Should we preseve our historical relics or build modern buildings?
Imagine that you are a mayor of an old small city which has not got fully developed,what would you do to improve the situation that the city is in desperate need of places which can be used for the construction of new modern buildings?Will you stick to preserve all the relics of the city?Will you go against the trend of modernism and put your city in a poor economic situation? The city,especially the one which is in a shortage of land should ,definitely make use of its old places in which some of the old building are located.Despite the citizens may feel regretted for the sacrifice of their culture treasures,the reason,however, are simple and obvious. Why do people still remember a special gift that they have received in a certain situation?Can it be attributed to the special meaning of the present,for example,a gift that does not belonged to you until you reach the age of 18,which means you are not a child any more?Or can it be ascribed to the unforgettable places you receive the gift,like in a foreign country while you are traveling by? The reasons for this common but mysterious phenomenon may be varied,but probably they mostly lie in the fact that they are just special,that is,they are the very presents that you may easily connect them to a certain factor not easily forgot by the receipient,such as a special day ,an unforgettable experience,or a certain place. |
