4月25日21:45更新!! ISSUE: 5. Public figures should avoid expressing opinions about things that they have not personally experienced or been directly affected by. 23.Schools should be responsible only for teaching academic skills and not for teaching ethical and social values 111. “The most effective business leaders are those who maintain the highest ethical standards.”“最有效率的企业领导是保持最高道德标准的人。” 1, 支持者会认为, 高道德会赢得reputation and trust; 第一, 高道德生产高质量的产品以及service,顾客稳定stable share of the market; 第二, 高道德会让员工满意度提高(公平,平等). 从而attract those applicants with high ability and keep the employees loyal to the company---最终导致高的productivity. 例子:Bayer, one of the largest pharmaceutic companies in the world, announced that the company would cease production of one of its major products, because of the hazardous ingredients it contained. By doing so, the company suffers great loss on profitability, but gains strong public support and understanding, which can contribute to the long-term success of the company. 2, 但在更多的情况下, 高道德也许不equal to maximal profit. 比如,a, 如果把道德放在第一位的话,企业的executive很可能无法执行裁员活动complete the normal administration, such as raising the price, reducing the superabundant staff… b, 高道德的话,很可能采用最高标准的环保生产——这样很不是cost-effective. 总之,Following such undue concern about ethics, the company may find it impossible to survive in the radical competitive market, let alone to gain large profit.
ARGUMENT: “Last year, we surveyed our employees on improvements needed at Company X by having them rank, in order of importance, the issues presented in a list of possible improvements. Improved communications between employees and management was consistently ranked as the issue of highest importance by the employees who responded to the survey. As you know, we have since instituted regular communications sessions conducted by high-level management, which the employees can attend on a voluntary basis. Therefore, it is likely that most employees at Company X now feel that the improvement most needed at the company has been made.” 人力资源经理给X公司的经营主管的备忘录: 去年,我们向员工调查他们认为X公司应该进行的改进,让他们把改进按重要性排列。结果列印为一张可能的改进的表格。根据调查中员工的反应,“加强员工和管理层的沟通”最具重要性,稳居调查表之首。如你所知,那以后我们建立了由高层管理人员组织,雇员可以自愿参加的常规交流会。因此,看来X的多数员工认为最应该进行的改进已经完成了。 (下文思路单一,两段都是谈调查方法的问题,还可以谈后半部分,“采取了措施就一定能达到目的吗?”) 1. The result of a last year's survey does not necessarily represent the improvement most needed of this year. 2. How was the survey held has not been illustrated by the author, thus making the conclusion groundless. 3. Whether the implement of the mentioned resolution is right or wrong is still unkonwn, it is still too early to say the improvement has been made.
1, 调查的可信性:是否anonymous,如果要named,很可能并不是他们最想要的改进。 2, 改进方法是否充分?是否交流会有很好交流,并且采纳accept意见
AA:某个大城市的居民都应当投资房地产,因为在过去5年里,某一地区房价上升而股票市场同期缺在下跌。未来5年房价仍然会涨,而且投资房子可以再居住过程中享受房子升值的好处,而买股票就不行,因此该市所有的居民都应当投资房地产。(大概是这样) AA: scientists presented a research result that employees tend to be more motivated in the not-for-profite organisation or the companies involved in charitable donoation. The speakers asserts that the companies that the company's productivity and motivation of the employees will be largely increased if the companies undertake charitable works. AA:说有一间卖衣服的店和一家卖家室装修的店比业绩,因为卖衣服的利润在过去的几个月中有下降,而卖家室装修的利润却一直高涨,所以他们决定在明年要扩大家室装修的店面,而缩小卖衣服的店面. AA:说是一个广告设计公司近三年的利润增长在不能持续,而汽车产业的利润很好因为他们用的都是临时的,便宜的工人。所以广告公司应该将25%的工人换成临时便宜的工人。
