Today---or tomorrow?

That's the question. Yet unlike the question in Hamlet whom in the face of life or death choice, government, in weighing the importance between immediate problems today and anticipated problems tomorrow, can try to strike a balance between both under on every specific condition. After all, governing a nation is much more complicate, which demand a case-by-case evaluation and integrated solution from different aspects.

In face of immediate and critical problems, such as earth quake or tsunami, government has the irressistable responsility to take a quick and stong actions to save as many people's lives as possible. The devastating earth quake in Haiti killed thousands of people's lives, and more than that, local government lost its ability to relieve the severity. When the whole country was in the state of anarchy, foreign countries took immediate step to help local people in buliding shelthers, finding water, and saving the few lucky people in tones of debris. Those immediate probelms normally happen out of man's expectation, such as natural disasters, or unexpected riots between religious groups or gun fires between two countries. Other countries, in view of the seriousness of the fact, should take immediate step to help people out of the danger, irrespective of their relations with those miserable countries. Governments should taks actions due to humanity. In humanity, we united as a family. Hence, at those critical times， It is government that can integrate the most possible resources to help. It is government that can call for actions from people.

Anticipated problems, if taken seriously, allows various interpretations in accordance with specific conditions. In the context of national defence, anticipated problems would be considered as those possible attacks from other countries. If counted cautiously and considered seriously, government should try to solve the prospect problems in the future. During the Second World War, Amercian government received a letter from Elbert Einstein and his colleagues in warning the government to bulid up the atom bomb research center. In anticipating that Germany would had produced the atom bomb to attack other countries, president Roosevelt permitted this plan and took tremendous efforts in this project, even America was still in the recovery of the Great Depression.

And in other context, such as cultural preservation or environmental protection, government still has to put much effort in dealing those critical issues which might happen in the future.Take cultural preservation project for example, Chinese government has initiated a minority cultural preservation project a few years ago. At this post-modernized and much globalized age, some minority's special custom and artifacts have come to the stage of extinction. Even some critics might justify this with the "survival of the fittes" theory, but this case has nothing to do with the ecological world which measure things in physical way. Minority's culture is the accumulation of human's thought and spirit, therefor preserving this unique culture is to meet the mission of sustainable development, a term coined to state an ideal development that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs If we just ignore the cultural extinction, our future generation will lose the opportunity to appreciate this unique culture.

The same theory can also apply to environemtal protection. Government as the server of the country should strike a balance between present need and future demand. Carbon emission has been the major contributor to global warming. Even scientists are still debating the causes of the global warming, but we can never take a blind eye and deaf ear to those sinking countries. Maybe in the future, what is happening to those countries might happen in our own countries. In this regard, government has to take resolute measures to education citizens to protect the earth, carry out international laws to work out this global problems.

In all, government should understand the differnece between the immediate probelms and future porblems and deal with those problems according to the severity of each problem. There is no one-size-fit-all method, government should have the wisedom to judge and conviction to act.

Today---or tomorrow?

That's the question. Yet unlike the question in Hamlet whom in the face of life or death choice, government, in weighing the importance between immediate problems today and anticipated problems tomorrow, can try to strike a balance between both under（?）on every specific condition. After all, governing a nation is much more complicated, which demands a case-by-case evaluation and integrated solution from different aspects.

In face of immediate and critical problems, such as earth quake or tsunami, government has the irresistible responsibility to take a quick and strong actions to save as many people's lives as possible. The devastating earth quake in Haiti killed thousands of people's lives (killed thousands of people), and more than that, local government lost its ability to relieve the severity (?). When the whole country was in the state of anarchy, foreign countries took immediate step to help local people in building shelters, finding water, and saving the few lucky people in tones of debris. Those immediate problems normally happen out of man's expectation, such as natural disasters, or unexpected riots between religious groups or gun fires between two countries（这句过渡的不是很好，下文也没有展开这句中提到的例子）. Other countries, in view of the seriousness of the fact, should take immediate step to help people out of the danger, irrespective of their relations with those miserable countries. Governments should take actions due to humanity. In humanity, we united as a family. Hence, at those critical times，
it is government that can integrate the most possible (available) resources to help. It is government that can call for actions from people.
这段举的海地地震的例子更偏靠国际援助，虽然与政府有关系，但其本地政府无力执行权力义务，属特例，不是很鲜明。
Anticipated problems, if taken seriously, allows various interpretations in accordance with specific conditions. In the context of national defense, anticipated problems would be considered as those possible attacks from other countries. If counted cautiously and considered seriously, government should try to solve the prospect problems in the future. During the Second World War, American government received a letter from Elbert Einstein and his colleagues in warning the government to build up the atom bomb research center. In anticipating that Germany would had produced the atom bomb to attack other countries, president Roosevelt permitted this plan and took tremendous efforts in this project, even America was still in the recovery of the Great Depression.

And in other context, such as cultural preservation or environmental protection, government still has to put much effort in dealing those critical issues which might happen in the future. Take cultural preservation project for example (as an example), Chinese government has initiated a minority cultural preservation project a few years ago. At this post-modernized and much globalized age (?), some minority's special custom and artifacts have come to the stage of extinction. Even some critics might justify this with the "survival of the fitters" theory, but this case has nothing to do with the ecological world which measure things in physical way. Minority's culture is the accumulation of human's thought and spirit, (human用词不当，范围太大，少数民族文化不可能是人类思想精神的积累精华，可以说是其中一部分，或者说是少数民族本身。)therefore preserving this unique culture is to meet the mission of sustainable development, a term coined to state an ideal development that meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.(句子过长，不好理解，without后半句compromising the ability… 不太通) If we just ignore the cultural extinction, our future generation will lose the opportunity to appreciate this unique culture.

The same theory can also apply to environmental protection. Government as the server of the country should strike a balance between present need and future demand. Carbon emission has been the major contributor to global warming. Even scientists are still debating the causes of the global warming, but we can never take a blind eye and deaf ear to those sinking countries. Maybe in the future, what is happening to those countries might happen in our own countries. In this regard, government has to take resolute measures to education citizens to protect the earth, carry out international laws to work out this global problems（these global problems）.

In all, government should understand the difference between the immediate problems and future problems and deal with those problems according to the severity of each problem. There is no one-size-fit-all method, government should have the wisdom to judge and conviction to act(语法错误，一句两个动词).

这次的issue比上次作业进步很多~拍文的时候也学习了一些表达方法~有一些拼写和少量语法错误，举例论证可以更丰富和深入些。
