Made by Cousin Any comments are welcomed 170 "THE SUREST INDICATOR OF A GREAT NATION IS NOT THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF ITS RULERS, ARTISTS, OR SCIENTISTS, BUT THE GENERAL WELFARE OF ALL ITS PEOPLE." Ever since the existence of human beings, we are in the relentless pursuit of the truth. The truth that dominates the great nature, the truth that lies beneath the Milky Way, the truth that explains the very principle of quantum physics. The process is the history of mankind. From Caesar to Einstein, we attempt to achieve what hasn't been achieved before. We conquered other nations and formed a great empire ever; we conquered the scientific obstacles and formed a significant physics laws. We are therefore ambivalent to this pursuit of truth: it may sacrifice the lives of innocent people but it may also ameliorate them. When we look up and are amazed by how vast the cosmos is, we want to build up something great that can compares to the greatness of the universe. We, at the moment of spotting a spectacular sight, tries to put down in words the beauty of the nature. Confused by the natural phenomenon, we ponder the problems for years and finally derive a theory to explain them. People thus have the Seven Wonders of the World, the masterpieces of literature and art, and the scientific laws and theories. These achievements are all great- for they are all unique. It is this pursuit that gives impulse to the development of human technology; it is also this pursuit that brings about the cruel wars among people and nations. For the general people, however, these achievements are not indispensable. They could be beneficial, but never would they be necessary. People don't need the Colossus of Rhodes to live a healthy life; Hamlet wouldn't help in a famine; Solving Maxwell's equations can't solve the entangled problems in Middle East. The general welfare is people's concern. What people want is to live without disease and injury, without hunger and thirst, without fear and sorrow. As technology developing to this extent, we presumptuously think that we are at the culmination of the human history. We think we have the right to judge what is great and what is not now: we may regard a nation as a great one for its long reign or its grand territory; we may say that it's a great nation for its people living carefree lives. But we don't. As the pursuit of the truth will never end, never will we be sure that we're at the apogee of technology and have the right to judge. Only those who come after us can tell.

Hello everyone, this is my first essay here, and i'm taking the test next Monday Any comments are all welcome:P:) Topic: 178 It is possible to pass laws that control or place limits on people¡¦s behavior, but legislation cannot reform human nature. Laws cannot change what is in people¡¦s hearts and minds. Society is a gathering of human beings. Living together is human nature. Ever since several cavemen inhabited in the same cave, human started the era of co-inhabited. People gather together in order to corporate. Because a single man cannot do all things by himself, people search for help and also do his effort for others as return. Therefore, some cavemen hunted, some gleaned fruits, some cleaned the cave, each one did his/her for the whole while the whole gave more to every individual. The small society has begun. However, everyone is unique and distinct from others. They have different thought and different concepts, and naturally pursue their own well-beings. Conflicts will be aroused as more and more people living together in a society. Consider that if there¡¦s no limitation made for the greedy desires, the world will be such a mess. Here we set up laws, in order to prevent harm from others, and also to restrict one to infinitely enlarge his/her desire without considering others¡¦ feelings. As stated above, laws are making protection to people, even though they appeared to be restriction to individuals. Therefore, laws are set up from people¡¦s mind. When most of the people are being threatened by some others for these fewer ignore others and only care about their own profits, people set up rules. Being limited and restricted by laws, people are affected by laws in their behavior, and also, in their mind. Ever since a baby comes up to the world, he/she is told what is good or bad, what is allowed or restricted. When we are told that what can and what can¡¦t do, we are imposed of some kind of education. This is the education from law, while the law is set up from our heart and mind. Therefore, we are actually educated by our heart and mind. The most precious part of laws in human society is its flexibility. Most modern and democratic countries have theirs legislation systems. These legislation systems serve as means for people to express what they want for the society. Under debate and discussion, people try to make laws that can most suit for the present social and political conditions. Therefore, laws are always adapting, to find the most appropriate position to protect people. Laws reflect the present people¡¦s desire and also give protection to people. We are affected by laws and also making ourselves¡¦ laws. This is like gravitation force between two objects; each gives and also receives force from the other. Good laws remain, with their spirit, even though they may change their appearance sometimes, while bad laws diminish. This is how our society progress.
