20. Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and

assignment below: (2005.11)

Assignment: Has the acquisition of money and possessions replaced more

meaningful ways of measuring our achievements? Plan and write an essay in which

you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with

reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or

observations.

引文: What explains our increasing obsession with money and the things it can

buy? It seems as though the acquisition of money is gradually replacing real

measures of success, such as integrity, honesty, skill, and hard work.

Adapted from Alan Durning, “Limiting Consumption: Toward a Sustainable

Culture”

引文: Conflict is not necessarily bad, and it does not necessarily indicate a

failed interaction. It is a signal, a message that says, "Things aren’t working

around here. We’ve got to do something different." Thus, conflict can be a

catalyst-a motivating force-encouraging people to interact and communicate in

ways that are more satisfying. Conflict can actually benefit people by pushing

them to make necessary changes.

Adapted from Beverly Potter, From Conflict to Cooperation

引文: There are situations where flattery is mandatory: The bride is always

beautiful. If we look at someone’s artwork, we are obliged to say something

complimentary to the artist. If we visit someone with a new baby, we are

required to say the infant is cute. In such situations, to say nothing is

interpreted as rudeness. We compliment each other because we understand that

flattery makes life run smoothly.

Adapted from Richard Stengel, You’re Too Kind: A brief History of

Flattery

引文: Beauty is not a quality in people or in objects themselves. It exists in

the mind that perceives those objects, and each mind perceives beauty

differently. To seek real beauty, in some absolute sense, is pointless. Where

one person sees beauty, another may even see the opposite. For this reason, we

all ought to accept our own perceptions of who or what is beautiful, and not be

influenced by the perceptions of others.

Adapted from David Hume, “Of the Standard of Taste”
