In any profession—business, politics, education, government—those in power should step down after five years. Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the claim. In developing and supporting your position, be sure to address the most compelling reasons and/or examples that could be used to challenge your position.
我写的: I cannot agree with the conclusion that those in power of any enterprise should step down after five years. In my opinion, whether an organization's leadership needs to be changed is based on its own situation. The people working in government have the obligation to step down after a period of time, while in other fields, like business and education, things might be different. First of all, it is absolutely necessary to set a time limit for a nation's government, because long period of governing by same person may result in autocratic regime, which has been proved that it is harmful or even destructive for a nation. Take the example of the autocrat of Soviet--Stalin, who had ruled the former Soviet Union for more than 20 years, and brought catastrophe to people under his governing. On the other hand, however, the prime minister of the United Kingdom--Churchill, a nation hero in the Second War like Stalin, had been voted down after the war, thus the people in UK had the right to enjoy democracy. Hence, we are ought to set up a system of Law and administration to make sure that our government is continually revitalizing through new leadership. Actually, most of the countries in the world utilize the similar system that set time limit to leaders. As to the field of economy, things are very different since the essence of business is to make profit and the basic principle of nearly all the companies are principle of profit maximization. On this ground, companies will choose someone who can lead them to make money until the leaders are not able to take benefits to companies. The term of "vote on feet" is based on this situation. So, it is not mandatory for CEOs of companies to step down after five years. Take the former CEO of GE--John Welch who has led the General Electric from 1981 to 2001 as an example, he ruled GE for such a long time that he knew what strategy is suitable for GE and can always take GE on the right way. This success strongly proves that when it comes to the leadership in business field, time limit is of no use. Concerning the conditions in education field, a relatively longer period might be more appropriate for those in power in my point of view. Because it is essential for the policy in education field to be continual and if we change leaders frequently, the difference of every leader is possible to destroy the comprehensiveness of educational policy. On the other hand, the stability in the mechanism of teaching is more important than creativity. Certainly, testing of leadership in educational field is no doubt necessary. From all the discussions above, time limit for those who has authority in government is necessary, but it has not to be 5 years. In economic field, businessmen will vote on feet and choose the most suitable leaders without time limit, and the leaders in educational field are probably need a longer time.
