Should Universities lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?
In recent years, many famous universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an entry examination. This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.
Some people object strongly that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education. In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education. However, still other people think it acceptable. They say that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their field. Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities to some extent set a good model for other young people.
Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one. For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better chance for learning. For another, if they accept advanced education, they could serve the society better. Therefore, I suggest that people should pay more attention to these celebrities’ efforts and contributions rather than the special treatment they enjoy.
近年来,许多著名大学降低入学要求名人。越来越多的名人,尤其是体育明星,甚至已经没有入学考试考上名牌大学。这种现象已经成为一个引起广泛争议的问题。
有些人强烈反对大学降低入学要求名人。他们认为这种招生模式会损害基础教育公平的规则。此外,他们说,如果一个人没有足够的学术能力是考上了大学,是大学教育的一种侮辱。然而,还有其他人认为是可以接受的。他们说这些名人值得这个特权,因为他们已经证明自己的能力在自己的领域。此外,在他们的意见,这在一定程度上的名人树立一个好榜样为其他年轻人。
权衡这两种说法,我更喜欢后者。一方面,这些名人有牺牲多学习他们的工作时间,因此他们应该提供一个更好的'学习机会。另一方面,如果他们接受先进的教育,他们可以更好地为社会服务。因此,我建议人们应该更多地关注这些名人的努力和贡献,而不是他们所享有的特殊待遇。
