issue 处女篇 附题目和提纲 谢谢各位大虾拍砖
题目
Government must ensure that their major cities receive the financial support they need in order to thrive, because it is primarily in the cities that a nation's cultural tranditions are preserved and generated.
提纲:(基本全部反对)
传统文化并非主要在城市发展,支持城市往往破坏传统文化
支持文化发展并非政府的必要职责
政府的资助往往低效率
The author claims that governments must fund the major cities’ development, because the culture of a nation is primarily preserved there. I strongly disagree with this view, which is typically threefold: The culture is preserved and thrives in major cities; the governments should provide financial aid to backup the development of culture, and the official support does ensure the development efficaciously.
First of all, the hypothesis that the national culture is primarily preserved in major cities is intrinsically flawed, and the author gives no persuasive evidence to support this assumption, instead, the culture of a nation, such as fiestas, traditions and so on, maybe thrives in the rural districts rather than in urban ones. Globalization has made the cosmopolites across the world homogenized, and the culture of a nation is being superseded by a hodgepodge of so called international culture. Further more, the impact of urbanization is destroying the cradle of true national culture; in this situation, the exertion to preserve the national culture by funding the cosmopolites seems on a slippery slope, and even a backfire.
Secondly, by all means, funding the development of culture is not an obligation of governments, which should dedicate more effort to address the impending problems, such as property, violence, etc. When there are still individuals in our society suffering from these, using public resources to patronage culture is unjustified and even cruel. The further problems exist that it is hard to discriminate what is the culture characterizing the nation, so the preservation can not be easily done. The aid may be distributed only according to the preference of officials of little sensitiveness and insight in the field of culture and art.
Thirdly, admittedly funding the culture is an appropriate function of governments; however it does not necessarily mean that the policy will work efficiently. The lack of private support may justify the aid from government; nevertheless, considering the culture of our society is getting prosperous on the patronage from private philanthropists, the fanatical support from governments seems otiose. Furthermore, the support for the major cities does not necessarily foster the culture, the fund invested in cities may be abused in rampant urbanization, which can be counterproductive for the preservation and strive of national culture. Nurturing the culture is a systematic and complicated goal which will not be achieved by mere financial aid. Only by the collaboration from the public and government, especially the higher emphasis put on the preservation in our mind, can a national culture strive in the country.
All in all, on the close examination, the claim that the financial support from government will be conductive to the development of a national culture is untenable. For it mistakes cosmopolites as cradle of a national culture, and taking culture protect as a duty of governments inappropriately, and the author simplistically regards funding the major cities is a pivotal action in the contrive of preserving national culture, which in fact can not contribute to the preservation without cultural sensitiveness and insight.
