TOPIC: ISSUE2 - "Competition is ultimately more beneficial than detrimental to society."
WORDS: 588 TIME: 00:45:00 DATE: 2007-11-16 22:13:44
The word "compete" coming from the Latin words meant " to seek together" or "to come together". Competition broadly defined as the relationship of different people chasing the same goal, has a long history. Ever since two cavemen first hunt a same rabbit for his own need, competition has been established. For thousands of years, the competition relationship allowed people to perform better, and then better individual perform improved society to develop faster, consequently, impelled the wheel of the history of human being. The Industrial Revolution introduced and spread technologies that speed many tasks可以换一种表达. The competition becomes more and more intense which allowed makes our material life more convince ?but spiritual life have been overlooked or chosen to ignore.
Individual, as the cell of a society, could make better by competition. Society is composed by groups of people, therefore how developed and modernized of 可以去掉a society is absolutely determined by the quality of such groups of men. From the thermo? of Darwin's " The Origin of Survival物种起源可不是这么说", we learn that every stride of a society is derived from individual competition which winner survive and loser die. Because of competition, now we are去掉 looked and behaved significant different名次形式 from gorilla or monkey. Since anyone, defined as our competitor, must have some virtues or characters we defected煞意思. Competition acting in this way is likely to more conducive to self-correct and self-improvement. Therefore, the competition is not simply to win, but to learn and to grow.
Society, as the environment we lived in, could be boosted by competition. The benefits of competetion from acient to current time make us change from stone plow to iron ultimately to machine. That means easier farming, more food, longer life, and more free time that we use to pursue other things such as art. All of these should be due to 不是动词the improvement of a society work efficient, subsequently, the improved social efficient adj make better society. Alternatively, art is also boomed by the competition. From ancient Greek to advantage grade in America, every heyday of art must be along with differential错了 art party. Greek civilization was boomed by Socrates, Demokritos and Heraclitus, running to 15 century, after 300 dark years reigned by the Curia Roamna, Renaissancewas boomed by Da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangeloand others, going to recent days, there are so many different arts thus we called civilization variety. We should thanks competition to produce so many spiritual fortunes for us.
Yet, competition can also undermine our happy life and even our satiable society. Ever Since the establishment of competition, any normal person in this relationship was eager to be the winner especially when it knit to self-esteem or some upper background. People fight as a wild animal. And some people use any measure no matter legal or not, in order to get ride of the dilemma. Ultimately, a order society will be destroyed. Mean while the people who cannot acquire happiness unless they have the best of everything. They will always wonder " Is my best enough?”. Thus they work exhausted 应当用副词 to perform perfectly in their co-operations and schools; chase best cloth and fanciest cars; must win every game they play. Finally, they act likely in a morbid way.
While I am with Aristotle, who exhorted us to seek the " Golden Rules", I do believe we need to look for a bit balance between competition and life. Although everything has cons and pons, competition has been acting its own best for individual improvement and society development. Now, using competition wisely, more convince动词怎么会有比较级? world we will obtain.
文中没有任何地方明确表示是同意"弊大于利"还是"利大于弊".
第一段结束时,提出竞争忽略了精神世界的东西,但是作者在第三段用大量篇幅证明了竞争对艺术的贡献,艺术就是精神世界的非物质财富。这样一来,有些矛盾啊。
