f.

the american young people in the 1960s belonged to a rebellious

generation. they saw that america, the affluent society was full of

poverty, inequality and hypocrisy.they didnt believe in this adult

world which did not belong to them, and refused to follow its beliefs and values. many young people took active part in the wars against poverty, against racial discrimination and against vietnam

war.some young people even attempted to overthrow the establishment by force.while many other young people expressed their disaffection in a passive way, and they. used drugs, lived a parasitic life without taking any responsibility

in society, or escaped to the unspoiled country to live a rather primitive communal life.

g.

the fourth choice for young people to make is to try to change the world gradually,one clod at a time.i agree with the author that this alternative lacks attraction at first glance. it promises no

quick results and has to rely on the annoying and uncertain persuasion from agents and democratic decision making. it requires patience, which people are always short of.but in a particular time and place it does work. it is more likely to overcome some of the social problems than any other available choice.as we know, one has to lead a rather undignified life,if he makes the choice to drop out to live a parasitic life.its no longer practical if one chooses to

flee and to have a more primitive way of life.and those in favor of

armed revolution are destined to feel disappointed whether they succeed or not. since revolution can not eventually bring forth a bright future they dreamed of. what i disagree with the author is that in a particular time and place — only an armed revolution can

work which has been evidenced by the may-forth movement against the feudal system in the 1920s. and its also evidenced by the anti-- japanese war in the 1940s.

the highly competitive market. to be a salesman, i can usually be

vigorous, friendly, generous and confident. travelling will be

part of my job as a salesman which allows me to meet people of

different culture, different personalities. and travelling also

enables me to see the world. another reason i like to be a

salesman is that i can have a feeling of being proud and

important, since a company exists to sell. all the work done by others is only a pavement of a road for me to walk upon.

furthermore, it will bring me great pleasure if i can keep a

friendly relationship and good cooperation with the previous customers, and bring in new ones. this will be of much benefit both to the company and to myself.

1． dose the author think omnigamy has harms or benefits? what are they?

harmful effects obviously outweigh benefits in omnigamy. a few pieces of evidence are mentioned in the essay:

a creating confusion in relationship

b it is a personal plight

c children face overwhelmingly extensive attentiveness in all relationships ,who may fin

d it easy to accept when young but hard to avoid when they becom

e adults, they may lose role models in life. d. bad examples for the young

e grandparents suffer too, their tie to young children are broken ,or have to be mediated by strangers.

the only benefit :personal freedom in picking a spouse.

2． consider the sentence: many people are married to people who have been married to other people who are now married to still others to whom the first parties may not have been married, but to whom

somebody has likely been married. why does the author suddenly use such a long and complicated structure? what is the intended purpose? tiger is being ironical. the long, complicated and even confusing structure helps to create a linguistic imagery that the newly emerging marriage practice is too fast, too confusing and too ueasonable.

3.do you think plumb would agree with tiger that society is evolving toward omnigany? why or why not?

plumb would agree that the conventional marriage pattern is changed as dictated by changes by changes in society. he views the change as necessary as human civilization progresses. but he probably would not agree with tiger that the change does more harm that good to human society.

4. explain clark‘s argument that the twentieth century was the “last century that families of more that two children will be tolerated” in the light of tiger‘s argument that american society is turning into omnigamy . what would be the moral or legal issues for omnigamy?

it seems understandable that new century would not tolerate families with more than two children if we consider the changing patterns of marriage. when people are involved in frequent cycles of marriage

and remarriage, it would be hard for them to bring many children around. and they may get lost before they know whose children they are if each family has about 4 or 5 youngsters. besides , the rapid cycles of marriage and remarriage would not allow a couple to have many children.
