人地矛盾视角下的中国现代农业模式

"人口多,特别是农民多,耕地少"是我国的基本国情和三农问题产生的根源所在。这一特殊的国情决定我国农业发展的目标和路径都不同于西方发达国家。大力发展循环农业,以生物技术为主要技术路线,以拓展农业产业链为核心任务,建立以家庭承包经营为基础、以社会化服务为保障、以专业化合作为纽带的农业经营体制,以人力资源开发为首要任务,才是切合我国实际的现实选择。     

从“伦理”到“契约”——从“五四”看中国近代文化转型

以新媒体为特征的信息传播的发展,导致人们的政治组织行为发生了革命性的变革.人们借助网络平台,基于共同的利益诉求结成各种网络共同体,反对集权性的、等级性的科层体制,追求个人自治、分权、开放与流动的政治生活方式.这类新型政治参与主体的出现,使得西方政党在处理阶级关系、左翼与右翼政治观以及意识形态方面,表现出明显的现代性症候与不适;为了生存与发展,西方政党针对自身存在的问题,展开了现代性纠错,提出“中性化”的新政治观,倡导基层民主政治,积极推行民主政治制度的生态延伸,反对等级、线形的结构性权力,积极利用媒体提升政党形象.     

A Veteran's View of Science Education Today

Science education in our schools is fundamentally the same today as it was fifty years ago and the scientific method has not really changed. Good science teaching is defined as the never‐ending search for evidence, for objective data, which leads to truth, and the search for truth should be at the heart of education in all subjects at all levels, and teacher training should address this objective view point. Science in our schools is watered down with derivatives such as environmental education. Steps should be taken to increase the level of science content knowledge in schools and science teacher education. Additionally, the rules of the open market should be invoked to give science teachers the latitude to offer their services as other providers of professional services do, and receive compensation greater than they would as regular full‐time teachers. These issues are discussed with implications for policy.
