ISSUE 1:
Some people claim that you can tell whether a nation is great by looking at the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists. Others argue that the surest indicator of a great nation is, in fact, the general welfare of all its people.
Write a response in which you discuss which view more closely aligns with your own position and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should address both of the views presented.
ISSUE 2
Claim: Imagination is a more valuable asset than experience.
Reason: People who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible without the constraints of established habits and attitudes.

ISSUE 3
"There are two types of laws: just and unjust. Every individual in a society has a responsibility to obey just laws and, even more importantly, to disobey and resist unjust laws."
【翻译】
有两种法律：公正的和不公正的。每个社会成员都有责任遵守公正的法律，但是更重要的是，更应该不遵守和反抗不公正的法律。
【提纲】
1、我们应当自觉遵守维护法律秩序，特别是公正的法律，用以维护社会的秩序，这样一方面能够维护社会的秩序，例如交通法规，另一方面通过约束他人保障公民自己的权利
2、对于不公正的法律，我们更应该不遵守或者反抗以保证维护的正义，例如希特勒二战期间屠杀犹太人的法律
3、然而，在实际生活中，由于价值观的不同，我们很难正确辨别哪些法律是不公正的法律，如对于安乐死和死刑，不同国家法律有不同的规定
4、结论，在可辨认的前提下，我们要坚决遵守公正法律抵制不公正的法律
*公正和不公正的法律
一、Can we?不行。不同意，for reasons having to do with subjective definition of justice, the ideal form of laws, and the principle of legislation.
二、公正是不好说的Fairness, a subjective judgm ent, can never be the standard of a law because everyone has a distinctive measure.
1.每个人都有 value system ，priorities. 杀人犯, abortion
2.不可能 gratify每个人, emotional, radical, chaos
三、法律理想的状态
1.如果满足每个人，将不再满足抽象性。满足每个人 unilateral 意味着ruin the integrity 和practicality
2. 个人 judgment 不能带代表全部，尽管他 cries for justice
四、涉及到法律的原则性问题 bills are voted by the majority and after their pass, everyone is equal, which is the base of any democratic society.
1.法案是多数人通过的，且它通过以后，法律面前人人平等。这样使得人们德权利得到保护，不同于奴隶封建社会，权威想干什么就干什么
2.Resist 意味着赋予某人 privilege，破坏法律的平等性
3. erudite 的Socrates
