1.How to win love
The youth frequently ask how to win love. In my opinion, before planning to win love, you have to understand exactly the meaning of true love. It is impossible to gain some thing whose meaning you don’t know. So, what is the authentic love?
The most centre meaning of love is to tolerate imperfection. As we all know, there is no perfect thing in the world, hence, nobody is perfect but God. You must be aware of the many sides of the other person, including his/her limitation, inconsistencies and flaws. In a love relationship there exist times of boredom, real strain etc., besides happiness. Someone says that love comes into an imperfect world to make it livable. Therefore, to know the person from whom you are going to win love is the first step. Then, enduring rough times when you feel like giving up and experiencing an impasse.
Additionally, love is independence -not excessive dependence on the person for your meaning and survival. Love is freeing, so, please give more space for you and the person you love to develop.
Simply put, you will win love, if you completely understand Fromm’s words: Mature love is union under the condition of preserving one’s integrity, one’s individuality. In love this paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two.
2.The Fourth Millennium in My Eyes
Technology has shrunk the globe and stretched our lives and our minds, and, this situation will continue as long as human society exists. What will the fourth millennium look like?
In my eyes, a thousand years later, there will be great changes in many areas. But, the future will not be utterly foreign, because human nature will not change. Taking education, new electronic equipments and new modes of education will be popularized, such as on line schools. All the revolution, however, will not make the schoolroom obsolete, for the interactions among students and teachers are essential to the students’ forming characters. As for computer, it will be used in all kinds of fields to serve us—not control. Blooming virtual society, for instance e-community, will increase communicating convenie
nce and ways of entertainment. Yet, virtual reality will never make us permanent antisocial shut-ins. Because, being social species, humans have instincts to communicate by face-to-face contact.
All in all, People in the world of 3000, I think, will live in the world in which technology will enrich rather than dominate human lives.
3.The Organic Foods
Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated.
The organic foods are purely natural products without using chemical agent, such as chemical fertilizer or pesticide, during the growing process. Many people believe that such foods are safer and more nutritious than the foods produced on a large scale by traditional methods. That may be right, for the natural nutrients are not destroyed in their growth cycles. Nonetheless, it is pity that there is no scientific evidence to support it. On t
he contrary, I know that some natural products, for instance some bee products, which are poisonous in themselves, have to be processed for diet. The key forming the view, I think, is that the organic foods are more delicious and tasteful. Comparatively speaking, the organic foods are too costly and inefficient, for their long growing time and inadaptability to mass production, to meet needs of population growth.
To sum up the above arguments, the organic foods are not the best food choices, but they can serve as a complementary to others.
4.Young People without an Education
As we all know, education, of young people especially, plays an important role in human development. Some say that the issue of youth education has to do with the survival of a nation. According to relative statistic data, there is still a relatively large group of young people who do not complete a youth education. Why?
One of the main causes of the social problem has something to do with family backgroun
d. Poverty plays some part in it. But experts in youth education claimed that parental influence greatly affects children’s attitude of learning. Parents fail to offer parental guidance for different reasons: Some are busy with their own work and neglect their children; some are not aware of the importance of education--they don’t view youth education as the preparation for the youth to become potential leaders, etc.
Furthermore, the forms of education on offer cause partly the problem. So far, in china, the education is mostly examination-oriented, which leads to teachers’ blind cramming. Some children are sick of this form of education and give up learning.
To conclude, about the issue young people without an education, I quote experts’ saying that there are no problem children, only problem guardians.
5.Individualism vs. collectivism
assertivelyIndividualism and collectivism are quite different in some aspects. Are they conflicting?
Generally speaking, individualism is formed in the western societies, and collectivism in th
e eastern societies. In the west, the focus is on the individual, in the east, the focus is on the relationship between individuals. The western value evolves from Hunting Societies, in which the accent was autonomy and individualism. The eastern value comes from Planting Societies- from which comes the notion of interrelation, interconnection and interdependence- in which suppression of individual impulses is required. From these different values evolved very different ways of doing business, and different ways of conducting ourselves within our society. To the extent, individualism and collectivism seem to be conflicting.
