主要围绕政治:美国总统的交替 hoover--Franklin D. Roosevelt
Nowadays, leaders in any profession--business, politics, education, government play a critical role in enterprise development, social stability and prosperity, and high quality level of education. In my view, however, it is not necessarily the case that those in politics and government should step down after five years for the surest success by revitalization through new leadership.
The sharp contrast between the social and economic circumstances after the transition from the Hoover administration to the Roosevelt administration illustrates my first point of view that revitalization through new leadership is crucial and urgent for the social stability and prosperity. The U.S. economy appeared to be robust during the beginning of Hoover's presidency, but a rising stock market had been built on stock purchases financed by widespread borrowing. When the stock market finally crashed, individuals, banks, and other economic institutions were devastated. Hoover sought to inspire public confidence by meeting with business leaders and by proclaiming that the economic downturn would be brief. His prediction was wrong. The United States slid into the worst economic depression in its history. However, Hoover resisted massive federal intervention because he believed that the economy would correct itself. He did approve some federal public works projects that provided jobs, but he opposed federal aid to the unemployed. In his view private charity should help those who had fallen on hard times. Obviously, his second campaign for presidency attracted little enthusiasm. On the other hand, the Democratic Party nominee, Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, mounted a vigorous campaign against Hoover's economic policies, calling for a "new deal" for U.S. citizens. Roosevelt promised to balance the budget, provide relief to the unemployed, help the farmer, and repeal Prohibition.
My second point of view is that, under some social and economic context, it is better for the leader to remain in power than to be revitalized or superseded by the new. Take Franklin D. Roosevelt for example. Although he won the election by his new proposals and policies as stated above, he indeed accomplished many things throughout his life. Being elected an amazing four times for President of the United States of America from 1933 to 1945 with a very large margin of victory each time. He helped the United States recover from the Great Depression and fight in World War II. Had he stepped down after two terms, he would not have led Americans to victory in World War II, and a lengthy run which led to the passage of the 22nd Amendment restricting presidents to two terms not existed. On the other hand, if Wendell L. Willkie, president of the country's largest electric utility holding company and the Republic nominee for the 1940 presidential election, had won the election, it would have been unconstitutional for the federal government to enter the utility business, which, opposed to the New Deal, led to the monopoly and high electricity to the extreme poor Tennessee Valley. Thus, although the success of Roosevelt administration depends on strong leadership, the revitalization through new leadership to achieve the so-called surest success is biased and takes no account of the social and economic status quo.
In sum, leadership, new or established, has a great influence on the social stability and prosperity in terms of politics and government. I hold that the surest success is not just achieved by the revitalization through leadership, but more through contribution of these new or reigning leaders to the healthy development of society. |
