问题     Along with the amazing development of society, more and more people begin to realise that only peace can ensure human prosperity. In recent years, some people propose that compulsory military service should be abolished.
    Do you agree or not? Give your reasons.
选项
答案     In many countries, children are called upon for military service when they are 18 years old nowadays. Meanwhile, in China, especially in lots of universities, freshmen are required to take military training before they begin to study. It seems that it is a must in the growth-process of the young. However, is it proper to maintain military service in an era characterised by peace and development? This question is a very controversial one.
    We can’t deny that we have benefited a lot from military service. Firstly, it offers a good way to strengthen a person not only physically but also psychologically. No matter how tired he becomes during the difficult training, he must clench his teeth and carry on. Gradually, a strong character can be built up. Secondly, military training arouses people’s awareness of discipline and unity. In the army, everything is fixed. One must obey the rules and do what he is scheduled to do promptly. Also, teamwork spirit and unity are very important for soldiers if they want to achieve a task perfectly.
    Despite the advantages the military service has, it has some very serious disadvantages. In the army, no one is allowed to say "no" to an order. Such a discipline may possibly lead to bullying and conformity. "Yes Boys" and "Yes Girls" are found everywhere. Their lack of creativity and individuality will eventually turn into lack of vitality of their nation. What’s more, it is a step away from peace. If it goes to extremeness, military service will inflict a fear called "militarism" on us. People become militant. The threat of war will lead people all around the world into jeopardy.
    All these opinions make sense, and it is consequently hard to decide which one is more reasonable. In my opinion, we’d better popularize the military service properly and restrain its bad effects. We should make it a good way to maintain peace and create a better world for us to live in.
