观点类 – 社会话题

Nowadays celebrities are more known for their glamour and wealth than for their achievement, and this sets a bad example to young people. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

题目大意：

名人更多以其知名度和财富为人所知，这对下一代产生负面影响。同意反对？

思路：

同意反对类的题目，都是请你就一个主观的结论表态，而多数主观的思维都或多或少会有逻辑谬误，所以这类题型，都是建议选择反对的立场比较合理

要推翻这个观点，首先要对其之所以出现的前提予以分析，随后再从完整的因果逻辑中寻找错误，可以有不同的反驳思路：

从前提角度反驳：推翻对方的前提，从而推翻结论；

如果题目的前提和结论都找不出破绽，也可以从题目的因果逻辑结构入手，即前提和结论之间没有必然联系；

在内容层面，要注意2个关键词，glamour and wealth，a bad example，题目的逻辑就是将名人的glamour and wealth的新闻，等于负面影响，其错误在于给出的信息不足，导致前提和结果的逻辑关系不成立，忽略了其他会影响结果的因素，如个人的价值观。

提纲梳理如下：

这篇范文我是选择第三种方案，推翻题目因果之间的逻辑必然性

范文：

Today, celebrities are more reported for their material worth rather than their contributions to the world; this phenomenon is considered a negative impact on younger generations. In my opinion, however, I would say it is simplistic to negate any social issues without scrutinizing the complex context where the discussion takes place.

There seems to be reasons why the fascination for celebrities’ social status has been frowned upon by some educationalists. It is true than young minds are susceptible to what is publicized of their idols, whether these be their spending on art collections, luxurious goods, or participation in charitable events; unfortunately, the majority of coverages are focusing on their glamour and wealth. That leads to the apprehension that adolescents exposed to such an environment may opt to idolize such role models and therefore to judge one’s value by their material possession.

While the problems mentioned above do contribute to the materialism among the youth, I will say it is simplified to dismiss the justification of people’s focusing on celebrities’ socioeconomic aspect. The advocates of the claim in the topic are oblivious to the fact that the implications of a social phenomenon are not a binary result derived from an either-or logic; rather, its ramifications are subject to various determining factors, such as the moral convictions or social consciousness of individuals. For example, for youngsters with a strong sense of social responsibility, the same stories of fame and wealth may stimulate their ambitions to pursue career success with an aspiration to be a more contributive social member.

In conclusion, it is illogical to dismiss the justification of people’ concern for celebrities’ socioeconomic status while ignoring other determinants relevant to the discussion.
