在社会中立足establish oneself firmly in the society
如果没有社会整体价值观的影响,我们就像生活在孤岛之上;同样,如果没有其他个人、家庭、小团体的影响,我们就像漂泊在大海之中。Without the effects of the value of that society as a whole, we will truly be isolated from the rest; similarly, without the effect of other individuals, our own family members and small groups, we will just likely to drift in the sea.

十、社会责任
看似矛盾的属性seemingly contradictory attributes
双重属性dual attributes
相对独立的个人单元relative independent individual
在某些情况下,社会的确应该对一些偶尔的责任心的丢失给予例外,但是过渡的原谅将会置社会秩序于危险之中。Admittedly, under certain circumstance a society should give exceptions toward some occasionally absence of individual responsibility. However, over extensive forgiveness would endanger the whole society order.
社会责任是由外部条件赋予的而不是主观设计的。Responsibility is imposed by external forces rather than subjective designed.

十二、质疑精神
哈维Harvey的新学运动论”De Moto Cord”极大地挑战了古罗马神医Galen, Ancient Rome doctor,的学说。具体过程如下:在比利时医生Veslius发现了血液小循环系统small blood circulatory,半个世纪后Servetus在其著作”Christiaism Restitutes”中再次挑战了Galen的学说,又过了半个世纪Harvey通过对80多种动物的解剖anatomies终于发现了血液运动的规律the law of blood motivation,无可辩驳的事实再次证明了Galen理论的荒谬absurdity,使人类对生理的认识从感性上升到理性,一个里程碑式的转折rise people’s understanding of human physiology from a perceptual cognition to rational cognition—a landmark turning point。
质疑精神是一种内在的否定因素innate denying factor通过否定而变成肯定,让事情从低级走向高级(from inferior to superior).
质疑精神不等于排除异己,它实际上是一种思想上的交流,而非思想上的排斥,但是过分的质疑所导致的排除异己的现象的确会阻碍认知的进行以及进一步的发展。Skepticism does not mean to exclude dissidents, it is in fact an ideological exchange, rather than ideology of exclusion, but excessive skepticism without any doubt may result in the exclusion of dissidents, which indeed hinder the process of cognition and its further development.
