1、题目大意
个人和个别国家不可能帮助世界上所有需要帮助的人,所以我们应该只关心自己的社区和国家。你在多大程度上同意或不同意?
2、思路解析
这是一道观点类大作文,讨论的是要不要只关注自己国家的问题。审题时注意绝对词“only”,一般遇到绝对化表达,持反对角度会更好切入。下面,月半鸭和大家一起来看下具体观点。
首先来看只关注自己社区和国家的合理性,可以分个人和国家。
对于一个国家或地区来说,关注自己居民的生活质量应该是优先考虑的事项之一。即使在发达国家,依然会有相对贫困的地区或人口,而政府财政收入本是来自于本国民众税收,理应先帮助他们过上更好的生活。而对于那些发展中国家,在资源更有限的情况下,忽视本国人民利益却帮助他国似乎也不合情理。
对于个人来说,其生活质量和所在的社区环境密切相关,相比世界上素不相识的人,和周围亲朋好友或邻居也关系更紧密。因此,优先考虑改善自己的生活环境及帮助更熟悉的本地人也是理所应当。
然后来看反对角度的观点,有两方面。
一是帮助他人能够提升一个人的成就感和幸福度。当一个社区本身发展已经高度完善时,个人已经很难在其中做出贡献。在有富有余力的情况下帮助世界上其他需要的人,可以给个人带来更高的生活幸福指数。
二是帮助他国本身可能会对改善本国居民生活质量有益。一个国家能够通过帮助另一个国家来换取国内所需要的资源,或是开拓新的国际市场来促进国际贸易,这些都会让本国人民受益,甚至可以让那些贫困人口提升收入摆脱贫困。
3、提纲
4、高分范文示例
Individuals and nations are hardly ever capable of helping everyone simultaneously across the world. Perhaps more so if people continue to experience home-based stress. However, given that we live in a globalising culture, I genuinely think we have a moral obligation to help people in need whenever we can.
Admittedly, priority should be given to issues concerning one's own country. Even in a developed nation, income disparities across regions can result in pockets of poverty, rendering it impossible to eradicate poverty despite ongoing attempts. For those in developing nations , reducing poverty becomes even more challenging for individuals. In this scenario, the utmost priority should be placed on one's own community and nation in order to ensure that the people can live healthy lives and the nation can progress.
However, this does not suggest that people have nothing to gain by contributing to the public interest. When societies have formed infrastructure and a secure quality of living, helping others can elevate a person's self-esteem and sense of fulfilment. Being kind is also one way to contribute to the advancement of the global community. On the one hand, certain nations have an abundance of resources, while resources may be rare in other nations, driving the residents of those nations to engage in trade in order to acquire the necessary products. Collaboration and interaction will ultimately lead to a resolution of the challenges being experienced by both parties. On the other hand, helping individuals in need promotes international ties, enhances the prestige of those who provide assistance, and wins a nation a reputation for being responsible and trustworthy.
In conclusion, I am of the opinion that individuals and nations alike share a responsibility to assist those who are in need and to work toward a common future for all people throughout the world.
