ISSUE 136--"The absence of choice is a circumstance that is very, very rare."
[Outline]:平衡观点
1.在专治国家，选择是很少的
2.在民主国家，选择是普遍存在的
3.即使有些人抱怨他们没有选择，选择也是存在的

According to our daily experience, we confront choices every day from the smallest bits such as making a choice on what to eat for a meal, what to wear to much more important like deciding on which career to occupy. Whereas people living in centralized countries may encounter many mandatory orders or restrained to laws which endow them feel no choice, I contend that as long as the society that we live in is democratic, actually the circumstance of no choice is rare.
In the first place, I concede that in a certain centralized countries like Germany ruled by Hitler, Soviet Union, and racial discrimination countries, common people sometimes are forced to act out the will of the rulers. The rulers or tyrants are pone to make his or her will to act as a standard of the whole society through the means of laws and other regulations. Though the forms of court, military, and legislations seem to exist in those centralized countries, they are only at the service of the rulers or tyrants to limit the latitude of populace. Maybe the most obvious example that could help us understand the hardship of those who living under such circumstance is the Germany during the period ruled by Hitler. At that time Jewish people were decimated, in another word, if they went on stay within the boundary of Germany, their fate is to be killed and be deprived of the privilege to live--not to mention the right for choice. Another good example is the society of America before the emancipation of black people. From the day of they were born, they were sentenced to be subordinate to the white with no other choice. I just exemplify two instants to indicate that in such countries which have no democracy, peoples’ choices are few and constrained, so they may now and then face no choice.
However, when it comes to democratic countries, the mass could enjoy their privileges entitled by constitutions and laws, among which are the very rights of free religion, speech, exercise, assembly and petition, legislated and ensured by the Amendment--which makes the absence of choices very rare. People are facing choices everyday and they decide their lives up to themselves: practitioners start their new business and choose a partner; customers have to decide which goods they will buy and which service they'll accept; students can study what they are interested in.(Even though, we still are able to hear someone complaint that they have no choice but to do something. Is that the case that they really have no way out? After further examination one could understand that even who claim they have no chice still have chices.加上这个)
(Further, even those who complain that life’s circumstances leave them with no ‘choice’ still have choices. The fundamental problem with these sorts of claims is based on the case that people feel no other choice is the fact that they are in front of several options but there might be only one that will benefit them most or that feasible.这个不要了) One case is that,consider, a student may say he or she has no choice but to work hard for the approaching exams. Nevertheless, the fact is that to prepare and be diligent is the best way out and will benefit him or her most; otherwise, ignoring the advent exam will make him or her feel regretful after the unsatisfying result comes out. In this case, he or she does make choices, and there are at least two, to study or give up study, but there may be only a beneficial and feasible one. For another instance, an electorate could find it hard to make a choice when all the candidates are not satisfying, that is there is no such one that could completely represent his or her will. If he insist on his right to vote, the only way out is to vote for a candidate whose plan and action seem better than others. After all, he or she makes a decision among several choices though there is no best choice but a better one. Therefore, after the analysis, it is quite clear that even when people allege they have no choice there do are some choices in a democratic country.
    To sum up, it is true that in some extreme cases like centralized countries, people lapse into no choice but to be obedient. However, in a country of democracy, most often choices are available in front of us. Though when confronting few cases people have a feeling of no choice, the reality is they've already made a decision.

[Outline]:平衡观点
1.在专治国家，选择是很少的
2.在民主国家，选择是普遍存在的
3.即使有些人抱怨他们没有选择，选择也是存在的

从1，2点社会的角度一下子到第3点，给人比较突兀的感觉，看提纲还不太明显，看文章的时候觉得前两点拔的很高气势也足，第3点一下子掉下来了一样，一家之言，呵呵。

平衡观点
1.在专治国家，选择是很少的
2.在民主国家，选择是普遍存在的
3.即使有些人抱怨他们没有选择，选择也是存在的(最后一个观点和前边的相比,逻辑上不顺承)

According to our daily experience, we confront choices every day from the smallest bits such as making a choice on what to eat for a meal, what to wear to much more important like deciding on which career to occupy. Whereas people living in centralized countries may encounter many mandatory orders or restrained to laws which endow them feel no choice, I contend that as long as the society that we live in is democratic, actually the circumstance of no choice is rare.(开头不是很清楚,这个题目从这个角度来写平衡观点还是比较难的,可以就说有没有自己需要看不同的社会制度)
In the first place, I concede that in a certain centralized countries like Germany ruled by Hitler, Soviet Union, and racial discrimination countries, common people sometimes are forced to act out the will of the rulers.

由于我回学校，还没写这篇文章。但是我总觉得把选择只限于两种制度，是不是有点太窄了，选择似乎还有更多的发面可以写。
