WritingAnti-Piracy CampaignIn recent years, it is quite common to find some pirated goods inChinese markets, such as pirated books, pirated discs and so on. Thepiracy activities are so prevalent and harmful that a nationwide anti-piracycampaign has been in full swing under the directions of the governmentagencies and departments concerned.The reasons for the piracy prevalence may be the following: one, thepublic is not well-informed of the function and benefits of the intellectualproperty and copyright laws, so their consciousness of enforcing these lawsis not profound. A lot of customers, including some of the highly educated,tend to buy pirated goods because of their much lower prices. Another isthat the intellectual property and copyright laws are not fully implementedin reality and the punishment for pirates is not severe enough. The piracyactivities have so seriously damaged the profits of the creators and thepublishers that prompt and effective measures have to be taken to crackdown on piracy.In my opinion, winning the war against piracy depends mainly on thejoint efforts of both the government and the public. First, the government10should further enforce the related laws and punish the pirates moreseverely. Second, the public consciousness of these laws should beenhanced to help them take correct attitude towards pirated materials. Andthird, the creators and publishers should become more sensitive abouttheir intellectual property and copyrights, and try to take self-defensemeasures to protect themselves. With all these efforts and measures, wecan surely eliminate piracy.EuthanasiaMercy KillingReasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard tofind. People everywhere in the world are living longer so that lingeringchronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause ofdeath. This has not only brought great agony to the old people and theirrelatives but also resulted in a lot of social problems. Those who are for“mercy killing” argue that every human being should have the right to diewith dignity. Most advocates of voluntary euthanasia contend that the rightshould be accorded only to the terminally and incurably ill. However, somepeople believe active euthanasia is a criminal act and so does aiding asuicide. They take such acts as “a case of barbarism” unworthy of ourcivilization.I think “mercy killing” is different from murdering both legally andmorally. We do not impose death on anyone but seek the individuals rightto determine when and how to die. Anyway, people live in the world inorder to enjoy themselves and make others happy. So when ones livingbecomes a burden to others as well as to himself, living loses its meaning.Whats wrong with him if the terminally ill wants to relieve himselffrom its endless pain and sorrow and be more considerate of his closerelatives?Saving Our FarmlandChinas arable land is only 10% of its total land mass, and it has beenshrinking by hundreds of thousands of hectares every year. Increasingindustrial construction, more townships being developed, new houses forfarmers being built, and more cemeteries have all contributed to the crisiswe now face.The great increase in the population has only worsened the problem.We cannot live without food. With the continuing decline in availablefarmland, it will be more and more difficult to produce enough food forour growing population. This development is a direct threat to our nations economic strength.Therefore, the land law should be strictly enforced. We must bedetermined to save every inch of farmland, plant more trees to preventfurther erosion, build more dams to implement flood control, and takeall necessary steps to solve this problem. Our land is our most preciousresource. We must save it.The Dislike for Original, Creative Men in Our SocietyIn our new society there is a growing dislike of original，creativemen. The manipulated do not understand them；the manipulators fearthem. The tidy committee men regard them with horror, knowing thatno pigeonholes can be found for them. We could do with a few original,creative men in our political lifeif only to create some enthusiasm,release some energybut where are they? We are asked to choose betweenvarious shades of the negative. The engine is falling to pieces while thejoint owners of the car argue whether the footbrake or the handbrakeshould be applied. Notice how the cold, colorless men, without ideasand with no other passion but a craving for success, get on in this society,capturing one plum after another and taking the juice and taste out ofthem. Sometimes you might think the machines we worship make all thechief appointments, promoting the human beings who seem closest tothem. Between midnight and dawn, when sleep will not come and all theold wounds begin to ache, I often have a nightmare vision of a future worldin which there are billions of people, all numbered and registered, withnot a gleam of genius anywhere, not an original mind, a rich personality,on the whole packed globe. The twin ideals of our time, organization andquantity, will have won for ever.Future ShockWe all know the term culture shock，which denotes the psychological problems suffered by people who move
