Should we elect young people as the leaders of organizations? There is a widespread concern over the issue whether young people should be elected as the leaders of organizations. People who are rooting for the young think that the young generation is essential for organizations to keep innovative and productive. However, their views are against by others, whose opinion is that the old have rich experience and global views which young people generally lack. I endorse the former, and believe that young people can take place of the old to be the leaders of organizations. Above all, sooner or later , the young will take over the running of an organization. If we cut them off from the leadership, for fear that they might be devoid of the competence in managing a company, we actually curb the development of society. An organization, which embraces young people and encourages them to strive for leadership, will lead to far greater strides. Therefore, when we pass the throne to the young generation, we, in fact, pass brighter possibilities on to them. Not only should we give young people the opportunity of being leaders, but we should believe that their qualities can do their credits. Among all the edges that the young have, creativity, out of question, stands out. Old leaders win their reputations for calmness and long-term vision; however, it cannot be denied that they are overshadowed by the young in terms of creativity. With this calibre, those active and creative heads will live up to our expectations. To conclude, young people should be elected as the leaders of organizations. They have not only the responsibility but the ability to take up this post.

Effects of the Internet The Internet, one of the greatest inventions in the long river of human history, has changed the world in an amazing tempo. People sing high praise of the development of the Internet, while the notes of discord also surface-- the Internet imposes threatens to the world, owing to the damages it has caused to our lives. The threatens might exist; however, in the long term, benefits streaming out from the Internet will prevail. Above all, the Internet, acting as an invisible bridge, connects people from all over the world. It is unbelievable for our ancestors that the people in the America can have a communication with those in China through the Internet in a flash, and that Chinese are able to splash out in the American online shops by only moving their fingers and clicking the mouse. The Internet shortens the distance among people and turns the seemingly divided world into a closely-connected village. Next, the Internet is a huge store with a sea of information inside. It is very convenient for people in different spheres to search professional knowledge on the Internet. Besides, news around the world will be displayed on the Internet every day, authentic and inclusive. The catch-up of current events through the Internet is as easy as pie. Last but not least, there are thousands of ways of entertainments on the Internet-- from watching TV series and listening to music to shopping online and playing games. The light of the Internet shines through dark clouds, and all of a sudden, the world is blazing with colour. The negative effects, such as false information which misleads people, scams online that are uneasy to curb, do not originate from the Internet itself. It is the offenders that take advantage of the Internet and cast a shadow on it. All in all, the overall effect of the Internet is positive in spite of negative effects occur in parallel with it.

Anti-tradition

Some people sing high praise for the anti-traditional things, others are strongly against those abnormal things. What’s your opinion?

 

In my opinion, it depends on whether these anti-traditional things are good for human beings or not. As the time is different and human society is developing, traditional things may not fit into modern society. Therefore, we can neither disapprove any anti-traditional things nor approve them in a blind way.

sympathy and empathy Hey, every! What are the differences between "sympathy" and "empathy"?
