大家好!我說過,只要有難度的作文,我會站出來幫大家的.現看到那么多人遭遇"黑色情人", 我就來啦!

2月14日的考題為:Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do u agree or disagree with the above opinion?

這道題的難點在于對the old traditions of family and community 的認識。在中國有一種四代同堂的tradition----人很多，對長者必須絕對地respect or even obey.家有“家規(guī)”，管教特多，最長者(male)最有威信，不是憑能力來定地位，而是由年齡來決定。多大程度上同意或不同意這種題應該說是比較靈活的，下面為其中的一種寫作思路給大家參考：

贊成traditions of family and community對付greed n selfishness有招，因為四代同堂，老大掌門，互助友愛，共產同樂，無“私”可撈，無利可貪。

However,“舊社會”不能給我們帶來更好的生活。我想舉個例來說明。在我山區(qū)老家，到如今還有個傳統(在考試中就說是old tradition就行了)：婦女不能與男人同桌而食，只能吃leftovers. ***ual discrimination（性別歧視） 絕對傳統。

In China, a traditional concept of family called four generations living together has been handed down for thousands of years. In old times, the eldest man usually dominated others without any challenge amid the overpopulated home. In comparison with modern society, such a place should be an effective habitat to keep greed and selfishness ,which is considered as born nature of humans, away as a consequence of helping each other and sharing property between family members under the supervision  of the most influential man.

However, over a thousand-year period those female members suffered extremely tough circumstances of ***ual discrimination: they were in charge of childcare, household chores, farming--topsoil clearing and planting, you name it. What’s worse, they weren’t allowed to dine with men at the same table---leftovers filled up their bellies. Conversely, in contemporary society, a growing number of females are fighting for more human rights, say, equality to males, and they are gaining ground! How to convince the "fierce female tigers" these traditions are their better destiny? No way!!!

A better life can never be expected by only eliminating greed and selfishness; whereas it ought to be defined along with the following qualities: privacy respected, individual development, no ***ual discrimination and a fair community with equal opportunities. In addition to my viewpoint, an appropriate way of education would probably a sensible solution to minimize   the goddamn greed and selfishness in modern society instead of returning to the old society.
