从1901~1961年,诺贝尔文学奖几乎完全为欧美白人垄断;20世纪60年代以后亚、非、拉美作家居多数;90年代则完全没有欧美白人作家获奖。而60年代以后正是欧美科学技术突飞猛进的时代。这是否意味着科学技术的发展会使文学作品失去人文魅力?

I wonder how many people hold the same views now. The debate about changing Social Security is part of a larger question: What obligation, if any, do Americans feel toward fellow citizens who need help? Note, I didn't say "less fortunate", "disadvantaged", or some other term that might be construed as evidence I'm promoting my own brand of social engineering. I just want to know how much concern people have for what happens outside their own households.
Critics of government assistance programs often say they do more harm than good by creating a cycle of dependency for recipients and a gigantic bureaucracy that demoralizes the rest of society by taking money away from us and creating a welfare state of slackers.
The term I prefer to describe our current situation is "safety-net culture". It has lots of problems, but I also know what life was like before safety nets, because my dad gave me abundant testimony from his 1920s boyhood near San Francisco—it was no Norman Rockwell painting. His father worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, so they did have a house. But one neighbor lived in a tent on a vacant lot and another was known for owning only one pair of overalls, which his wife laundered in a tub on the stove on Saturdays while he sat by, wrapped in a blanket. My dad's family often ate boiled rice for breakfast. The beverage of choice was tea, but if that ran out they made "silver tea"—hot water with milk and sugar. Money for college wasn't in the family budget. My dad got his degree thanks to the GI Bill.
Decades of safety-net culture have removed a lot of anxiety from our lives but we're still not dose to Utopia. Amid all the Social Security debate about aging baby boomers and shrinking worker contributions, I'm most compelled by this statistic: Close to 20 percent of retirees get all of their income from Social Security. Should that number be a source of national pride or embarrassment? Or perhaps a better question: How do you honestly feel about drinking silver tea during your golden years?

为什么领导者不愿意承担管理过程中的“教练”角色?为什么很多领导者不愿意花时间去教别人?一方面是因为辅导员工要花去大量的时间,而领导者的时间本来就是最宝贵的资 源。另一个原因则在于对下属的辅导是否能够收到预期的效果,是一件很难说清楚的事 情,因为有很多知识和方法是“只可意会,不可言传”的,而从更深的层次来说,“教练”角色要求领导者兼具心理学家和教育专家的素质,这也是一般人难以具备的。
