Significant advancements in our knowledge of the solar system and the universe require increasingly keen tools for observation and measurement. Telescope technology and the measurement of celestial distances, masses, volumes, and so forth, are the domain of astrophysicists. These advances also require increasingly sophisticated means of exploration. Manned and unmanned exploratory probes are designed by mechanical, electrical, and puter engineers. And to build and enable these technologies requires the acumen and savvy of business leaders, managers, and politicians. Even diplomats might play a roleinsofar as major space projects require international cooperative efforts among the world39。 disagr ement can cause str ess and inhibit lear ni g.

First of all, by providing all children with fundamental skills and knowledge, a mon core curriculum would help ensure that our children grow up to bee reasonably informed, productive members of society. In addition, a mon core curriculum would provide a predictable foundation upon which college administrators and faculty could more easily build curricula and select course materials for freshmen that are neither below nor above their level of educational experience. Finally, a core curriculum would ensure that all schoolchildren are taught core values upon which any democratic society depends to thrive, and even survivevalues such as tolerance of others with different viewpoints, and respect for others. 2. 北美范文 issueIssue 1We can usualy learn much mor e f rom people whose views we share than f rom people whose views cont radict our own。 disagrement can cause st ress and inhibit lear ni g.

Admittedly, laws requiring parents to ensure that their children receive an education that meets certain minimum standards are well justified, for the reasons mentioned earlier. However, when such standards are imposed by the state rather than at the munity level, parents are left with far less power to participate meaningfully in the decisionmaking process. This problem would only be exacerbated were these decisions left exclusively to federal regulators. 2. 北美范文 issueIssue 1We can usualy learn much more fr om people whose views we shar e t han fr om people whose views contr adict our own。s subjective state of mind, impressions, or reflections of an event or experience. Indeed, to the extent that personal interpretation adds dimension and richness to the record, written documentation is actually more important than video. Finally, a video record is of no use in documenting statistical or other quantitative information. Returning to the riot example mentioned earlier, imagine relying on a video to document the financial loss to store owners, the number of police and firefighters involved, and so forth. Complete and accurate video documentation of such information would require video cameras at every street corner and in every aisle of every store. 2. 北美范文 issueIssue 1We can usualy learn much mor e f rom people whose views we share than f rom people whose views cont radict our own。 disagrement can cause st ress and inhibit learni g.

In the game of politics, plete forthrightness is a sign of vulnerability and naivety, neither of which earns a politician respect among his or her opponents, and which those opponents will use to every advantage to defeat the politician. In my observation some measure of pandering to the electorate is necessary to gain and maintain political leadership. For example, were all politicians to fully disclose every personal foible, character flaw, and detail concerning personal life, few honest politicians would ever by elected. While this view might seem cynical, personal scandals have in fact proven the undoing of many a political career。s motives and agenda. History informs us that wouldbe leaders who lack such forthrightness are the same ones who seize and maintain power either by brute force or by demagoguerythat is, by deceiving and manipulating the citizenry. Paragons such as Genghis Khan and Hitler, respectively, e immediately to mind. Any democratic society should of course abhor demagoguery, which operates against the democratic principle of government by the people. Cons
