issue52 Education encourages students to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony.

1，        现在的学生忙于知识的学习，在走出学校之后，和他人在思想观念上却很少有共同点。这是社会不和谐的一个重要因素。
2，        教育鼓励学生质疑和评判，通过质疑和评判学生之间相互沟通，加强了理解，促进了社会和谐。
3，        教育培养了学生之间相互包容的能力，进一步减少了冲突，促进社会和谐。

Education has now been playing an ever increasingly important role in people’s life, equipping us with the knowledge and skills needed in our later life. While it encourages students to question and criticize, I disagree with the statement that education does little to promote social harmony.

One of the most crucial factors leading to social discordance is isolation in ideas and values of students. To best prepare themselves for the rapidly changing and complex job market, students, eastern and western, are enthusiastically absorbing knowledge of various kind, together with skills required to handle diverse problems. As a large proportion of time and energy is devoted to acquiring facts and solving problems, much less focus do students give on individual ideas, principles, and values. As a consequence, when students graduate from school and enter the society, they might share nothing in common but knowledge in words and figures, which place potential threats to social harmony. Take Americans for example. Although they reap the benefit of approximately the same education in schools, colleges and universities across the nation, there still exists controversy on issues like death sentences and abortions. If no accordance in attitudes and positions can be attained, however, newspapers and television program will continue to report debates, protests, and extreme behaviors.

It is fortunate that our education has already recognized itself in a situation as such, and more attention is now put upon the understanding of each other-----through questioning and criticizing. The stereotyped education conceptualized as teachers pouring information at one end and students memorizing facts at the other end has been abandoned. Instead, current education encourages students to question and criticize. Teachers in my university, for example, always welcome students to point out their mistakes and drawbacks, contrasting sharply from those refusing to admit their mistakes several decades ago. On the other hand, students are consistently told that they should hold moderate skepticism on everything they learn from textbooks. However, knowledge is far from being the only thing that a student is encouraged to question: significant attention of students now shifts to ideas and values of people, whose experience, educational back grounds, thinking styles differ from theirs. To question is to find out differences; to criticize is to accept, or tolerate, contradicting yet reasonable ideas. As a result, although problems, religious or cultural, may be nonetheless left to socialists, reformers, or politicians, our educated populace are more open and tolerant on these issues than ever before, thus social harmony is promoted.   

What is more, cooperation, highly priced by our modern education, further promotes social harmony. Today, educators have realized that students working in groups may gradually acquire ability of effective communications with others, as well as willingness of conditional sacrifice for the greater good of all. At the same time, more and more projects and researches that call for collaborative efforts are already included in instruction syllabus. Endowing students with advantages for intrapersonal relationships, education enables students to later act properly in the cooperative world. Education thus contributes to social accordance by minimizing possible individual inadaptability in groups beforehand.

In conclusion, education is actually conducive to social harmony, for it encourages students to question and criticize, and to work with others as well. While the former contributes to tolerance of different ideas and values, the latter prepares students better adapt collaborative society in advance.

issue52 Education encourages students to question and criticize, and therefore does little to promote social harmony.

1，现在的学生忙于知识的学习，在走出学校之后，和他人在思想观念上却很少有共同点。这是社会不和谐的一个重要因素。你觉得可信吗？缺乏共同点是学知识学的？学知识还会高山流水呢。
2，教育鼓励学生质疑和评判，通过质疑和评判学生之间相互沟通，加强了理解，促进了社会和谐。
3，教育培养了学生之间相互包容的能力，进一步减少了冲突，促进社会和谐。
建议看看昨天G写的issue52以及后面的评论。

Education has now been playing an ever increasingly important role in people’s life, equipping us with the knowledge and skills needed in our later life. While it encourages students to question and criticize, I disagree with the statement that education does little to promote social harmony.

One of the most crucial factors leading to social discordance is isolation in ideas and values of students. To best prepare themselves for the rapidly changing and complex job market, students, eastern and western, are enthusiastically absorbing knowledge of various kinds, together with skills required to handle diverse problems. As a large proportion of time and energy is devoted to acquiring facts and solving problems, much less focus do students give on individual ideas, principles, and values你的意思是说冲突来自这些？. As a consequence, when students graduate from school and enter the society, they might share nothing in common but knowledge in words and figures, which place potential threats to (on?) social harmony. Take Americans for example. Although they reap the benefit of approximately the same education in schools, colleges and universities across the nation, there still exists controversy (你能说这是教育encourage的？) on issues like death sentences and abortions. If no accordance in attitudes and positions can be attained, however, newspapers and television program will continue to report debates, protests, and extreme behaviors.

It is fortunate that our education has already recognized itself in a situation as such没懂, and more attention is now put upon the understanding of each other-----through questioning and criticizing. 从这一句看，你的意思是说冲突是由traditional education的分灌政策把人们隔离了，彼此不了解？这是不是跟题目说的那个education离太远？The stereotyped (traditional或typical?) education conceptualized as (in which？) teachers pouring information at one end and students memorizing facts at the other end has been abandoned. 灌输式教育下的学生就没有沟通？彼此不了解？需要相互质疑和批判来沟通？到底是实施灌输式教育的社会和谐还是现代教育的社会和谐呢？怎样才算是和谐呢？Instead, current education encourages students to question and criticize. Teachers in my university, for example, always welcome students to point out their mistakes and drawbacks, contrasting sharply from those refusing to admit their mistakes several decades ago这种情况永远都会存在！. On the other hand, students are consistently told that they should hold moderate skepticism on everything they learn from textbooks. However, knowledge is far from being the only thing that a student is encouraged to question: significant attention of students now shifts to ideas and values of people, whose experience, educational back grounds, thinking styles differ from theirs.

As a result, although problems, religious or cultural, may be nonetheless left to socialists, reformers, or politicians, our educated populace are more open and tolerant on these issues than ever before, thus social harmony is promoted.

What is more, cooperation, highly priced by our modern education, further promotes social harmony. cooperation 是question和criticize给的？如果你不把它们之间的关系交待一下，这段就是跑题。Today, educators have realized that students working in groups may gradually acquire ability of effective communications with others, as well as willingness of conditional sacrifice for the greater good of all. At the same time, more and more projects and researches that call for collaborative efforts are already included in instruction syllabus. Endowing students with advantages for intrapersonal relationships, education enables students to later act properly in the cooperative world. Education thus contributes to social accordance by minimizing possible individual inadaptability in groups beforehand.

In conclusion, education is actually conducive to social harmony, for it encourages students to question and criticize, and to work with others as well. While the former contributes to tolerance of different ideas and values, the latter prepares students better adapt collaborative society in advance.

总结一下：
逻辑上的问题！想法本身欠佳！B2甚至有点混乱。
再思考思考，看怎样的idea更有说服力。

我可能有说得不对的地方，仅供参考！

又没写清楚的好象:L
1,学生过于关注于科学知识的学习,但没有注意到彼此观念上的差异
  一个简单的例子.学医的学生掌握了高超的外科医术
但是同一个老师教出来的学生,一个赞同abortion,一个反对abortion
这完全是观念上的问题.毕竟学校没有对abortion是否合理开展教育.
很多问题也是一样,而这正是社会不和谐的因素所在.

2b2我现在也看不懂了
  
3b3的Ts写cooperation is highly priced by modern educaion
   所以是教育给的.
