1、 GREAWA 范文 Issue 小編給大家整理了 GRE AWA 范文 Issue ,希望大家可以借鑒里面的短語、句子或思 路,給自己的寫作找一些思路和靈感 ,下面小編就和大家分享,來欣賞一下吧。 GRE AWA 范文 Issue We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own.; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning. Do we learn more
2、from people whose ideas we share in common than from those whose ideas contradict ours? The speaker daims so, for the reason that disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning. I concede that undue discord can impede learning. Otherwise, in my view we learn far more from discourse and debate wi
3、th those whose ideas we oppose than from people whose ideas are in accord with our own. Admittedly, under some circumstances disagreement with others can be counterproductive to learning. For supporting examples one need look no further than a television set. On todays typical television or radio ta
4、lk show, disagreement usually manifests itself in meaningless rhetorical bouts and shouting matches, during which opponents vie to have their own message heard, but have little interest either in finding common ground with or in acknowledging the merits of the opponents viewpoint. Understandably, ne
5、ither the combatants nor the viewers learn anything meaningful. In fact, these battles only serve to reinforce the predispositions and biases of all concerned. The end result is that learning is impeded. Disagreement can also inhibit learning when two opponents disagree on fundamental assumptions ne
6、eded for meaningful discourse and debate. For example, a student of paleontology learns little about the evolution of an animal species under current study by debating with an individual whose religious belief system precludes the possibility of evolution to begin with. And, economics and finance st
7、udents learn little about the dynamics of a laissez-faire system by debating with a socialist whose view is that a centrv2ized power should control all economic activity. Aside from the foregoing two provisos, however, I fundamentally disagree with the speakers claim. Assuming common ground between
8、two rational and reasonable opponents willing to debate on intellectual merits, both opponents stand to gainmuch from that debate. Indeed it is primarily through such debate that human knowledge advances, whether at the personal, community, or global level. At the personal level, by listening to the
9、ir parents rationale for their seemingly oppressive rules and policies teenagers can learn how certain behaviors naturally carry certain undesirable consequences. At the same time, by listening to their teenagers concerns about autonomy and about peer pressures parents can learn the valuable lesson
10、that effective parenting and control are two different things. At the community level, through dispassionate dialogue an environmental activist can come to understand the legitimate economic concerns of those whose jobs depend on the continued profitable operation of a factory. Conversely, the latte
11、r might stand to learn much about the potential public health price to be paid by ensuring job growth and a low unemployment rate. Finally, at the global level, two nations with opposing political or economic interests can reach mutually beneficial agreements by striving to understand the others leg
12、itimate concerns for its national security, its political sovereignty, the 3 stability of its economy and currency, and so forth. In sum, unless two opponents in a debate are each willing to play on the same field and by the same rules, I concede that disagreement can impede learning. Otherwise, rea
13、soned discourse and debate between people with opposing viewpoints is the very foundation upon which human knowledge advances. Accordingly, on balance the speaker is fundamentally correct. GRE AWA 范文 Issue A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they ente
14、r college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer. The speaker would prefer a national curriculum for all children up until college instead of allowing schools in different regions the freedom to decide on their own curricula. I agree i
15、nsofar as some common core curriculum would serve useful purposes for any nation .At the same time , however , individual states and communities should have some freedom to augment any such curriculum as they see fit; otherwise, a nations educational system might defeat its own purposes in the long
16、term. A national curriculum would be beneficial to a nation in a number of respects .First of all, by providing all children with fundamental skills and knowledge, a common core curriculum memebers of society. In addition, a common core curriculum would provide a predictable foundation upon which co
17、llege administrators and faculty could more easily build curricula and select course materials for freshmen that are neither below nor above their level of educaitonal experience.Finally, a core curriculum would ensure that all school-children are taught core values upon which any democratic society
18、 depaends to thrive, and even survive-values such as tolerance of others with different viewpoints ,and respect for others. However, a common curriculum that is also an exdusive one would pose certain problems, which might outweight the benefits, noted above, First of all, on what basis would certai
19、n likelihood these decisions would be in the hands of federal legislators and regulators, who are likely to have theis own quirky notions of what should and should not be taught to children-notions that may or may not reflect those of most communities , schools, or parents.Besides,government officia
20、ls are notoriously susceptible to influence-pedding by lobbyists who do not have the best interests of societys children in mind. Secondly, an official, federally sanctioned curriculum would facilitiate the dissemination of propaganda and other dogma which because of its biased and one-sided nature
21、undermines the very purpose of true education: to enlighten. I can easily foresee the banning of certain text books ,programs ,and websites which provide information and perspectives that the government might wish to suppress- as some sort of threat to its authority and power.Althought this scenario
22、 might seem far-fetched,these sorts of concerns are being raised already at the state level. Thirdly, the inflexible nature of a uniform national curriculum would preclude the inclusion of programs. courses, and materials that are primarily of regional or local signifcance.For example, California re
23、quires children at certain grade levels to learn about the history of particular ethnic groups who make up the states diverse population. A national curriculum might not allow for this feature, and Californias youngsters would be worse off as a result of their ignorance about the traditions,values,a
24、nd cultural contributions of all the people whose citizenship they share. finally, it seems to me that imposing a uniform national curriculum would serve to undermine the authority of parents over their own children , to even a greater extent than uniform state laws currently do . Admittedly ,laws r
25、equiring parents to ensure that their chiledren receive an education that meets certain minimum standards are Issue well-justified,for the reasons mentioned earilier.However, when such standards are imposed by the state rather at the community level parents are left with far less power to particapat
26、e meaningfully in the decision-making process.This problem would only be exacerbated where decisions left exclusively to federal regulations. In the final analysis, homogenization of elementary and secondary education would amout to a double-edged sword. while it would serve as an insurance policy a
27、gainst a future populated with illiterates and ignoramuses, at the same time it might serve to obliterate cultural diversity and tradition. The optimal federal approach, in my view, is a balanced one that imposes a basic curriculum yet leaves the rest up to each state -or better yet, to each communi
28、ty. GRE AWA 范文 The video camera provide such an accurate and convincing record of contemporary life that it has become a more important form of documentation than written records. According to the speaker,the video recording is a more important means of document hag contemporary life than a written
29、record because video recordings are more accurate and convincing. Althought i agree that a video provides a more objective and accurate record of an events spatial aspects, there is far more to document about life than what we see and hear. Thus the speaker overstates the comparative significance of
30、 video as a documentary tool. For the purpose of documenting temporal,spatial events and expriences, i agree that a video record is usually more accurate and more convincing than a written record. It is impossible for anyone,no matter how keen an oberserver and skilled a journalist, to recount ha co
31、mplete and objective detail such events as the winning touchdown at the Super Bowl, a Ballanchine ballet,the Tournament of Roses Parade ,or the scene at the intersection of Florence and Normandy streets during the 1992 Los Angleles riots.yet these are important events in contemporary life the sort o
32、f events we might put has a time capsule for the purpose of capturing our life and times at the turn of this millennium. The growing documentary role of video is not limited to seminal events like those described above. Video surveillance cameras are objective witnesses with perfect memories.Thus th
33、ey can play a vital evidentiary role in legal proceedings -such as those involving robbery,drug trafficking,police misconduct,motor vehicle violations, and even malpractice in a hospital operating room.Indeed,whenever moving imagesare central to an event the video camera is superior to the written w
34、ord.A written description of a hurricane,tornado,or volcanic eruption cannot convey its immediate power and awesome nature like a video record .A diary entry cannot replay that wedding reception ,dance recital,or surprise birthday party as accurately or objectively as a video record.And a real estat
35、e brochure cannot inform about the lighting, spaciousness,or general ambiance of a featured property nearly as effectively as a video. Nonetheless,for certain other purpose written records are advantageous to and more appropriate than video records.For example , certain legal matters are best left t
36、o written documentation: video is of no practical use ha documenting the terms of a complex contratual agreement,an incorporation,or the establishment of a trust.And video is of little use when it comes to documenting a persons subjective state of mind, impressions,or reflections of an event or expr
37、ience.Indeed, to the extent that personal interpretation adds dimension and richness to the record,written documentation statistical or other quantitative information. Returning to the riot example mentioned earlier,imagine relying on a video to document the financial loss to store owners ,the numbe
38、r of police an firefighters involved, and so forth .Complete and accurate video documentation of such information would require video cameras at every street corner and in every aisle of every store. In sum, the speakers claim overstates the importance of video records, at least to Issue some extent
39、. When it comes to capturing, storing ,and recalling temporal,spatial events ,video records are inherently more objective,accurate, and complete.However, what we view throught a camera lens provides only dimension of our life an times; written documentation will always be needed to quantify ,demysti
40、fy,and provide meaning to the world around us. GRE AWA 范文 it is often necessary ,even desirable,for political leaders to withhold information from the public. i agree with speaker that it is sometimes necessary , and even desirable ,for political leaders to withhold information from the public. A co
41、ntrary view would reveal a naived about the inherent nature of public politics ,and about the sorts of compromise on the part of well-intentioned political leaders necessary in order to further the publics ultmate interests.Neverthless,we must not allow our political leaders undue freedom to with-ho
42、ld information, otherwise,we risk sanctioning demagoguery and undermining the philosophical underpinnings of any democratic society. One reason for my fundamental agreement with the speaker is that in order to gain the opportunity for effective public leadership,a would-be leader must first gain and
43、 maintain political power .In the game of politics,complete forthrightness is a sign of vulnerability and naivete ,neither of which earn a politician respect among his or her opponents,and which those opponents will use to every advantage to defeast the politician.In my obserbvation some measure of
44、pandering to the electorate is necessary to gain and maintain political leadership. For example, were all politicians to fully disclose every personel foibles,character flaw, and detail concerning personal life,few honest politicians would ever by elected.While this view might seem cynical, personal
45、 scandals have in fact proven the unding of many a political career; thus i think this view is realistic. Another reason why i essentially agree with the speaker is that fully disclosing to the public certain types of information would threaten public safety and perhaps even national security. For e
46、xample,if the President were to disclose the governments strategies for thwarting specific plans of an international terrorist or a drug trafficker,those stragies would surely fail, and the publics health an safety would be compromised as a result.Withholding information might also be necessary to a
47、void public panic .while such cases are rare,they do occur occasionally.For example,during the first few hours of the new millennium the U.S. Pentagons missile defense system experienced a Y2K-related malfunction.This fact was witheld from the public until later in the day ,once the problem had been solved; and legitimat
