1. Should Star Reality Shows Be Decreased?应减少明星真人秀吗？
Since stars or celebrities often have great charisma to attract and affect ordinary people, those reality shows they attend can arouse our reflection ad discussion on some issues we may have ignored before.
Let’s take the example of a well-known star reality show “Dad, Where Are We Going?” Not only does the program trigger our precious memory about care and love from fathers, but different ways of interaction between star fathers and their children bring about a fierce discussion about the family education and let us rethink the way we get along with our families.
In addition, star reality shows, to some extent, have been used recently as an important way to introduce China’s regions and to promote tourism of the place where they have been filmed. When “Chinese Running Man”, a reality TV show that gets popular Chinese stars to complete different tasks outdoors, filmed a segment in Dunhuang, Gansu province, it brought a lot of good publicity to the area. After the show was broadcast, there were hundreds of news reports on Gansu and thus it attracted thousands of tourists throughout the country.
It is unnecessary to fix our eyes on tiny shortcomings of some star reality shows because, on the one hand, programs demonstrating what the society wants and needs will definitely retain and if not, they will finally vanish from sight; on the other hand, many star reality shows benefit the audience and the economic growth.
2. Should the Media Reveal the Privacy of Celebrities? 媒体应不应曝光名人隐私？
The privacy of celebrities has long been a issue that sparks fierce debate. Many people argue that famous people should have a price to pay for their high salaries and luxurious life. In spite of that, I believe the media should be discouraged from hounding celebrities for their privacy.
Undoubtedly, it is really difficult to quench the desire of journalists and the public for the anecdotes and even lousy stories of famous people. However, celebrities are human beings in the first place and they are also entitled to privacy, the fundamental human right. They are ordinary people in the supermarket when doing their weekly food shopping. Their pain will be exacerbated due to constant exposure of their broken family. As a man, privacy is just a necessity. On the other hand, the media are now going too far by revealing intimate photos and stories about their romances and failing marriages. It has become a harassment to celebrities, hurting them ad even their families. In many cases, it is not just the violation of privacy but malicious slander and therefore must be regulated.
In conclusion, laws are needed to state what is acceptable in revealing activities of celebrities. Although famous people, who are constantly in the public eye, will never expect that no one talks to them when they go shopping, a boundary does exist, beyond which they will be hurt.
3, Should Young People Purchase an Apartment or Rent One?
As prices of houses are skyrocketing, twenty something people (二十来岁的人）are faced with a tough question: Should they rent an apartment or buy one? I do not think this is a question that can be answered simply with a “yes” or “no”. The decision should be made on the
basis of in-depth analysis of their own situations.
In some instances, owning an apartment is an attractive option. You don’t have to watch your monthly payments go into the pockets of your landlord with nothing to show for your investment, and therefore it can be comparable to renting in the long run. If you have enough down payment, a stable job with monthly pays that can cover the mortgage, purchasing an apartment is definitely a good choice. However, many young people prefer to rent an apartment due to the flexibility it provides. So for those who are not satisfied with their present job and prefer to change constantly, they had better not burden themselves with a horrible mortgage, which may prevent them from job-hopping(跳槽） and spending money on training. Besides, renting may be more practical for those who just graduate from university with no savings to cover the down payment.
Overall, when deciding whether to buy or rent an apartment, young people should not just follow suit(随大流）. Instead, they should base their decision on reasoning, because it will have a far-reaching impact on their life.
4. My View on Ant Tribe (蚁族之我见）
Ants are famous for their ability to survive, and so is the group of young residents known as the “ant tribe”, a term coined by sociologists to describe the struggling young migrants, who, armed with their diplomas, scramble to big cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, in the hope of living a better life only to find low-paying jobs and poor living conditions.
The state of ant tribe has prompted a national concern. People wonder how the ant tribe comes into being. I think there are many complicated reasons contributing to the formation of it. Firstly, college graduates, with hopes for a higher quality of life, rush to large cities because of the big rural-urban and rich-poor gap. Secondly, the dramatic increase in university enrollment over the past decade produces a growing number of college graduates, who lose their glamour in the fierce competition of the job market. At last, the appeal of the low cost of living attracts thousands of young migrants to the outskirts.
Fortunately many young “ant” are optimistic about their future, expecting a higher-paying job and a brighter future. To them, the hardship is temporary and necessary to achieve their urban dream. But it doesn’t mean we can turn our back upon them. The ant tribe phenomenon sounds the alarm for college students, and it also calls our attention to the pressure of employment, housing and so on. Ants have dreams, and these dreams deserve our concern and protection even though they are small.
5. My Views on Micro-Charity （微公益之我见）
With the improvement of society and people’s living standard, more and more ordinary people are engaged in a new form of charity -- micro-charity, which wins overwhelming (势不可挡的，压倒一切的）support and benefits a lot of people.
Micro-charity has emerged as a shining star in charity activities. It encourages ordinary people to explore those small demands which are easily ignored. Besides, compared to the traditional form of charity, micro-charity is totally grassroots charity which relies on ordinary people. Furthermore, micro-charity not only encourages people to find others’ demand but also involves themselves in charity to express their love and kindness.
Under these new concepts, micro-charity has its own advantages. Firstly, micro-charity is
quite a convenient and easy way for people to involve in charity since it lowers the threshold for charitable participation. Secondly, micro-charity can draw a lot of attention and strength of our society through Weibo and other net platforms. Online charity information can be disseminated rapidly and widely. Lastly, it can stir up impressive resources to solve problems, which makes charity sustainable. All these advantages make it possible to get people together, who, as a group, can more easily help others and finally help our society make progress.
To sum up, with its specific concepts and obvious advantages, micro-charity makes people see how easily they can strengthen their own personal values through performing good deeds instead of considering charitable work to be reserved for the rich. In a word, micro-charity will surely help to make a better world.
6. My View on the Protection of China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage 中国非物质文化遗产保护之我见
The Chinese government is now facing a fierce challenge on the protection of its intangible cultural heritage. In my opinion, it is globalization and urbanization that lead to the present dilemma of the protection of China’s intangible cultural heritage.
First, people are more likely to be fascinated by foreign cultures. The trend of globalization has exposed Chinese people to a totally new world. They are so curious about those things they have never experienced before. When embracing the new, they may often ignore the old passed down from their ancestors. A good example will be those legendaries passed down by storytellers. Seldom will anybody be aware of the significance of passing these treasures down to our next generation.
Second, the rapid expansion of urbanization demolishes （破坏）our traditional culture. Typical ancient Chinese historical remains and featured buildings are being pulled down and more modern buildings of steel and cement are taking their place. It is more and more difficult for us to find trace of our traditional civilization, for all the newly built towns and cities are so alike that we could hardly tell the one from the other. How could the intangible cultural heritage survive without its host?
In conclusion, the protection of China’s intangible cultural heritage is very urgent and still has a long way to go. The government should set sustainable policies in developing economy (制定发展经济的可持续政策）and make efforts to raise all the people’s awareness and fund those who are engaged in the protection of our intangible culture heritage.
7. My Idea of College Banning Selfies on Formal Occasions 我对大学禁止在正式场合自拍的看法
Self-portraits have been around since the early days of photography, bu it was the growth of cellphone cameras that made them into a pop cultural phenomenon. Some universities have started a mini-trend when they banned selfies at graduation, arguing that stopping to snap means dragging out an already hours long ceremony -- or sullying its significance. (贬低它的重要性）While my opinion on selfies is that it should be promoted rather than prohibited.
To begin with, by taking selfies, students can share with their friends and relatives their most important and memorable moments in their life. In the past we used to keep these memories with the help of other photographers. Although we may have some good photos as memory, that was rather passive and left not any choice for students themselves. So, taking selfies is simply a
personal way to show what’s happening at the moment and what they see themselves at the moment. In this way graduates were just exhibiting their excitement and that colleges should embrace it.
What’s more, taking selfies can build excitement and add excellence to students’ study and life. Many universities encourage students to join pages which the universities compile in the online publication. Thus the university hands over the control of their social media accounts to students, which is a really great hands-on experience （真正的实践经验）to show their love for the university. In this way the university can put school stuff into social media, and it can also bring social media into the real campus life.
What I have sketched out （概述）above can naturally result in the conclusion that for colleges, banning selfies on formal occasions is of no necessity at all. When properly managed, it can not only help students to have a sweet memory of these important moments, but also will serve as a better tool to bring these universities closer to the society.
8. My View on Chinese Students’ Psychological Problems
A recent survey shows that the mental health of China’s youngsters is on the decline. Many college students feel isolated and more feel social injustice. These feelings have led to psychological problems like Internet addiction and suicide. In my opinion, the current crisis of personality is the consequence of the lack of psychological care from both family and society.
First and foremost, family factors contribute most to students’ mental problems. We often say that parents are the first teachers of their children. A good family environment is the prerequisite of the development of children. But many parents neglect their task in the fostering of a child’s early characters and may consider financial support as their sole duty. Without parents’ love and escort, children often feel lonely and even deserted, which may cause their loss of family cohesion.
What’s more, the society, especially schools, did not attach enough importance to the sound development of students’ mental health. The whole society and the majority of schools in China still adopt an examination-oriented educational concept. The only standard to assess a school is their admission rate to famous schools. Under such circumstances, teachers will care more about “good students” and neglect “bad students”, and thus “bad students” may develop psychological problems.
Young students’ mental problem is by no means a minor issue; it is closely related to the rise and fall of the Chinese people. We should not forget students’ mental health when emphasizing a good master of knowledge. It is time that the whole nation should seriously consider the crisis and take measures to solve it.
9. My Idea of Professional Ethics of a Scholar 我对学者职业道德的看法
It;s no doubt that a distinguished scholar should be learned and creative. Besides these, having good professional ethics is also important to both the society and the scholar himself. As far as I’m concerned, good professional ethics of a scholar involve the following aspects.
Above all, an outstanding scholar is never willing to utilize his knowledge to fish for fame and credit. （沽名钓誉）Conversely, he’ll do his utmost to bring benefits to the general public. In order to raise the living standards of people and make our world a better place to live in , he would devote himself to the advancement of technology.
Secondly, a respectable scholar should instruct young people selflessly, offer help to those who have troubles in their work, and keep good relationship with other scholars. During scientific research, mutual communication and teamwork are rather significant. On the basis of trust, great scientific accomplishments will be gained.
Furthermore, a good scholar should be loyal to his scientific work and respect the work of others. Never should he allow himself to involve in the plagiarism （剽窃）or false research findings.
Finally, a scholar shoulders great duties so he must be responsible to the society and himself. When making decisions, he should insure that these actions are the result of countless tests rather than made in haste.
Taking all these factors into account, I may safely reach the conclusion that if an excellent scholar wants to win the respect of the people and contribute more to people’s benefits, he must have good professional ethics.
10. Should Square Dancing Be Stopped?
Square dancing, or \numbers dance to loud music in squares or parks, they make dancing a controversial issue which needs to be carefully addressed. Those arguing that square dancing should not be stopped believe that the senior can get exercise, obtain company and maintain social contacts through this activity. But it cannot be denied that Guangchangwu needs to be regulated because of the noise pollution it makes and the social instability it triggers.
When people turn up the music in the public at inappropriate time, they create a din that people in the neighborhood can't bear, which therefore leads to a spate of confrontations between people practicing Guangchangwu and neighborhood residents. Media outlets have reported an alarming number of events about square dancing: A man irritated by the loud and throbbing dancing music even fired a shotgun into the air to scare away the dancers near his house. In Hubei provincem residents of a locality threw rubbish at people dancing in a square. Before that, a group of students in Hebei province calling for a quiet atmosphere to study organized a silent protest against people playing loud music by blocking the \of the dancers in a square.
To solve such a controversial issue, on the one hand, the authority should restrict the time, venues and the use of loudspeakers; on the other hand, senior citizens can seek for other activities such as traveling or playing mahjong. We youngsters should spend more quality time with our parents and grandparents to make them feel needed.
