本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE12"People's attitudes are determined more by their immediate situation or surroundings than by any internal characteristic"。题目的实质是比较人的社会大环境和所处的小环境对人们态度的影响。实际上,人们的态度会同时受到大环境和小环境的影响,这里需要比较哪种影响更大,并阐述理由。需要提醒的是,题目所说的“immediate situation or surroundings”是指目前的状况和环境,它们不一定是长期存在的。

作文
Which is more critical to determine people? attitudes:their immediate situation and environment,or society as a whole?The speaker favors the former one.However,in my view,the speaker? claim is incomplete,overlooking the significance of society.And a man? attitude and behavior are in a process of continual process involved both immediate surroundings and society as a whole.

We certainly cannot underestimate the influence of some individuals and the close surroundings upon the formation of a person? world outlook and personal values.First,the society ,however,key a role it plays in shaping a person?  social attitudes,are surely composed of concrete components,for example,family,friends,teachers,celebrities and so on.Second,in his/her 20s---widely agreed a critical period for minting one? social identity and temperaments---he/her most probably tends to follow the footprints of those immediately around him/her for his/her own track.In his young days,the society may too large and blurring to be of any real significance in developing his social values.

On the other hand,however,humans are after all products of their environment.Any character of personality is ,if traced down to its terminus,simply a projection against the backdrop of society.There is no objection that any child grows up under the influence,direct or indirect,of his/her family,friend,teachers or certain celebrities,but all these people themselves are also products of a concrete society.Such a situation can be likened to vegetation and animals living on an island.Superficially,these vegetation and animals seem to live by the ecological system of the island.But the island ecological surroundings are,after all,a component of the bigger ecological sphere of the ocean embracing the island.A reasonable conclusion is that the vegetation and animals on the island are actually nurtured somehow by the ecological system of the ocean.

Moreover,although a young man develops his world outlook and personal values mainly during his 20s,such development is by no means a one-off action.His world outlook and value system may take shape in his puberty,but mature up in his adulthood,and finally ripen after his middle age as he reads broader,experience more and reflect deeper along the way.Therefore,it is safe to say that the older we become,the closer we are to the society as a whole than to any immediate situation or surroundings.

So,we can see that a man? attitude and behavior are in a process of continual changes.In his/her childhood and puberty,he learns from and within his relatively small world comprised of family,friends and school.But in his adulthood,particularly in his middle age and later years,he will surely merge with and sail along the river of the bigger,complex,sometimes annoying but unavoidable society.

In sum,immediate situation or surrounding plays a vital role in shaping people? attitude and behavior in his/her childhood and puberty.However,a man? attitude and behavior are in a process of continual changes in which immediate environment and society play a vital role in minting his attitude and behavior in different phases respectively.
