">? Nelson MandelaMandela, the South African black political leader and former president, was awarded 1993 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to antiracism and antiapartheid. Nelson Mandela is one of the great moral and political leaders of our time: an international hero whose lifelong dedication to the fight against racial oppression in South Africa won him the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidency of his country. Since his triumphant release in 1990 from more than a quarter-century of imprisonment, Mandela has been at the centre of the most compelling and inspiring political drama in the world. As president of the African National Congress and head of South Africa's antiapartheid movement, he was instrumental in moving the nation toward multiracial
government and majority rule. He is revered everywhere as a vital force in the fight for human rights and racial equality. (138)
? Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He was the pioneer of the resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, firmly founded upon total non-violence—which led India to independence and has inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. He is officially honored in India as the Father of the Nation. After assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns to ease poverty, expand women's rights, build religious and ethnic amity, and increase economic self-reliance. Above all, he aimed to achieve the
independence of India from foreign domination. Later he campaigned against the British to Quit India. Gandhi spent a number of years in jail in both South Africa and India. (128)
Additionally, Gandhi influenced important leaders and political movements. Leaders of the civil rights movement in the United States, including Martin Luther King and James Lawson, drew from the writings of Gandhi in the development of their own theories about non-violence. Anti-apartheid activist and former President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was inspired by Gandhi. Prior to becoming President of the United States, then-Senator Barack Obama noted that: Throughout my life, I have always looked to Mahatma Gandhi as an inspiration, because he embodies the kind of transformational change that can be made when ordinary people come together to do extraordinary things. That is why his portrait hangs in my Senate office: to remind me that real results will come not just from Washington – they will come from the people. (129)
??Martin Luther King
Martin Luther King, Jr. was an American clergyman, activist and prominent leader in the
African-American civil right movement. His main legacy was to secure progress on civil rights in the United States and he is frequently referenced as a human rights icon today.
King led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in 1957, serving as its first president. King's efforts led to the 1963 March on Washington, where King delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he raised public
consciousness of the civil rights movement and established himself as one of the greatest orators in U.S. history. By the time of his death in 1968, he had refocused his efforts on ending poverty and opposing the VietnamWar, both from a religious perspective.
In 1964, King became the youngest person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end
racial segregation and racial discrimination through civil disobedience and other non-violent means. He was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977 and Congressional Gold Medal in 2004; Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was established as a U.S. national
holiday in 1986. (192)
? Mother Teresa
Mother Teresa was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun with Indian citizenship who founded the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta, India in 1950. For over 45 years she ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned, and dying, while guiding the Missionaries of Charity?s expansion.
Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity continued to expand, and at the time of her death it was operating 610 missions in 123 countries, including hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS,
leprosy and tuberculosis, children's and family counseling programs, and schools.
By the 1970s she was internationally famed as a humanitarian and advocated for the poor and helpless. She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and India's highest civilian honor, the Bharat Ratna in 1980 for her humanitarian work. (122)
?
? Susan B. Anthony
Although I am not a feminist, I admire Susan B. Anthony for her daring to hold on to her view even being mocked cruelly by her contemporaries. A tireless civil rights worker, Anthony devoted her life to the work which has guaranteed women‘s basic right, including suffrage and equal protections under law. She believed that men and women are created equal and persevered uemittingly in opening doors and expanding acceptable modes of behavior for women. In the patriarchy society of her time, people considered her unladylike and ridiculous. However, 19th Amendment to the Constitution gives women‘s rights to vote, which established Susan B. Anthony as a bold revolutionary feminist in history. (111)
?Margaret Sanger
Margaret Sanger sparked the birth control movement with the publication of The Woman Rebel, in which she encourages women to view conception as a choice rather than an obligation. In 1923, her tireless efforts resulted in the establishment of America's first legal birth control clinic, which served as a contraceptive dispensary and research facility under the auspices of the American Birth Control League (one of the groups that eventually morphed into Planned Parenthood). The birth control movement has had far-reaching, worldwide implications, from women's rights to population control to the sexual revolution. (92)
l Bright Minds
? Newton
Newton‘s aim at Cambridge was a law degree. Instruction at Cambridge was dominated by the philosophy of Aristotle but some freedom of study was allowed in the third year of the course. Newton had a golden opportunity to study an abundance of great minds: the philosophy of Descartes, Gassendi, Hobbes, and in particular Boyle. The mechanics of the Copernican
astronomy of Galileo attracted him and he also studied Kepler‘s Optics. It is a fascinating account of how Newton‘s ideas were formed. He collected all these thoughts and developed his own system by which he successfully explained a wide range of previously uelated phenomena: the eccentric orbits of comets, the procession of the Earth‘s axis, and motion of the Moon as perturbed by the gravity of the Sun, as well as the three laws of motion that made him an international leader in scientific research and the greatest pilot in human‘s civilization. (157)
? Darwin’s Origin of Species
The theory of evolution is one of the great intellectual revolutions of human history. Hundreds of years ago, people were confused with the complexity of different species of the world, and believed that species were created by the mysterious God. However, Darwin did not believe so. After several years' study, he eventually demonstrated that species, however complex seemingly, all evolved by natural selection from simple and preliminary conditions. When Darwin published his famous research results on the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, the book encountered lots of controversies. Members of the religious community, as well as some
scientific peers, were outraged and protested.
??Nicolaus Copernicus
Nicolaus Copernicus was a Polish mathematician and astronomer who proposed that the sun was stationary in the center of the universe and the earth revolved around it. Disturbed by the failure of Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe to follow Aristotle's requirement for the uniform circular motion of all celestial bodies, Copernicus decided that he could achieve his goal only through a heliocentric model. He thereby created a concept of a universe in which the distances of the planets from the sun bore a direct relationship to the size of their orbits. At the time
Copernicus's heliocentric idea was very controversial; nevertheless, it was the start of a change in the way the world was viewed, and Copernicus came to be seen as the initiator of the Scientific Revolution. (129)
? Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the
telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo's observations about four satellites of Jupiter with his new telescope convinced him of the truth of Copernicus's sun-centered or heliocentric theory. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy," the "father of modern physics," and "the Father of Modern Science." Stephen Hawking says, "Galileo, perhaps more than any other single person, was responsible for the birth of modern science." (96)
? Christopher Columbus
In 1485, Columbus presented his plans to John II, King of Portugal. He requested he be made "Great Admiral of the Ocean", appointed governor of any and all lands he discovered, and given
one-tenth of all revenue from those lands. The king submitted the proposal to his experts and rejected it. In 1488 Columbus appealed to the court of Portugal once again, and once again it also proved unsuccessful. Then, Columbus travelled from Portugal to both Genoa and Venice, but he received encouragement from neither. In1486, Columbus presented his plans to Queen Isabella. After the passing of much time, these savants of Spain, like their counterparts in Portugal, pronounced the idea impractical, and advised their Royal Highnesses to pass on the proposed venture. But after endless attempts at establishing a settlement of Hispanism, Catholic Monarchs finally gave him an annual allowance of 12,000 maravedis and furnished him with a letter ordering all cities and towns under their domain to provide him food and lodging with which Columbus successfully initiated widespread contact between Europeans and indigenous Americans and carved out the cross-continental trade market. (183)
? John Nash
Before 1950, Adam Smith was respected as ―the father of Game Theory‖, he wrote a famous book named The Wealth of Nations and demonstrated ―perfect competition‖ which was
commonly accepted by people. There is a sentence from the book ―Individual ambition serious the common good‖ which means when each individual pursue his own interests, the benefits of the group will be improved most effectively. However, John Nash, a normal mathematician in Princeton University, created a theory ―Nash Equilibrium‖ which laid the foundation of Game Theory in 1950. He doubted the statement from Adam Smith, and he succeeded. John Nash wrote a 28 pages dissertation to argue a new theory. Due to the fact that personal benefits
conflict each other, the interest of a group will be harmed. To ensure the interests of whole group, individuals should find equilibrium between the personal and group interests. Consequently, John Nash received the Nobel Prize in economics and fundamentally reformed the arena of economics. (160)
?
??Alfred Bernhard Nobel-1
Alfred Bernhard Nobel was a Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, armaments manufacturer and the inventor of dynamite. To be able to detonate the dynamite rods he also invented a detonator which could be ignited by lighting a fuse. The market for dynamite and detonating caps grew very rapidly and Alfred Nobel also proved himself to be a very skillful entrepreneur and businessman. He later produced ballistite, one of the first smokeless powders. At the time of his death, his will provide his enormous fortune of the major portion of $9 million estate to
institute the Nobel Prize, a yearly prize for merit in physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology, literature, and world peace. The synthetic element nobelium was named after him. (119)
? Thomas Edison
In 19th century, people could only get light from candles, but it suffered from several
disadvantages, including exorbitantly high price and in adequate lightness. Thomas Edison, one of the most prominent inventors in the 20th century, overcame 1500 failure and suitable filament for electric light bulb which were affordable for all people to buy and use. He tried numerous
materials such as iron, copper, aluminum, silver, hair, even his colleague‘s brown beard, but he fails all times. Nevertheless he did not give up and dedicated himself in finding the best material. The belief held by him was that ―we will make the electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn
candles.‖ He had the first successful experiment in 1879, finding that carbon filament can last over 40 hours, but he and his team were not satisfied for that. Through hundreds of tough trying, they finally found carbonized bamboo filament which could last over 1200 hours. Furthermore, the light bulbs invented by Edison with the most suitable filament have not only lighted up the world, but influenced people‘s lives all over the world until now. (185)

考研政治大题答题技巧
普遍适用规则：
在掌握知识量基本相同的情况下，答题技巧的不同可能使总分相差10到20分。政治的考研试卷中大题的分值占百分之六十，而实际上大题也是技巧性最强的题型。下面向大家介绍大题答题四步曲：第一步：仔细审题。找出本题目是关于哪个学科的哪个章节，在草稿纸上写下此章节内所有可能与本题有联系的基本概念及原理。大多数题目是跨章节，甚至跨学科的，要注意思维的发散性。
第二步：解释每一个概念并写出原理的基本内容。如果自己写出的相关概念太多，则视试卷留出的空白捡重要的写，解释概念和原理一般不要超过本题答题空间的二分之一。什么？
太多了？不要怕，答多不扣分。但要注意答题时每个概念和原理要作为一段，字迹要工整清晰。好了，本题目分数的一半你已经拿到了，下面进行第三步。
第三步：联系实际。如果本题是论述题，则根据本题联系实际中的一些现象，给出评价；如果本题是材料题，则材料就是实际，指出材料中的一些问题，也就是将材料用你学过的关于政治的术语再复述一遍。这部分一定要有，而且要作为一个段落，如果字迹工整的话，即使这一段答得驴头不对马嘴，至少也有两分。 第四步：总结。这一部分是绝对送分的，但也要有技巧。要将其作为一个段落，如果此题是论述题，则将整个题目再复述一遍，不要忘了在前面加上一个所以；如果此题是材料题，则提倡材料中好的做法，批评材料中坏的做法。
如果答大题时你能熟练地按上面的四步做，大题方面你至少可以比相同水平的其他人多得n分，不信？试用历史唯物主义的有关原理说明"以德治国"与"以法治国"的关系及其重要意义(2002年政治重中之重)。首先仔细读题目，题目中已经告诉我们是用马哲中的历史唯物主义的几章的原理，而以法治国和以德治国是邓论中的内容，因此要考虑将两个学科结合起来答题。表面上看题目中有两个基本概念以法治国和以德治国，联系到马哲，以德治国便是是道德问题，是上层建筑；以法治国便是法制问题。如此以来，此题需要答的基本概念和原理有：道德，法制，以德治国，以法治国，上层建筑，道德与法制的关系，以法治国和以德治国的关系。然后联系实际，这一步没关系，只要稍微写两句而且字迹工整便不失大格。最后总结，好像这里把题目重抄一遍不顺口，其实只要稍微一改便行：要把以法治国和以德治国相结合。
下面我们看一下标准答案：
1)历史唯物主义认为道德与法制既有联系又有区别，二者的区别表现在：道德的概念；法制的概念；道德与法制的关系。
2)历史唯物主义又认为，社会的经济基础决定上层建筑的产生、性质和变化；上层建筑反作用于经济基础。社会主义的法律和道德是社会主义上层建筑的重要组成部分，它对经济基础的发展有重大意义。
3)以法治国和以德治国又是相辅相成，不可分割的。以法治国的概念；以德治国的概念；以法治国和以德治国的关系。
4)把以德治国和以法治国紧密的结合起来，是建设有中国特色的社会主义的要求，也是社会主义市场经济的要求。
怎么样，是不是感到大题的简单了？上面是我总结的几条关于政治考研的技巧，如果你能真正掌握它，不好意思，你的政治考研分数再也没有希望低于70分了。
论述题：
第一步：仔细审题。
建议考生找出本题目是关于哪个科学的哪个章节，在草稿纸上写下此章节内所有可能与本题有联系的基本概念及原理。大多数题目是跨章节，甚至跨学科的，要注意思维的发散性。 第二步：解释每一个概念并写出原理的基本内容。

2.人生哲理和社会哲理积极话题
A. 人生哲理类必备素材
Topic 1：Optimism 乐观心态的意义（直接命中2012写作真题）
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of an optimistic mindset. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. An optimistic mindset can help us
achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. By being optimistic. we can face challenges and surmount hardships with confidence，keep sober and figure out effective measures even in desperate situations. To further illustrate the importance of being optimistic, I would like to take Beethoven as a case in point: how could he, a great German music composer who became deaf at his forties, compose so many enduring and classic symphonies without optimism?
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the power of optimism. once coming across frustrations and intending to give up, we should remind ourselves that it is optimism that will finally lead us to turn the corner. “the optimistic sees the rose， and the pessimistic sees the thorn.” A philosopher once said.
Topic 2：Innovation consciousness 创新意识的意义
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of the consciousness of innovation. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. A innovative spirit can promote the advancement of both individuals and society as a whole. only those who are keeping on creating new things can make continuous progress and maintain competitive edge. To further illustrate the importance of innovation, I would like to take Steve Jobs as a case in point: how could he, a genius who change the way of modern communication, recreation and even our life, invent so many powerful electronic products without a creative spirit ?
From my perspective, at no time should we overlook the power of the consciousness of innovation. Furthermore, we need to develop a habit of discovering new things，using new methods and applying new thoughts in our work, study or simply everyday life. “Innovation is the spirit of human being’s progress.” A philosopher once said.
Topic 3：persistence/ perseverance 坚持的意义
The cartoon aims at informing us of the significance of persistence. Definitely, no once can deny the importance of it. Persistence can help us carve out a way to success. Although the way to success is bumpy and filled with inevitable setbacks, it is persistence that lead us to the destination we are eager to reach. To further demonstrate the importance of being persistent， I would like to take Thomas Edison as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest inventor throughout the history of mankind who experienced numerous unsuccessful attempts, invent the first electric lamp without persistence ?
Accordingly, at no time should we overlook the importance of persistence. when coming across hardships and setbacks , we need to grit our teeth and adhere to the faith that our efforts and persistence will be paid off. “Great works are performed not by strength, but by perseverance.” Samuel Johnson once said.
Topic 4：Dreams/ objectives 梦想和目标的意义

Our dreams/goals/ideals/objectives will prevent us from quitting easily especially when we are in great trouble. They will lead us to the destination we are eager to reach, bring out the best in us and stimulate us to remain firm in our faith. To further illustrate the importance of dreams/objectives, I would like to take Helen Keller as a case in point: how could she, a disabled woman who was born blind and deaf, finally be a world-renowned writer who wrote If I Had Three Days to See without her dreams to overcome physical limitations.
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of dreams/objectives. furthermore, we must set up proper goals before we start to do anything and stick to it whatever difficulties we meet . “One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve. ” Paul Nitze once said.

Those who are modest will never be content with their current achievements, instead, they will work constantly to achieve a higher target. moreover，a modest people are more likely to be fitting in, win others’ trust and enjoy a harmonious interpersonal relationship. To further illustrate the importance of modesty, I would like to take Newton as a case in point: how could he, one of the most influential scientists throughout the history of mankind, discover the Law of Momentum Conservation if he was simply content with the achievement of finding Three Laws of Motion ?
Accordingly, at no time should we be satisfied with our small accomplishments, instead , we need to keep an open mind to accept new things, absorb new information, acquire new knowledge and seize new opportunities. “Success consists in industry and modesty.” A philosopher once said.

once can deny the importance of it. Cooperation can help people achieve our objectives more smoothly. If everyone in a group can cooperate with each other actively and play each other’s strength sufficiently, those once-deemed-unachievable tasks for one single person can be successfully accomplished through shared efforts. Quite a few examples can be given to prove the importance of A, and I can think of no better illustration than the following one: after the financial crisis swept the whole world in 2008, how could the world economy recover/restore/revive/revitalize at such a rapid speed without cooperation among countries all around the world ?
We should Always bear in mind that in such a competitive world of today, no individuals or organizations can achieve success without cooperation. Furthermore, when coming across setbacks or challenges, we should not dismiss ourselves as a powerless individual, instead, we should discover advantageous resources initiatively, collaborate effectively with people around us, and thus overcome all the things that lie in the way to success.“Coming together is a beginning . Keeping together is a process . Working together is a success.” Hey Ford once said.

Being patient enables us to achieve our objectives more smoothly and realize our dreams more rapidly. Those who have the patience to do little things perfectly and keep optimistic in desperate situations are more likely to recognize themselves profoundly, discover their shortcomings and space to make progress and thus eventually seize the opportunity. To further illustrate the importance of being patient, I would like to take Thomas Edison as a case in point: how could he, one of the greatest inventor throughout the history of mankind who experienced numerous unsuccessful attempts, invent the first electric lamp without patience and persistence ?
Accordingly, at no time should we underestimate the power of patience. Furthermore, when coming with setbacks and bottlenecks, instead of giving up easily, what we must do is to accumulate experience, enhance abilities and wait for the appearance of opportunities. “Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.” Friedrich Schiller, German dramatist and poet, also once said.
