[REVISE]People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences th


Recommended Posts

"People have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences that they fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups."

 

While it come to whether people succeed or fail to see meaningful similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups, I hold the view that people have been so encouraged by society to focus on apparent differences, they also ought to find meaningful similarities, however.

 

Meaningful as seeing similarities is, we may not overlook the function of focusing on apparent differences among ideas, individuals, and groups. The pronounced differences provide a good opportunity to study why and how the economic gaps between countries occurred, how the differences influenced our society; meanwhile even judge is the existence of apparent differences positive or negative for the development of our society. Without seeking differences, there would be short of competition among individuals and groups, there would be lacks ambition in a team work. ¡°Seeing the sharp difference between competitors and us¡±, Confucius, as the father of Confucian, once said (and I paraphrase),¡± due to the promoting come from competitors, we can do better than ever before.¡± This statement illustrates the point that studying apparent differences among ideas, individuals, and groups is beneficial to explore an uncertain new world.

 

Too much emphasis attached to focus on apparent difference may obscure the meaning of seeing the similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups. The similarities supply a stable and comfortable environment in order to get rid of troubles in the public issues. A persuadable instance, at present, cited often is that the similar principle of trading standards among countries simplifies the export and import of products that hit foreign markets simply. Thanks to the meaningful Transfer Control Protocol principle, we can communicate with the people from all over the world even with different Operating Systems easily and comfortably. It is certain that without these helpful similarities, huge difficulties prevent ideas, individuals, and groups from sharing, communicating, or cooperating with others. This presentment shows that the meaningful and helpful similarities open a blossomy garden to people who prefer work more efficient to avoid misunderstanding.

 

Simply argued, over focusing on apparent difference might overshadow the meaning of seeing meaningful similarities. As a Chinese old saying goes, ¡°Seeking similarities meanwhile also maintaining difference play an essential role in the progress of a country.¡± It is fair to call a balance between focusing on difference and seeking the similarities.

 

Judging from what we discuss above, we can come to the collusion simply and safely that people should not only focus on apparent difference which have been encouraged by society, but also succeed in seeing the similarities among ideas, individuals, and groups.
