Some people believe that in order to thrive, a society must put its own overall success before the well-being of its individual citizens. Others believe that the well-being of a society can only be measured by the general welfare of all its people.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
五問:
(1)一個社會由哪些部分組成?個體能否簡單地代替整體?除去每一個個體之外,社會還有哪些東西存在?例如:個體與個體之間的關系,個體與整體之間的關系,行為規(guī)范、社會制度等。
(2)對于一個個體來說,其生存的目標是什么?是物質、精神的富足嗎?還是其他?對于社會這個整體來說呢?是不斷地發(fā)展嗎?整體的繁榮與個體的繁榮之間存在什么樣的關系?
(3)你能舉出一個具體的案例來說明個體的繁榮并不意味著社會整體的繁榮嗎?例如:個體繁榮了,相應的制度規(guī)范未必健全,配套的設施未必跟得上。
(4)你能舉出一個具體的案例來說明社會整體的繁榮并不意味著個體的繁榮嗎?例如:平均工資意味著每個人都達到了相應的水準嗎?進入小康社會能說明每個人都步入小康生活了嗎?
(5)政府管理整個社會其權力來自公民的授權,這種“委托 –代理”機制之下,委托人與代理人的目標是一致的嗎?如果不一致,請你說說哪里不一致?為什么不一致?這種不一致是合理的嗎?
