问答题While most studies look at inequality of outcomes among adults and help us understand how America is coming apart, Putnam"s group looked at inequality of opportunities among children. They help us understand what the country will look like in the decades ahead. The quick answer? More divided than ever. 1 Putnam"s data verifies what many of us have seen anecdotally, that the children of the more affluent and less affluent are raised in apparently different ways and have different opportunities. Decades ago, college-graduate parents and high-school-graduate parents invested similarly in their children. Recently, more affluent parents have invested much more in their children"s futures while less affluent parents have not. They"ve invested more time. Over the past decades, college-educated parents have quadrupled the amount of time they spend reading "Goodnight Moon," talking to their kids about their day and cheering them on from the sidelines. High-school-educated parents have increased child-care time, but only slightly. Affluent parents also invest more money in their children. 2 Over the last 40 years upper-income parents have increased the amount they spend on their kids" enrichment activities by $ 5,300 a year, while the financially stressed lower classes by only $ 480, adjusted for inflation. As a result, behavior gaps are opening up. In 1972, kids from the bottom quartile of earners participated in roughly the same number of activities as kids from the top quartile. Today, it"s a chasm. Richer kids are roughly twice as likely to play after-school sports. It"s not only that richer kids have become more active. Poorer kids have become more pessimistic and detached. 3 Social trust has fallen among all income groups, but, between 1975 and 1995, it plummeted among the poorest third of young Americans and has remained low ever since. As Putnam writes in notes prepared for the Aspen Ideas Festival: 4 "It"s perfectly understandable that kids from working-class backgrounds have become cynical and even suspicious, for virtually all our major social institutions have failed them—family, friends, church, school and community." As a result, poorer kids are less likely to participate in voluntary service work that might give them a sense of purpose and responsibility. Their test scores are lagging. Their opportunities are more limited. Equal opportunity, once core to the nation"s identity, is now a tertiary concern. 5 If America really wants to change that, if the country wants to take advantage of all its human capital rather than just the most privileged two-thirds of it, then people are going to have to make some pretty uncomfortable decisions.

问答题I was visiting New York last week and noticed something I'd never thought I'd say about the city. Yes, nightlife is pretty much dead (and I'm in no way the first to notice that). But day life was also a little different. It was quieter. As I looked across the throngs on the pavements, I began to see why. There were little white wires hanging down from their ears, or tucked into pockets, purses or jackets. The eyes were a little vacant. (81) Each was in his or her own musical world, walking to their soundtrack, stars in their own music video, almost oblivious to the world around them. These are the iPod people. Even without the white wires you can tell who they are. (82) They walk down the street in their own MP3 cocoon bumping into others, deaf to small social cues, shutting out anyone not in their bubble. (83) Every now and again some start unconsciously emitting strange tuneless squawks, like a badly tuned radio, and their fingers snap or their arms twitch to some strange soundless rhythm. When others say "Excuse me" there's no response. "Hi", ditto. It's strange to be among so many people and hear so little. Except that each one is hearing so much. Yes, I might as well own up. I'm one of them. I witnessed the glazed New York looks through my own glazed pupils, my white wires peeping out of my ears. I joined the cult a few years ago; the sect of the little white box worshippers. What was once an occasional musical diversion became a compulsive obsession? (84) And, like all addictive cults, it's spreading. Get on a subway and you're surrounded by a bunch of commuters staring into mid-space as if anaesthetized by technology. Don't ask, don't tell don't overhear don't observe. Just tune in and tune out. It wouldn't be so worrying if it weren't pint of something even bigger. Americans are beginning to narrow their live. (85) Technology has given us a universe for ourselves -- where the serendipity of meeting a new stranger, hearing a piece of music we would never choose for ourselves, an opinion that might force us to change our mind about something are all effectively banished. Society without the social, others who are chosen-- not met at random. Human beings have never lived this before.

问答题The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new achievements in art, literature, science, philosophy, education and religion. Although the foundation of many of these was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed, many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the classical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideas and attitudes that gave it the impress of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and individualism; but the most significant of them all was humanism.
