. It is not reasonable for thearguer to recommend without persuasive evidence that the energy from the sun isdoing harm to human health and can cause the flu, we are not able to takeadvice from the recommendation.

To sum up, the argument is indeed logicalunsound with the existing evidence and themedical record. To better assess the recommendation, I need to know that: (1)whether there are no other sunspot activities in past 300 years and there aremore flu epidemics in the former years when the sunspot activity occurred; (2)whether the sunspot is the cause of the flu epidemics;(3)whether the energy from the sun is not conducive to human health and cancause the flu epidemics in human beings.

其他没的挑啦 对文章内容提点意见哈
我觉得可以写点环境污染问题进去，然后各个国家的污染源不同，解决方法就会不同。毕竟这是个很大的世界性难题。呵呵，然后题目是the world's most persistent social problems 所以我认为要围绕这个写，你文章“Considerdiscrimination in the United  States for example. Due to the specialhistory of the United States,there are a great number of problems about discrimination between WhiteAmerican and Afro-American. However, the problems are not significantly evidentin most of the countries in modern society.”美国的种族歧视如果是某个国家的特殊问题，那就不是世界性问题吧，文章是要解决世界最紧迫的问题而办学校。 可以加入其他国家的歧视比如日本的女性歧视问题。再进行比较

对啊。很好的建议诶。 谢谢啦。

我觉得这个问题还不是较难写的。题目明显有点BT 或 疯癫的倾向。
