第三小组 xxxxzoe 的第一次作业
(本人还很菜,请各位多多指教)Issue 120 so much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present.

outline:
1.past可以帮助初学者建立系统框架,巩固对学科的理解
2.我们可以从past中获取经验,或提取出新的东西,或防微杜渐
3.历史仍遗留给我们许多问题,尚待解决


The speaker asserts that so much is new and complex in today’s society that history provides little to us now. I acknowledge that there is a world of difference between the past days and today, however, the past is still relevant to today’s life. The history affects us a lot.

In the first place, to a great extent that history can help beginner discern our major more clearly. It is apparent that every discipline has its own history that introduce its own development and the famous stars in this field as well as their works. For this reason, it helps beginner form a fundamental cognition of that discipline, especially the one who is studying aesthetics. People who majors in this discipline need to learn the developmental history of aesthetics at the very beginning in order to get an initial cognition. Furthermore, to obtain the spirits and techniques, students have to learn the works of their virtuosi who might die a hundred years ago.  

Moreover, history is meaningful to people that they can learn much experiences from the history no matter whether these experiences are successful or failed, and base on that further winkle out new ideas and methods. Such as Shiffman model in rheology, which combined Maxwell model and Kelvin model, is a good example of that people sum up from the successful experiences and form their own. At the same time, these failed experiences can prevent people from repeating mistakes that happened before, thus people can avoid wasting time on the useless jobs and the progress of socialization will be speed up to some extent.

However, there are a series of serious problems that history left to people that people still cannot solve now even not couples of centuries latter. Such as politic problems, religion problems and racial problems, although people has endeavored several decades, none have been worked out entirely even not a very tiny part, and what is more some seemed to be further deteriorated. In another words, history passed their responsibility to the people who live in today’s society courage people to work on.

To sum up, there is a subtle connection between the past days and now. As the Italian philosopher Machiavelli wrote, “Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past.” During the social advancement, people can evaluate the fitness and inappropriateness of past days then figure out new ways to make a wonderful progress in human history.

Argument 47

In this argument, the arguer concludes that the cooling in mid-sixth century was caused by a volcanic eruption. To justify this conclusion the arguer points out that a large cloud, which was created by a huge volcanic eruption or a large meteorite collision, would have been capable of blocking the sunlight. Also, the arguer points out some Asian records of a boom would be consistent with the volcanic eruption that time. I find the argument unpersuasive, for several reasons.

First of all, the arguer fails to provide the evidence that this cooling was caused merely by the volcanic eruption or the meteorite collision. It is possible that such temperature change was caused by the melting of a large scope of icebergs or other reasons. However, the arguer provides no evidence.

Secondly, even if the Asian historical records support the boom existed, the arguer unfairly asserts that there was a volcanic eruption. However, the arguer provides no evidence to support that the boom was caused by such huge volcanic eruption. It is the possible that this boom was created by a earthquake or other reasons. Without eliminating this possibility , I cannot draw the conclusion that there was a volcanic eruption that time.

Thirdly, as the arguer asserts that there was a boom created by volcanic eruption, however, only the records in Asia mentioned it. In this event, the arguer cannot convince me that this volcanic eruption can affect the whole world and further cause the sufficient dust to block the sunlight.

Finally, even if there was no record of flash that we can see, the arguer fails to draw the conclusion that there was no collision at that time. It is entirely possible that the collision occurred in an desolate area so that nobody observed that flash, furthermore this collision occurred without that flash, of course there was no record.

In conclusion, the argument is unpersuasive as it stands. To convince me that the cooling was caused by a volcanic eruption, the arguer must provide more substantiated information that the volcanic eruption indeed happened. To better assess the argument, I would need more detail that coverage of volcanic eruption happened and how can it created such a powerful dust.

120"So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present."
提纲：历史留给我们很多优秀的品质，可以作为我们解决问题的精神动力
      过去的经验可以帮助我们推断新问题的结果，从而选择恰当的解决方法
      诚然，现在有的问题是以前从没遇到过的，只能现代人凭自己的实力解决
Modern society is filled with new and complex problems which require us to search for new guidance in order to solve them. In my observation, the wise choice for us is not only looking back on the past for the former measures but also understanding the present for new ideas.

To begin with, the past is a book abundant with precious virtues and principles which will do many benefits to us in guiding our behaviors. A great person once said “Forgetting of the past is equal to defection.” History ,just like a mirror, can reflect the fundamental of society for modern individual. Franklin Roosevelt ,for instance, is a great person from whom we can find out plenty of honorable characteristics and notable spirits,such as his diligence in carrying out his position of political issue, his adamancy of struggling with severely diseases , his spirits of devoting his life to the prosperity of America and so fourth. It is safe for us to say that an individual puzzling with different kinds of problems could gain great encouragement from him and become strong to meet his problems. Therefore, it is true that modern people meet new and complex problems, but the essential spirit of solving them can be find in the past.

Moreover, history is an explanation and understanding of not only human behavior but also the doctrine of what things will turn out to be. We can analyze the fundamental of society according to the knowledge accumulated throughout the history. Image that if a company meets with a severe period, what step the manager will take? He will convene employees to discuss what measure to take, associated with investigating the similar situation other company conquer in the past. We all have the sense that we can find out the means of solving dilemma in the past since history is a process of it, we can predict the result. Another illustration I find compelling in this point is our opinion of war in the present. No one can deny that our world is not harmony enough. There are conflicts and quarrels every now and then. Albeit different nations might be strongly against with each other , we have being spared every effort to avoid any form of war between them. Because we have known too much about the consequence of war from the history, we have the awareness of keeping peace as possible as we can. No matter how new and complex our society is ,most of the time,we can turn to the past for the answer.

Admittedly, there are some problems our forebears never met so that we should deal with them totally by ourselves. Take Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome for example,  a nightmare for us, our forebears had never met with this kind of disease so that we could not refer to medical records on it , what we can do is only finding out the medicine for this disease by our experiments. It is also can be called the limit of the past.

To sum up, the past is the treasure what our forebears left to us, we should emphasize its importance in guiding our behaviors while we cannot rely on it completely since we might meet absolute new situation.

argument
觉得组长挑的这篇a有点狠，不好写
Argumnet 47:
47.Scientists studying historical weather patterns have discovered that in the mid-sixth century, Earth suddenly became significantly cooler. Although few historical records survive from that time, some accounts found both in Asia and Europe mention a dimming of the sun and extremely cold temperatures. Either a huge volcanic eruption or a large meteorite colliding with Earth could have created a large dust cloud throughout Earth's atmosphere that would have been capable of blocking enough sunlight to lower global temperatures significantly. A large meteorite collision, however, would probably create a sudden bright flash of light, and no extant historical records of the time mention such a flash. Some surviving Asian historical records of the time, however, mention a loud boom that would be consistent with a volcanic eruption. Therefore, the cooling was probably caused by a volcanic eruption.

先理一下思路，看得有点乱，非常的不懂
Phenomena: earth suddenly became cold
Reason: dimming of the sun
Connection: dust cloud
                 two relevant causes: a volcanic eruption
                                              a meteorite colliding (with no evidence  of the necessary  flash so this cause is passed)
终于明白啰嗦的啥 faint
窃以为攻击的关键在于reason；（叫什么来着？釜底抽薪？） 第二位攻击点是connection
The arguer’s reasoning seems to be quite sound. According to the analysis, the reason of temperature reducing during the mid-sixth century is that a volcanic eruption created a large dust cloud which prevented enough sunlight to reach the earth. To support this conclusion, the arguer cited several relevant records. However, after a further analysis, I find this argument suffers from several flaws.

The most important weakness of this argument is that the arguer failed to establish a corresponding relationship between the dimming of the sun and the coldness of the earth. Among the many reasons which can cause the significant coldness of earth, the most important one is that the climate has its own rule of temperature changing. Astronomy study tells us that the earth’s temperature is related to its location in Milky Way galaxy, which also explains the existence of ice age. It is highly possible that the earth was in its ice age in the mid-sixth century so that the temperature was naturally to be extremely low. Another possibility is that the earth’s ability of holding heat decreased, as a result, the temperature of earth was certainly to be low at that time. Therefore, the arguer failed to rule out many other causes of cold temperature.

Moreover, if we admit that the cold temperature was attributed to the dimming of the sun, the arguer also failed to prove that it was because of a dust cloud caused by a volcanic eruption or a meteorite colliding. There are two chief factors which related to this issue, one is the earth’s ability of receiving sunlight, the other is the sun’s ability of emitting light. As for the former, a dust of cloud is only one option, other options such as the aerosphere was thicker than any other time of history, some kind of a particular chemical substance which absorbed more sunlight also cannot be ignored. As for the latter, the sun’s ability of emitting light might be influenced by some activities so that it could not emit as many lights as before. In brief, the arguer cannot prove that the dimming of the sun was because of the dust cloud caused by a volcanic eruption.

Furthermore, the records cited in the argument cannot serve as a strong proof for the conclusion. The accounts was found in Asia and Europe, they cannot prove the cold weather of the earth. Also, the arguer mentioned that no extant historical records of the time mention a flash of a meteorite colliding. This is not equal to there were no such records. It is quite likely that the historians just failed to find out the records.

To sum up, after pointing out so many flaws in the argument, the conclusion cannot be relied on. Before any complements added to it, this argument is not well demonstrated.

第一次作业

真是万事开头难啊！我写得快要吐血了。
大家使劲拍，我经受得打击多了，心理承受能力超强。
Argument 47:

This argument asserts that the probably reason for global cooling in the mid-sixth century is a volcanic eruption. To bolster this conclusion, the argument finds two reasons—“Either a huge volcanic eruption or a large meteorite colliding with Earth” and eliminates the possibility of the latter one. Careful examination of this supporting evidence, however, reveals that it lends little credible support to the conclusion.

To begin with, the argument tends to ignore the fact that there are many factors contribute to the global cooling, volcanic eruption and large meteorite colliding are only two possible causations. It is entirely possible that the cooling was caused by the occurring of the Ice Age, or some other unknown geographical factors, or even result from all these factors acted together. Therefore, the argument can not justifiably conclude that the cooling was caused by a volcanic eruption until considering and ruling out other factors that might have served to the argument. Otherwise the following argument is meaningless.

Granting that the cooling was due to the two reasons as the arguer mentions, the argument unfairly assumes that dimming of the sun in Asia and Europe proves a large dust cloud throughout Earth's atmosphere which blocked enough sunlight to lower global temperatures significantly. Because the only accounts of the dimming of the sun found Asia and Europe can merely support the possible situation in Asia and Europe at that time and does not adequately respond to the global situation. Large as the earth is, conditions of one continent are absolutely different from another. Only if the argument prove that the dimming of sun in Asia and Europe typify the same situation of other places on the earth, can the evidence be credible.

Thirdly, given that the whole earth's atmosphere was blocked from sunlight by large dust cloud, the argument does not provide enough evidence that large meteorite collision did not contribute to the large dust cloud. The argument claims that a large meteorite collision would probably create a sudden bright flash of light, however, "probably" does not mean every time. Perhaps there was large meteorite collision without bright flash of light at that time. What's more, common sense tells us that no extant historical records do not stand that the event did not happened. In the view of such a long period of time, evidence can be missed, destroyed by any possible means. And maybe some evidence can be found in the near future.

Finally, when it comes to the mention of a loud boom, again, the argument uses historical records only from Asia to support a volcanic eruption did occur, which is not persuasive. It is not compellent that a single volcanic eruption occurred in Asia, so as to produce such a large dust cloud that was capable to cover the earth’s entire atmosphere. Further, the mere mention of loud boom does not necessarily indicate that a volcanic eruption happened at that time. Many reasons can explain a loud boom, such as avalanche, landslide, meteoroid collision and so on. Without excluding other possible reasons the argument can not convince me on the final conclusion.

To sum up, the argument cites several evidence to prove that the cooling was probably caused by a volcanic eruption. But none of evidence is well supported. To strengthen it the argument should provide more clear evidence as following: other factors which were attributable to the global cooling did not play roles at the mid-sixth century; the causal relationship between the recorded loud boom and volcanic eruption; other indispensable details to support the argument.

还有issue，头疼啊！！！
Issue120

It is wildly acknowledged that our society is under going a dramatically change and things become more complex than any time before. As a result, many people tend to live under the illusion that understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present. In my opinion, however, I believe that knowing the past still plays an extremely important role in today’s life.

Admittedly, with the rapid development of science and technology, our world is totally different from what in the past which in order to make people’s life more comfortable and easier. In faith, knowing what people ate and dressed themselves and how they lived in the past is helpless for us since what being used now is the most fitful style for us. Yet, on the process of learning history, we make a clear view of the people living in the past and draw many useful lessons from things they did which may help us make less mistakes and lead a more straight way to achieve our goals.

In the first place, the principle applies on a social level. Take a brief view of the history of every country, it is obvious that the unity of a country and stabilization of society are the indispensable premise of the economical development of a society. Any government who is blind to this point may pay a heavy price which they can not afford it. What’s more, every step of progress made by human is also an improvement in technology. Accordingly, peace and development is the motif of today’s world. Any country want to make a great progress on economics have to built a stable society and emphasize on the development of science and technology.

In the second place, the principle also applies on the educational level. The most direct way for students to look back to the past is to take history classes. From the courses they know how the heroes and heroines sacrificed their lives to fight for the freedom and democracy. They realize how difficult it was for scientists to invent a new machine or prove a theorem. They begin to think about what they will contribute to their country and in which why can they realize their dreams. This cognition generated from history lessons produces a far-reaching impact on students and help them to build their philosophy and value judgment.

Furthermore, the principle also lies on other aspects. As in politics, being familiar to history provides governmental leaders more opportunities to take measures properly and efficiently. For example, any government adopts a proper policy will win more support from its civilians. Reforms depend on the need of the most of the people can always achieve a good outcomes and will push the country develop much faster while insincere reforms always plain sailing. Another aspect involves how people deal with the relationship between nature and industry. Human beings used to spare no effort to develop industry meanwhile polluted the environment and finally threatened our own existence. Therefore, it is high time for us stopped adopting the old ways and protected our environment from getting worse.

From what has been discussed above, we can safely draw a conclusion that it is necessary for us to look back for an understanding of the past. Although the past seems to be simpler than today, it is still the groundwork on which we develop our technology and society. Nevertheless, we should not accord every decision to the history and except to solve nowadays’ problems with the traditional means. Or else we will become empiricists and the knowing of the past is helpless.

Whether understanding of the past offers guidance for present living or not, which is a much debated one in that it affected everybody in their daily lives. People may prefer one to another, although some have no opinion about it. But if I am concerned, I think that the statement is arbitrary. In my view, understanding of the past can provide guidance for living in the present at some degree although which is so new and complex.

On one hand, I agree with that such understanding has no use for present living sometimes. For with the development of our society, the present living becomes more and more complex than even before, in which the thinking pattern and idea are quite different from before, especially as for a new case or idea is concerned in the present. In such situation, if we focus on past with most time and money, the great efforts will result to nothing.

On the other hand, it is imperative to take full understanding of the past now and then when facing other matters. History is continuous, which means that there are lots of problems we have to face now that have founded since long time ago, such as equality right between people, social justice and wars. In order to offer completed solves to such matters, it is necessary to trace their origin. In there, an example can give some light to this point. As for the conflicts between china mainland and china Taiwan, the reason for that should be tracked to many years ago. Two parties have a war for the govern right of china but at last one side occupies mainland and the other holds Taiwan. So, when wanting to harmonize the relationship between two parties, the conflict will be all right.

Moreover, understanding of the past can always bring about better growing up chances for youth. The value concept and society concept of youth are not pretty mature, being as important thing during important period. The fine understanding of the past would supply valuables guidance for youth maturity and progress, which can show their inspirational examples of success after listing a host of previous famous persons, can help them avoid repeating mistakes after carefully analyzing errors happened before and can help them fully appreciate the present challenge after combining previous experiences with present knowledge. So people, especially youth, should have a full understanding of the past to widen their vision of world for their development.

All in all, from what has been discussed above, the title statement is arbitrary and we can draw the conclusion that understanding of the past also offers some guidance for the new and complex present lives to some extend.
