编辑点评: 很多参加GRE的考生在做GRE写作的时候都没有写提纲的习惯,这是非常不好的。提纲在GRE写作当中起到了至关重要的作用。从今天起,我们将对GRE issue进行分析,弄清写作思路,这样才能让GRE issue得高分。 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. 现在的人们太个人主义了。与其追求以个人为中心和孤立的目标,人们更需要明白满足是源于为家庭、社区或者整个社会的更大利益的服务。 正文: The modern economics stands on the basis of some core assumptions, one of which is that when individuals and private companies strive for their own good, usually by the same token they contribute to the whole society, whether consciously or unconsciously.Along with the development of free economy goes individualism that seemingly amounts to egoism. People have never cease questioning individualism and some advocate collectivism instead. In my view, however, until now individualism still serves the society at large very well because the society has inherent capability to convert individual pursuits into societal contributions. I used to be an advocator for collectivism. I even remember a sentence from a passage criticizing individualism fiercely: Individualism +individualism=collectivism? Of course, individualism cannot change into collectivism by a simply plus. I also, even now, firmly stand against egoism that emphasizes one s self to an extreme extent that he or she ignores or despises others and is somewhat anti-social. |
