本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE212"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable"。题目讨论实现目标的途径方法合理性的问题,题目认为为了实现值得的目标,任何方式都是合理的。大多数人看到这种极端判断题目一般都会采用反对题目观点的思路,通过列举“通过任何方式”可能的危害和反例去来展开自己的论证;如果选择赞成题目观点,则需要论述这种判断的合理性,并且通过论点组织回避掉各种潜在的危害。对于ISSUE,文章观点没有对错好坏之分,论证清晰完整即可。需要注意的是题目涉及话题很抽象,所以要通过具体事例和分析将论证做好,切记不要在文章中只是喊口号说空话,要言之有物。
