"It is primarily through formal education that a culture tries to perpetuate the ideas it favors and discredit the ideas it fears." ------------------------------ 11. "The purpose of education should be to provide students with a value system, a standard, a set of ideas--not to prepare them for a specific job." ------------------------------ 19. "Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem." ------------------------------ 21. "Facts are stubborn things. They cannot be altered by our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions." ------------------------------ 39. "The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making." ------------------------------ 64. "There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws." ------------------------------ 65. "To be an effective leader, a public official must maintain the highest ethical and moral standards." ------------------------------ 73. "Humanity has made little real progress over the past century or so. Technological innovations have taken place, but the overall condition of humanity is no better. War, violence, and poverty are still with us. Technology cannot change the condition of humanity." ------------------------------ 83. "High-speed electronic communications media, such as electronic mail and television, tend to prevent meaningful and thoughtful communication." ------------------------------ 91. "The well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority." ------------------------------ 93. "The only responsibility of corporate executives, provided they stay within the law, is to make as much money as possible for their companies." ------------------------------ 104. "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten." ------------------------------ 114. "As long as people in a society are hungry or out of work or lack the basic skills needed to survive, the use of public resources to support the arts is inappropriate--and, perhaps, even cruel--when one considers all the potential uses of such money." ------------------------------ 117. "Rituals and ceremonies help define a culture. Without them, societies or groups of people have a diminished sense of who they are." ------------------------------ 125. "The material progress and well-being of one country are necessarily connected to the material progress and well-being of all other countries." 七月新增 《孙远gre写作》七月新增pool:4 7 8 20 21 23 28 33 35 37 42 49 56 62 64 68 81 82 91 94 98 99 102 110 117 4. "Academic disciplines have become so specialized in recent years that scholars' ideas reach only a narrow audience. Until scholars can reach a wider audience, their ideas will have little use." ------------------------------ 7. "The stability of a society depends on how it responds to the extremes of human behavior." ------------------------------ 8. "Education will be truly effective only when it is specifically designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student." ------------------------------ 20. "The widespread idea that people should make self-improvement a primary goal in their lives is problematic because it assumes that people are intrinsically deficient." ------------------------------ 21. "To truly understand your own culture-no matter how you define it- requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly different from your own." ------------------------------ 23. "People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups." ------------------------------ 28. "In any profession-business, politics, education, government-those in power should step down after five years. The surest path to success for any enterprise is revitalization through new leadership." ------------------------------ 33. "The people who make important contributions to society are generally not those who develop their own new ideas, but those who are most gifted at perceiving and coordinating the talents and skills of others." ------------------------------ 35. "People today are too individualistic. Instead of pursuing self- centered, separate goals, people need to understand that satisfaction comes from working for the greater good of the family, the community, or society as a whole." ------------------------------ 37. "Major policy decisions should always be left to politicians and other government experts, who are more informed and thus have better judgment and perspective than do members of the general public." ------------------------------ 42. "In any field of endeavor, it is impossible to make a significant contribution without first being strongly influenced by past achievements within that field." ------------------------------ 49. "Most people think that their deeply held values are the result of rational choice, but reason often has little to do with the way people form values." ------------------------------ 56. "The true strength of a country is best demonstrated by the willingness of its government to tolerate challenges from it's own citizens." ------------------------------ 62. "It is possible to identify a person's politics within a very short time of meeting him or her. Everything about people-their clothes, their friends, the way they talk, what they eat-reflects their political beliefs." ------------------------------ 64. "The past is no predictor of the future." ------------------------------ 68. "The problems of modern society have led many people to complain: 'We live in terrible times.' Yet, given the choice, no one today would prefer to live in any other time." ------------------------------ 81. "Important truths begin as outrageous, or at least uncomfortable, attacks upon the accepted wisdom of the time." ------------------------------ 82. "It is possible to pass laws that control or place limits on people's behavior, but legislation cannot reform human nature. Laws cannot change what is in people's hearts and minds." ------------------------------ 91. "Truly innovative ideas do not arise from groups of people, but from individuals. When groups try to be creative, the members force each other to compromise and, as a result, creative ideas tend to be weakened and made more conventional. Most original ideas arise from individuals working alone." ------------------------------ 94. "We learn through direct experience; to accept a theory without experiencing it is to learn nothing at all." ------------------------------ 98. "Too much emphasis has been placed on the need for students to challenge the assertions of others so that they can learn to criticize the views of others. In fact, the ability to compromise and work with others- that is, the ability to achieve social harmony-should be a major goal in every school." ------------------------------ 99. "The bombardment of visual images in contemporary society has the effect of making people less able to focus clearly and extensively on a single issue over a long period of time." ------------------------------ 102. "Now that computer technology has made possible the rapid accessing of large amounts of factual information, people are less likely than ever to think deeply or originally. They feel unable to compete with-much less contribute to-the quantity of information that is now available electronically." ------------------------------ 110. "The purpose of education should be to create an academic environment that is separate from the outside world. This kind of environment is ideal because it allows students to focus on important ideas without being held back by practical concerns." ------------------------------ 117. "Most societies do not take their greatest thinkers seriously, even when they claim to admire them." 《孙远gre写作》十月新增pool:2 5 7 11 16 17 18 19 26 27 2. "If a society is to thrive, it must put its own overall success before the well-being of its individual citizens." ------------------------------ 5. "Many people believe that a few individuals or small groups (family, friends, teachers, celebrities, for example) have caused them to think and behave in the way they do. Yet it is always society as a whole that defines us and our attitudes, not a few individuals." ------------------------------ 7. "People in positions of power are most effective when they exercise caution and restraint in the use of that power." ------------------------------ 11. "No matter what the situation, it is more harmful to compromise one's beliefs than to adhere to them." ------------------------------ 16. "Government officials should rely on their own judgment rather than unquestioningly carrying out the will of the people whom they serve." ------------------------------ 17. "We owe almost all our knowledge not to people who have agreed, but to people who have disagreed." ------------------------------ 18. "The university community consists of three different worlds-the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because each world operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking, rarely is there meaningful interaction among the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences." ------------------------------ 19. "Every new generation needs to redefine 'right' and 'wrong' in its own terms and according to the conditions of its own time." ------------------------------ 26. "Most people prefer restrictions and regulations to absolute freedom of choice, although they would probably deny such a preference." ------------------------------ 27. "Conformity almost always leads to a deadening of individual creativity and energy." |
