10、n China and Greece, but it is interesting on look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these in turn, shaped their societies.Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states we

11、re very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Soerates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus Soerates was able to be more idealistic, foc

12、using on issues like freedom and knowledge for its own sake, on the other hand, advised those in government service and many of his students went on to government service.Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life, “Do not others what you would not want others to do t

13、o you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had some potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socraes focused on individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their rea

14、son than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior(下层的)classes.For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more i

18、ation Modern inventions have speeded up peoples lives amazingly. Motor-cars cover a hundred miles in little more than an hour. Aircraft cross the world a day, while computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of speed seems never-ending. Every year motor-cars are produced which go even f

19、aster each new computer boasts（吹嘘）of saving precious seconds in handling tasks.All this saves time, but at a price. When we lose or gain half a day in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag; our bodies feel that they have be

20、en left behind in another time zones Again spending too long at computers results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers according to some scientists; too much use may transmit harmful radiation into our brains, a consequence we do not like to think about.However, what

21、do we do with the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so accustomed to constant activity that we find it difficult to sit and do nothing, or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen quietly to a story on the radio, letting imagina

22、tion take us into another world.There was a time when some peoples lives were devoted simply to the cultivation of the land or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like

51、 you soon. Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of
