The people we remember best are the ones who broke the rules. " [b]Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion [b]expressed above. Support your point of view with reasons and/or examples [b]from your own experience, observations, or reading.(统一和分歧) [b]I strongly agree that rule-breakers are the most memorable people. By [b]departing from the status quo, iconoclasts call attention to themselves, [b]some providing conspicuous mirrors for society, others serving j as our [b]primary catalysts for progress. [b]In politics, for example, rule-breakers Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther [b]King secured prominent places in history by challenging the status quo [b]through civil disobedience. Renegades such as Ghengu Khan. Stalin, and [b]Hussein, broke all the human rights "rules," thereby leaving indelible [b]marks in f historical record. And future generations will probably remember [b]Nixon and Kennedy more clearly than Carter or Reagan, by way of their rule- [b]breaking activities-specifically, Nixon's Watergate debacle and Kennedy's [b]extra-marital trysts. [b]In the arts, mavericks such as Dali, Picasso, and Warhol, who break [b]established rules of composition, ultimately emerge as the greatest [b]artists, while the names of artists with superior technical skills are [b]relegated to the footnotes of art-history textbooks. Our most influential [b]popular musicians are the flagrant rule breakers-for example, be-bop [b]musicians such as Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk, who broke all the [b]harmonic rules, and folk musician-poet Bob Dylan, who broke the rules for [b]lyrics. [b]In the sciences, innovation and progress can only result from challenging [b]conventional theories, i.e., by breaking rules. Newton and Einstein, for [b]example, both refused to blindly accept what were perceived at their time [b]as certain "rules" of physics. As a result, both men redefined those rules, [b]and both men emerged as two of the most memorable figures in the field of [b]physics. [b]In conclusion, it appears that the deepest positive and negative [b]impressions appear on either side of the same iconoclastic coin. Those who [b]leave the most memorable imprints in history do so by challenging norms, [b]traditions, cherished values, and the general status quo, that is, by [b]breaking the rules. [b]
