这是我昨天写的issue
[issue48]"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."
Does the study of history places too much emphasis on individuals, while the most significant events and trends in history were made mostly by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten? I don’t think so. Throughout the history spotted with big events and trends, there were always few person standing unmoved and knows better than else that which road they should take. Thus, I don’t agree with the speaker’s assertion and strongly believe the individuals are worthwhile to be emphasized by history.
At the very beginning, I need to elaborate the qualities of the individuals who were recorded and emphasized by history and elicit some common characteristics those persons do have of which the value is much bigger than what the speaker claimed “groups of people”. As soon as skimming over such historical individuals, we can recognize that they were excellent in intelligence, or were keeping outstanding skills in socialization, or were highly developed in educating people. To be surprised, these people were commonly grasping the visions which can help them look further over the spatial area and time which apparently excelled common mass. Thus, no matter individually, or being a leader, they all performed in a splendid way which open and enlighten descendants.
Secondly, I would need to rectify the misunderstanding that the speaker have had about great historical events and trends. When measuring the composition of these affairs, the speaker seems to focus more on the integrity of the whole, not that the central element of them. If such measurement is reasonable, then we should study about all of the organs and cells of a bird, not the wings which enlightened us most in idea of making planes. President Clinton, played central role in appealing and supporting the third technology revolution in America without knowing all about the technologies, because he had the will to revive USA economy to restore its superpower in the world. In other words, what we remember and learn from history is the main spirit and soul the events want to tell people, and these things are surely diffused and publicized by elites.
Further, what the speaker wants to emphasize seems to be the inequality between the individuals who were in the central status and the hardness of thousands of participants in the events. However, such comparison would be inappropriate merely based on hardness and time the participants contributed. To better impel the whole activity, several people who have greater insight and leadership than others would inevitably grow up to vanguards and marshal the whole forces. The first emperor of Qin dynasty, was standing in the center of the Great Wall---though huge amount of lives were sacrificed there, of which the most important function remembered by history was its firm defend against the invaders from west, and such action made by the emperor will leave precious properties for later generation in military knowledge and the will to protect homelands. Thus, what we must remember most is not the every name of the participants, but the spirit and resourcefulness and philosophy the affair tell us, which was originally diffused by the central elites.
In sum, the speaker lacks a profound understanding to the qualities of the individuals who played a vital role in historical events and tendencies, and inappropriately compares the value of few elites and the whole participants. In my observation, history emphasizes few individuals because they influence more people to join in and impel the events, and further, enlighten later generations. In the final analysis, I fundamentally object the speaker’s assertion.

我昨天写的第一篇issue, 不满意……
issue 51  （因果）
The speaker asserts that only when the education is designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student will it be truly effective. It might be tempting to agree with the speaker on the basis that everyone wants to be the one who has the unique skill and personality. The speaker, however, falsely considers that it must be specifically designed and ignores the feasibility of this proposal. Besides, overemphasis on individual needs may lead to chaos in education.

There is no denying that the student-centered education is more effective than teacher-centered. As a famous saying goes, "the most important function of education at any level is to develop the personality of the individual and the significance of his life to himself and to others. This is the basic architecture of life, the rest is the ornamentation and decoration of the structure." Thus, I can draw a conclusion that education is effective if it can meet the individual needs and interest of each student. One apt illustration of this point is that in the passed twenty years, the education in most country has changed from teacher-centered to student-centered. In the previous years, some educators point out that teacher-student relationship was asymmetrical or unbalanced, since the teacher often played in a role as a dictator and students have little choice but to obey the instruction ordered by their teacher. This may cause to a counterproductive result. Thus, they were inactively in the classroom performance. Fortunately, in recent years, this stereotype is changing gradually. The relationship between teacher and student are progressively becoming symmetrical and students are becoming an active agent in this type of education. They are more enthusiastic about the knowledge since they can voice their own opinion about what the teacher indicates and even can challenge the theories that regarded as the truth for centuries. As a result, we can see an education system which takes individual needs and interests into account will greatly improve students' personalities and stimulate their enthusiastic about knowledge.

Although our school must focus more on student-centered education, the speaker's assertion is troubling in two respects. First of all, the speaker ignores the fact that it is not feasible to specifically designed to meet every student's need and interest. Because each student's needs and interests are distinctively different, thus it is impossible for the school to design a unique education system for every student since the school does not have sufficient ability, time and money to realize it. Especially in the current, the financial crisis influences all aspects in our lives, the education department does not enough funds to support this proposal. Secondly, overemphasizing individuality may have a counterproductive effect. Winding at students' undesirable interests and needs would only result in chaos in education. Students do not want to be the same as others, so they may develop strategies or some strange behaviors to show that they are different from other students, which cannot be accepted by morality. In short, school is unable and unnecessary to provide every student with a unique plan to meet their individualities and interests.

I concede that education which focus on individuality and interest is a significant process in fostering a student. There are other ways, however, to realize this goal and do not have counterproductive. For instance, school can offer some specifically designed program to students and they can choose courses which they are interested. On the other hand, in different education stages, the goals are different. In the elementary and senior school, education should focus on fundamental knowledge. Although sometimes it is boring, it will play a base role in developing students' major in the future. In university, the education's goal is developing students' interest and individuality. Thus, in different stages, educators should set a goal that adapt to students' needs.

In conclusion, the speaker's assertion that only when education is specifically designed to meet student needs and interests will be truly effective is specious, because it is unnecessary and cannot realize dream. Speaker's broader assertion about the essence of education, I prop up this view. Nevertheless, we should not exaggerate the importance of individuality which may injure the overall goal of education. To some moderate extent, education should be designed to meet the individual needs and interests of each student.

TOPIC: ISSUE50 - "In order to improve the quality of instruction at the college and university level, all faculty should be required to spend time working outside the academic world in professions relevant to the courses they teach."
WORDS: 406          TIME: 00:45:00          DATE: 2009/8/6 22:40:33

Will the faculty spend time working outside the universities help their teaching? If the answer say yes, shall all the faculty have to do so? The newly developing idea of gap year --- working outside the campus to explore the world --  seems a good choice for the most teachers, but it may not apply to all.

Pratices makes perfect. From the pratices view, working as a professional adds lots experience to the teaching theory. In the fast developed society, the information are booming quickly. Take the IT industry for example, 10 years ago the Windows 98 system dominates the most computer systems. Three years later, Windows 2002 came into use and took the place of Windows 98 system. Then the Windows XP era came, follwing  by Vista. If the teachers graduated years ago only familiar with the older systerm and did not adapt to the new IT technolgy, probably his curriculum would only remains dull and on theory only. Moreover the fast chaning society  required the faculty to do so. Years before, chalk and blackboard is still the only two things we used in lectures and presentation. Now the multimedia equipment adds great convience to the class. If the faculty only practise the chalk still, the education may be lag behind.  Still in order to help the student better prepare the society, the faculty should do so. Working in the company, the professor would equipped with fresh ideas and the students will in returen get benefit. Also this would bring the connection between the school and company closer. Students could then knows the future job market well and quickly reponds to the job market's need with the help of their professors.

However, there are still some problems derserve attention. Working outside, the professors may have to shorten the teaching process. Besides, the professors are supposed to focus more on the academic rather than on the business world. If they put too much energy and time on the  business outside school, they may probably ensure the students a quality education.

On my perspective of View, I highly recommed the the teachers to take a gap year working oustide the campus or a reaserch programme cofounded by the company could be a very good idea also. The key on working outside is whether the project will at last bring benefit to the student and the society as a whole.  The idea is very pratical if balanced well.
