  On the other hand, it is also true that advances in modern science and technology have also opend up serious moral and ethical dilemmas. An example that illustrates how technology created new dilemmmas is cloning technology. In particular, many have spoken with caution regarding the possibility of applying this technology to clone human beings. This technology has led to a whole series of questions that were unthinkable prior to its development. For example, should it ever be permitted to clone a human being? If so, under what circumstances should it be permitted? What kinds of problems does this technology pose for the concept of personal identity? The seriousness of these questions is not only clear from the number of journal and newspaper articles that have devoted attention to this issue, but from debates at the government level in various countries regarding what kind legislation should be passed to deal with the possibilities opend up by cloning technology.

  The speed with which scientific and technological advances in medicine take place is so rapid that hardly a day passes without news of some new discovery or treatment. Announcements of medical advances, however, are often greeted with two very different reactions. Some highlight each advances as yet another benefit conferred upon humanity through modern medicine, but others views each advances as opening up new moral and ethical problems. On the one hand, it is true that advances in medical science and technology have yielded many benefits, especially in the area of health. In particular, these advances have enabled many indivisuals to lead longer and healthier lives. this is supported by statistics that indicate that average life expectancy has risen in most parts of the world. Statistics also indicate that infant mortality rates have fallen in most parts of the world as well. In addition to these quantifiable results, advances in medicine have also improved the quality of life of many indivisuals by treating symptoms of various illnesses. In fact, various patient surveys indicate that many indivisuals with complicated illnesses are able, with the help of medicine, to lead lives similiar to the ones they led prior to their illness.

  Fukuyama argue that liberal democracies of the late twentieth century represent the culminating achievement of humanity's search to discover the best form of self-rule. To lend support to his view, Fukuyama notes that since the 1980's we have seen many liberal democracies arise from former communist or totalitarian government. Fukuyama notes that this trend is not acccidental but attests to the ability of liberal democracies to meet successfully the most fundamental yet long unsatisfied of human needs, the need for each indivisual to feel recognized as part of his/her own political system. In particular, he notes that liberal democracies distinguish themselves in that they meet this need in an unprecedented way. More sepecifically, unlike other forms of government, liberal democracies allow all of its indivisuals to express themselves by electing their own officials.To lend support to his viewFukuyama notesIn particularMore specifically

  The two lectures presented outlined opposing views on why Product B has not sold well in Foreign country C. The first lecturer contended that the main problem with the product's sales was due to the lack of advertising, but second lecturer disagreed. According to the second lecture, the real problem resided in tha fact the product was too expensive for the average consumer. (This essay will outline the positions of both of these lecturers.)

  City A is often viewed among the most unsafe cities in the world today. Recent data, however, suggests that City A is not as unsafe as it is often assumed. Compared with other cities of its size, its violent crime rate is among the five lowest in the world. I argue that such evidence indicates that the perception that City A is unsafe must be revised.

  All sports come in two different types. Sports such as tennnis and archery are indivisual sports. In contrast, sports such as baseball and soccer are team sports. Some prefer the former type of sports, but others prefer the latter type of sports. I prefer the former because many of them can be played even when there are not enough indivisuals to play most team sports.

  Some people believe that the number of bullying incidents in school can be reduced if schools increase the number of counselors they have on staff. Recent statistical data on bullying from schools with a large number of counselors, however, suggest that it is questionable whether having a large number of counselors is sufficient to reduce the number of bullying incidents at school.

• Example 2-4

  Many indivisuals involeved in sports (fans, players, and coaches) believed that the best way to improve one's skills in a sport is practice constantly. For example, it is not uncommon for coaches to stress that the key to improve one's skills is to practice everyday. Those who hold this view are essentialy endorsing the often heard "practice makes perfect" approach to sports. A number of star professional sports players, however, note that such an approach does not accurately reflect their own experience because they claim that skills improved most when they alternated periods of intense practice with periods of rest.

• Example 2-3

  It is often said that most things cannnot learned merely by watching and observing. For example, there is the often used statement about swimming: "You cannot learn to swim if you never jump into the pool." I would argue that a similar truth holds for learning a language because the best way to learn a language is to practice using it.It is often sald that most things cannnot learned merely by watching and observing. For example, there is the often used statement about swimming: "You cannot learn to swim if you never jump into the pool." As a practicing art historian, however, I disagree with the supposed truth of this statement because most of the learning in art history takes place in observing works of arts.

  The computer has changed our lives in so many ways, but like every invention it has its positive aspects and its negative aspects. Both of these aspects are also present in the use of computers in high school education. Although many people stress the positive aspects of computers in high school education, my own research and experience have uncovered a number of important negative aspects related to the overuse of comuters in high school education.

• Example 2-1

  There are many differnt theories regading what motivates human beings to act in the way that they do. On the one hand, there are those who argue that all human actions are motivated by selfisness. On the other hand, there are also those who contest such a view. I agree with the former position because it is supported by evidence from biology and psychology.

• Sample Answer 1

  The written text and the lecture by a lecture deal with three ways computer have affected high school education. Both focus on the computational power of computers, the visualization capabilities of computers, and the value of teaching computer skills. The text stresses the positive effects of computers, but the professor stresses the negative effects.The text and lecture conflict over benefits of the computational power of computer. The former contends that computers are beneficial because they allow students to make large calculations in a short amount of time. The latter, however, notes that students who always use a computer to carry out their calsulations fail to develop the ability to carry out estimates in their head.Moreover, the two disagree on whether visualizing information has improved high school education. Text stresses that computers are beneficial because they allow students to present information graphically. The lecture contests this merit by noting that if information is always presented graphically, students fail to develop the ability to follow spoken and written arguments.Finally, the two also disagree on the value of teaching computer skills as part of preparation for the students' lives after graduation. According to the text, teaching computer skills is important because computers are used widely in the university and the workplace. Accoding to the lecture, however, skills such as reading, writing, and calculating are more important than computer skills.

• Broken Englishから始めよう

  さてさて、英語をやらなければ。しかし自分の英語レベルは日本国民の平均以下であることをはっきりと悟った。さりとて自分は一時の恥を恥ずかしいと思わない。ぼくはちょうど、英国民の三歳くらいの英語。だからbrokenでいいんだ。みんなはじめはbrokenをしゃべりまくり、書きまくることで脳味噌の中に回路を作っていった。ぼくが三歳のとき日本語を覚えたのと同じように。日本語が正確に書けるように、しゃべれるようになったのはつい最近のことだ。思うようにしゃべったり、書くことは日本語だってままならないじゃないか。だから、brokenを怖れてしゃべらない、書かない方がよっぽどだめなことなんだ。まず、本を書き写して書いてるのはやめにする。写す時も、一度読んでインプットし、それからそれを思い出すに「自分自身の自由意志」にまかせて書くことにする。辞書も書く時は滅多にひかない。なぜって、本当に使う時は、辞書は使えないのが言語だからだ。いまある言葉で話すのが言語だ。mamaしか知らなかったら、それで何かを語るんだ。他人の文章は「Learning English」におさめる。そして自分の心から直接発せられた言葉達は「My Thought」におさめることにする。I hate learning English, but I love English.I hate Japanese, but I love using Japanese.文法ミス、スペルミスは当たり前。むしろそれを爆発させてやる。いまはそれを直そうなんて高尚な段階じゃないからだ。もっと低次のレベルの積み重ねが必要なんだ。もしかしたら日本の英語教育は、文法ミスに注意することばっかりに気を遣ってるから、ズバズバ間違いを犯すことをはばからない、他の国の人々より英語がうまくならないんじゃないかな？なんてね。There is no such a thing like the perfect form of English language, you know?
