政治家(政客)应该追求在相互了解基础之上的共同点和理性的一致性,而不是难以说清的理念。[说明:写一篇文章,讨论你同意或反对这个建议达到什么程度,并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时,你要描述在具体的环境中,采纳这个建议可能会有什么好处,或不会有什么好处,并解释这些例子如何体现了你的观点]
指导
本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE195"The goal of politics should not be the pursuit of an ideal, but rather the search for common ground and reasonable consensus"。题目讨论政治家目标的问题,认为政治目标应当是寻求共同点和合理共识,而不是难以说清的理念。在分析的过程中,可以从政治家的职责和各种需求,单一理想和合理共识对政治家以及其相关内容的正负面作用等方面展开思考。对于此题这种对比型的题目,需要注意不应该孤立得去说三者各自的利弊,而是应当将三者放在一起通过对比、类比等方法将差异展现出来,这样才能说明哪个更应当是政治的目的。

Should politicians pursue common ground and reasonable consensus or elusice ideals. It is a goal of politics to searching for common ground and reasonable consensus. However, the pursuit of an ideal is also the goal of the politicians. And most of the time these two issues are not mutually exclusive.The goal for the politics of a nation is to ensure that the nation runs with a minium of contention an develops in a farvorable direction. To achieve it, the politicians need rule out the needs of the majority of its people and search for common ground and reasonble consensus. If needs and willings are frequently ignored, the citizen will resist and make the policies break away practical significance. Futher it does harm to the foreign affairs, since common ground and resonable consensus are the foundation for people, with different culture to communicate, to cooperate and to make contribution of human. North Keroa is a good count example.Regardless the appearing for peace and harmony, North Keroa is stubborn research of the nuclear weapons. Thus suffered isolated and heavily criticized from the out world, which is do harm to the development of the country. What's worse, not well communicating with other countries in the oversee, and not establish the democratic mechanism in the domestic, it is not hard to imagin how abject and poor lives of its people.However, the ideas of one segment of the public, no matter how vocal, sometimes does harm to the whole nation as well as themselves as a result of their limited knowledge and viewpoint. Therefore, it is politicians who must remain clear-headed facing the need to make right choicews. Before the China's reform and opening up , most people, including the majority of the government officals take it for granted that we should advocate public ownership, and restraict to private ownership, and carryed out planed economy policy. Sounded ridiculous today, but it did exist, even prevail during that period, and it isTeng Hsiao-ping,without him we may still take the stupid view for granted, who reverised the situation. He brought up the reform and opening up policy and market economy, from then on, the economy, the qualiality lives of people, the national defence and diplomacy of our country has been dramatically enhanced.Most of the time, reasonabkle sonsensus and a political ideal need not be mutually exculsive. Such as an ideal of peace, the desire for a more safe and harmony world, and the pursue for progress. For this similarity, the goal of politics is also the reasonable consensus. Each field need theory to conserve its elite and guild the practice, and every theory need continual refine and innovation, such it is inadvisable to advise a poliotic to stop chasing elusive ideals, which may be necessary for the evelopment of politics. For example, the reform and opening up of China, not only increase the speed development of economy and people's lives, it also brought about theory innovation, socialism with Chinese characteristics. Its essence is that we should consider the reality when make any policy and what have been successful practised in capitalist countries can and should be learned from.In sum, I do disagee with the statment that politicians should pursue common ground and reasonable consensus rather than elusice ideals. Considering the goal of politics and the limited version of the majority of people, and the necessary of ecusive ideads for development of politics, I suggest a comprehensive consideration. Futher, these tow aspects are not exculive most time, so taking exreme attitute is not a smart politician will do.
