题目:To solve the present and future problems, it is necessary to understand the past.
Philosophically, everything in the world has a close contact with anything else everywhere. The author's statement about the past background and history's role in addressing present and future problems tends to be a definite position. Well, the claim is reasonable when it comes to such incidents, for example, especially the political ones, that have close and inseparable relationship with the past history. However, it fails to consider that not all the issues can not get rid of the past. Basically, lots of diverse new things show up everyday at present, in future years as well. Also, the past owned different condition and situation with current society. Therefore, the statement is circumscribed.
To start with, the first reason why I oppose the author's opinion is the global background-like the information explosion era, advanced technology and improvement of international cooperation, etc. In fact, in this day and age, numerous problems, resulted from the advancement of technology and increase of intense strain among many other countries and scarcity of awareness on global culture, could be eliminated by collaboration of different states. If you take a close look at my point, you could see that not only do the problems not exist before but also the past do not share the same universal situation. Thus, nothing could be learned from the past about such confusion.
Second, another reason we should take into consideration is the societal environment. Without doubt, all what we can name about the widespread phenomenon is the booming population, the deterioration of environment, the decrease of natural resources and the less face to face communication among people and so on. Definitely these objective factors are nothing but vital elements that could give rise to problems. Based on this changeable occasion do you think we humankind could still follow the measure adopted before to solve the problem? The answer entirely do not need deep analysis. Concrete methods are supposed to be carried out accordingly. Take the environment and tourism in china for example, in order to develop its economy in the past, the government strongly encouraged the tourism, which consumed lots of natural resources and brought serious pollution to environment. Whereas, nowadays china has to adopt other means, instead of the previous means, to stir economic development in light of the limited resources and alleviation of environmental contamination. This case illustrates there is no use understanding unpractical old times for that the societal situation has changed.
Granted, to better scrutinize and solve the present and future problems, it sometimes really need people to dig the past background and keep track on them like some long-term issues. The matters usually develop step by step, day by day as well and call for a standing management. Here the well-known example comes to my mind-that is global warming. This is a long-range problem caused by large amounts of fuel burning, increase of car exhaust, and the booming population. It is a durable process in demand of lasting control. Apparently, the comparison between the historical document and the current data can bring us more meaningful enlightenment and guidance. Finally, we can deal with problems more completely.
To sum up, the specific questions need different analysis. It is unwise for us to make a sweeping generalization that the past has to be understood in order to solve future and current problems. Of course, we could draw on the experience from the past. But blindly adherence indicates nothing but stupid. Only on the basis of societal background and global strategy can we come up with the proper method and conquer the obstacles. |
