Dean Mcconnaughay Vision Analysis

1100 Words5 Pages

Illustrations and Self-Evaluation about “Vision”

As the dean of the law school “in the future,” professor McConnaughay impressed SHP participants by emphasizing “vision” as a requirement for attending STL in his welcoming speech. Vision is by nature “the ability to see” and “the area that one can see” (Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English). To make a further explanation, in the context of Dean McConnaughay’s speech, it refers to an ability of making insightful expectations and flexible responses to future changes. Specifically, there are three layers of it from the perspectives of the development of the world, China, and individuals. Following each illustration, there will be an evaluation in myself concerning these aspects of vision. …show more content…

I have been to Taiwan and America as a short-term exchange student, whose legal systems are more or less different from Chinese legal system. However, there are not only differences that I could notice among these legal systems, but also the similarities among them. For example, the jury system in American law is different from Chinese legal practice, but both of the two legal systems value procedure justice. By comparing different legal systems in the world, I gradually learn more from the world that are beyond my experience. However, while I could notice the changes in the world, I have no round picture in mind about how to adapt myself to them. In other words, I am not flexible enough to respond the changes in the world immediately. Hence, I believe that I have the global vision that Dean McConnaughay suggests, but at the same time I should learn how to flexibly adapt myself to the global changes in …show more content…

Compared with earning wealth and fame for myself, I would rather make contributions for the development of the whole society, because that can bring me more sense of satisfaction. Thus, the future prosperity of China concerns me. Apart from that, the rapid development of Chinese economy has a profound influence on China’s relationship with other countries and many aspects within itself, among which law takes an essential place. I took participated in many volunteering activities, from taking care of autism children and left behind children to teach adults English. From these experiences I developed a strong sense that although economic prosperity plays an important role in society, yet what makes the public have the sense of happiness relies on the solid protection of their rights entitled by various laws in China. In short, as far as I am concerned, I have the vision of China’s future development and its role in the world and what is more essential is that I would like to spare no efforts to make my own contributions for the prosperity of the whole

  • First Chapter Of Law In America By Lawrence M. Friedman

    1164 Words  | 5 Pages

    The first chapter of “Law in America” by Lawrence M. Friedman is an introduction to the formation of the law system that we have in the United States today. The opening of the chapter depicts how Freidman starts his lectures, by reading the front few pages of the local newspaper to his very lethargic students who take his early class. At first, this seems odd given that this is not a political science class or media lecture. However, the logic behind this process is that in every “domestic” article in the news there is a connection to the law. Law is intertwined in almost every situation we face during, not only our day to day lives but also the very structure that forms the environment we live in.

    A beneficial act on China’s part was that because of their desire for luxury goods, it caused them to start a trade with other lands and allowed them to grow economically (Doc. 7). The corruption of Spanish officials and suffering of Indians gave a good example of the effect from selfishness and want for more goods. The Spanish would abuse the labor and earnings of the Indians, take the money for themselves, and give little back to the Indians for the work that they provided (Doc. 6). As the trade of luxury went on, priests began to realize and do their best efforts to encourage officials about how wrong it is to take advantage and grow needy for materialistic things, and how the government should distribute the goods fairly between their people who had a hard time in debt (Doc. 3). The a better description of how the priests encouraged the officials to act fairly upon the goods along with add a point of view of the people suffering would’ve gave a better understanding of the

The chance for me to major in Risk Management with a concentration in real estate and minor in international business is particularly enticing because I will have the opportunity to learn from situations where I will be forced to think on my feet; the leadership skills that I have learned thus far from National Honor Society and from my real estate internship will allow me to succeed in doing so.

  • Compare And Contrast Chinese Dynasties

    1274 Words  | 6 Pages

    Different periods throughout China’s history have different names, known as dynasties, for the diverse positions within its society. Theoretically, all of the periods are similar, with the government and military officials ranking high in the hierarchy, and the average everyday people being under regular Chinese law. Throughout China’s history, the society has been organized into a hierarchic system of socio-economic classes, known as the four occupations. The four occupations system seems to have become distorted after the commercialization of Chinese culture during the Song Dynasty. Even though the social rankings within the country are not as predominant as they once were, the people living within the country still know their “place” within the society.

  • Causes Of Income Inequality In China

    1890 Words  | 8 Pages

    Contrary to the finding that “income inequality increases socio-political instability” (Alesina and Perotti, 1993, p. 18) current levels of inequality in China seems to have little impact on the societal status quo. Although China has experienced massive number of social protests, about 180,000 to 230,000 in 2010 alone (Gӧbel and Ong, 2012, p. 8), these protests are motivated by “abuses of power and other procedural justice issues, rather than being fueled by feelings of distributive injustice and anger at the rich” (Whyte, 2012, p. 6). According to a research paper funded by the European Union (Gӧbel and Ong, 2012, p. 36), income inequality is not among the top five motivations for social protests which include land disputes and environmental degradation. This data is evidently incompatible with a survey finding that income inequality is too great for 95% of Chinese as opposed to only 65% of Americans. Barring survey inaccuracy, high levels of inequality in China so far does not translate to dissatisfaction that leads to outright mass protests and instability.
