挑战权威是SAT写作中的常见话题,本文为大家列举了4个此话题可以用到的事例。考生在使用事例的时候要注意不可全篇套用,一定要是事例的叙述突出与论点相关的要素。
挑战权威 是SAT写作中的常见话题,关于这个话题有哪些素材事例可以使用呢?本文将介绍美国历史上的进步时代、民权运动、哥白尼日心说和1992年洛杉矶骚乱。
Theme: Challenge authority
Thesis: Question authority makes a society stronger.
Example 1: Progressive Era
Detail: The Progressive era is a time during which from president to muckrakers, all aspects of American society paid numerous effort to improve the way people live. President Theodore Roosevelt, who believed in equal opportunity and adherence to the spirit of law, ordered his Attorney General to bring suits against the growing monopolies which exercised enormous control both in economy and in political sphere. Muckrakers are journalists who expose a variety of problems in the society to the public, such as Upton Sinclair, who wrote about the unsanitary conditions in the meatpacking industry and eventually led to the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act, and Ida Tarbell, who exposed a variety of methods used by Standard Oil company to achieve a monopoly. Thus their works more or less make some sweeping changes in the society.
Example 2: Civil Rights Movement
Detail: Another example comes from the Civil Rights Movement which set the stage for the progress and turmoil of the 1960s. At that time, despite the American creed of equality for all, segregation was prevalent in the South. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka questioned the Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Fergusor that the doctrine of separate but equal has no place, and the successful overruling of this decision encouraged civil rights workers to press for equality and freedom.
Example 3: Copernicus s heliocentric theory1992 LA riots
Detail: Copernicus s heliocentric theory in the 16th century was a direct attack upon the accepted wisdom of the time, the geocentric view of the universe articulated by Aristotle. When Darwin first declared that the wide variety of animal species was due to a process of development over many millennia, he challenged the traditional Christian belief and outraged the religious fundamentalists.
Example 4: 1992 LA riots
Detail: Mass resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting, during which innocent people are hurt and their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrated this point. The authority that the rioters sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system, which acquitted police officers in the beating of Rodney King. The means of challenging amounted to flagrant disregard for criminal law on a mass-scale -- by ways of looting, arson, and even deadly assault. This violent challenge to authority resulted in a turning back of the clock with respect to racial tensions across America.
以上四个例子可以在与挑战权威相关的作文话题中使用。但是切忌一字不落地背下例子然后在作文中全篇套用,考生需要注意将例子和自己的论点相结合,在叙述中突出重点。
要想SAT得满分,作文必须上10。对于想上700分的同学,作文往往是大多数人的心头之痛。你有没有过这样的体验:语法基础不错,一写作文却肌无力?自己用的例子已经很高大上了,但是老师的反馈却始终是分析不深入、逻辑不严密、语言不生动、用词不高端?
