34. Society is based on rules and laws. It could not function if individuals were free to do whatever they want. To what extent do you agree or disagree? (08.10.11)
Sándor Petõfi once wrote: “
We can picture a scene where no one obeys the traffic regulations on the road. Drivers jump the red light, pedestrians do the jaywalking, and cyclists take the liberty of riding on the driveway… What would be the consequences following such absolute freedom? Utter chaos it is. Cars getting hit in the door panels, motorists passing out under the impulsive force of air bags, wheels running over cyclists and pedestrians’ bodies, people’s limbs snapping off and flying through the showcases of the nearby boutiques, kids bursting into tears in the lopsided prams…
such extreme liberalism will only lead to a temporary convenience or comfort, but comes at a tremendous cost. No one would think of such freedom what they really want. Our society also functions like the public traffic system. “Absolute freedom” is a like a beautiful snowflake. It starts melting and vanishes shortly after you hold it in hands. It’s just something drifting down from sky of imagination. The minute you manage to ‘get’ it, you lose it. The freedom of the cyclist who rides on the drive lane is deprived when the rear wheels of the car run over his chest and take his last breathe away. I think all of those who advocate ‘absolute freedom’ are selfish and stupid.
Charles W. Margold , author of the book ‘Sex Freedom and Social Control’ presents in his book that man and society are so intimately and reciprocally interrelated that nothing can be individual without, at the same time being social; nor social without, at the same time, being individual. Individual man makes up society; he contributes to society his individual traditions, and receives there from in return these same traditions socialized. In this respect, every one shall feel obliged to sacrifice some unjustifiable ‘rights’ or ‘freedoms’ for the greater good, which is the precondition for their basic rights. All of us would live in pain and die in disgrace if the laws and rules of the society just collapse.
If a man is free to disseize your house and sleep with your wife without being punished by criminal law and morally denounced, your rights will be violated for nothing. There is also a huge possibility that you become so furious that you put a bullet in his head and burn the house to the ground. Then you get back to the grocery store you work for with a broken heart, and sell alcohol to a 10-year-old boy, who got alcoholism 2 hours later and die in the ambulance on the way to hospital as the driver just bails (he has the right to do that) on receiving a call from his girlfriend, who was just raped by a scumbag on the road. .. isn’t that terrible? No one benefits from such utter freedom in the long run. If our personal rights and freedoms extend to the point where we are harming others or impeding their rights by exercising them, the whole world is damned, and the rights and freedoms of us will be gone. We would turn out to be a bunch of goners.
You can’t make omelets without breaking some eggs. Likewise, no freedom can be absolutely unrestrained. It always comes with obligations and responsibilities, which are mostly specified by the laws and regulations. Obviously, we should seek to find a balance between personal freedom and social responsibilities, instead of acting like frenzied extremists.

1.最近经朋友介绍，收了一个小兄弟做学生，主要负责教他雅思作文。我和他都是双鱼座，非常气味相投。 他充满热情，悟性很好，说很喜欢我的课哈。我当然也很乐于教这么个聪明好学，又会买烟给我抽的好学生。 虽然工作很忙，事情很多，我还是决心和他一起努力，争取作文拿7分以上，这样他才能顺利被英国一所非常好的大学录取。

1：Many languages are dying out today due to the widespread use of English. To what extent do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
Admittedly, we can name a couple of advantages of the widespread use of English, the world’s most dominant Language ever. For instance, the popularity of English enables us to enter a century characterized by globalization, which is entitled to take credit for the peace and prosperity of the post-world-war 2 era, as every country is increasingly relying on each other due to the economic integration. In addition, the study of English is an important way for people from the less-developed areas to get access to and learn the knowledge and state-of-art technologies from the western world; and as far as an individual is concerned, a high level proficiency in English makes it possible for them to open their eyes, see more of the world, or even get accepted by the English-speaking society.
However, we must come to realize that we also cannot afford the drawbacks brought by a mass language extinction. Tens of thousands of species are endangered; oil is on the brink of exhaustion, storage of clean fresh water is dropping…All of the aforementioned tangible "inconvenient truths" have already attracting attention on a global scale, especially those tree-huggers, who are growingly concerned about the "well-being’ of our only home, as we can tell from our day-to-day life that the said facts are apparently putting all human beings in great peril, but have you any clue that languages are undergoing a global extinction crisis that is in enormously excess of the pace of species extinction, and compared with the consumption of most natural resources, the disappearance of a language is both irreversible and irreplaceable. When a language vanishes, centuries of thinking of the dead language speaker about animals, plants, geology and medicine, farming will probably be lost with it.
Not’s that we are merely discarding the knowledge, discoveries, inventions inherited for centuries, as a matter of fact, the integrity of the vanished language speakers into the English-speaking society is nothing short of an outrageous genocide of these people as an ethics. Moreover, as most of the languages are dying out, we will end up with living in a deadly dull and uninspiring world dominated by English and a couple of other major languages as the world loses its rich diversity. In this regard, we can hardly imagine the world’s human beings as a whole is able to evolve in the direction in favor of us. A world in the absence of diversity and differences would finally come back to haunt us, and bring us back to the primal chaos.
In summary, we shall not blow the importance of English out of proportion. Our incompetence and indifference to the conservation of the diversity of languages would be finally at all human beings’ expense. It’s high time we took preventative measures against the Language extinction on a global basis.
