关于这篇文章,老师提出的要素主要有三个,一个是对于题目的回答(论文题目是无政府主义经怎样改善或破坏人们的生活);其次是长度;最后是一定要运用老师提供的资料以外的内容。当然,论文分数不基于撰写者的观点。对我来说,在一个月的时间内去看完300多篇资料实在太困难了,所以根据自己的需要去查阅一些中文资料再翻译成英文,这样一来最后一条要求竟然变成了很容易的事。下面我就把文章贴上来,很长,由于我不是很了解无政府主义所以看起来可能很像垃圾,但是我觉得在写作方面也是不小的成就。
Anarchy and Our Life

Introduction
Unification makes the world orderly and diversity makes the world full of energy. An ordered society without any energy is stone dead; however, an energic society without order can be regard as chaos. What we are seeking for is a perfect combination of energy and order, a perfect combination of liberty and authority. It is neither the deathlike totalism nor Anarchy.1
Anarchy is very familiar to us already. This is a state of total absence of government and its philosophy called Anarchism has been developed since 1700s. There are always some arguments on Anarchy. So far it’s still a theory and has not been put in practice so we do not know exactly how it would affect our life if some day it realized. Now we can only reference some statements of Anarchists and analyze them, deduce the progress of realizing Anarchy and imagine the day it comes true.
Berkman said, “I want to tell you about it, because I believe that Anarchism is the finest and biggest thing man has ever thought of; the only thing that can give you liberty and well-being, and bring peace and joy to the world.”2 I agree the first part of this statement because Anarchy sounds like a fantastic stuff but it is still an idea. About giving people liberty and peace and joy, that has not been tested and it is very possible that Anarchy leads to something opposite. While Anarchists are showing their enthusiasm, they ignored some serious problems like feasibility of run a society without a government, how to pull out government without harm on people’s life and the order of society, how to gather people and unify their idea to make progress on something, and the desire of authority, and even that organizations under Anarchy can be regarded as another form of government or it may lead to power centralization again.
After all, governments are all over the world and own extremely strong force and authority is always powerful and they never offer chances to let themselves be overthrown. So there are not only conflicts and revolutions to realize Anarchy but will also be very violent and bloody ones. Then, even if Anarchy comes true someday, it will not last long. Anarchists eager liberty but somehow they rarely think about the human nature. However, desire of authority shouldn’t be despised because everyone has it. What’s more, when governments are destroyed, it doesn’t mean authorities die away because they authority is not defined that to have power and military but to be more influential than people around. Even though there is no president, no mayor, no principal, and no manager, when five people gather together, an outstanding one absolutely can be the authority. When my family is having dinner, my mother is the authority because she earns the most sum of money every year and she decides all the fairs in my family. This kind of authority doesn't need to be formed on purpose and would not be easy to be destroyed. Do Anarchists have to carry out new tasks to destroy those small authorities and when they form again do they destroy them again and again?
According to those points, I think, Anarchy will never entirely or permanently exist and when it becomes activity it turns into a state of violence and chaos. More or less this state does not help but harms our life because a life everyone needs should be normal and ordered.
Explanation
What is Anarchy (Anarchism)
Throughout so many yeas after Anarchism had appeared, a great many people had defined it in all kinds of ways.
By different origins, Anarchy is interpreted in multiple ways. The word “Anarchy” is combined with two Greek language elements and the definition of Anarchy is “the absence of government”. < Webster’s Third International Dictionary>, a dictionary one-up in the world, defines Anarchy as “a political theory against any limit by the governments; a union promoting liberty; an association of freedom; an organization which content its own demand.”3 Other dictionaries give similar definitions for “Anarchy”. < New Webster Handy College Dictionary> says Anarchism is a theory that stands for the abrogation of governments. About this definition in < New Webster Handy College Dictionary>, however, Dr. Noam Chomsky disagrees. He said Anarchy is not a theory but at most a historical trend that is about minds and behaviors and has many properties of development and improvement. But he also thinks this trend will be always in hot water in human’s history.4
More or less the definitions both in these dictionaries and presented by some critics show the evolutions of Anarchy because of the consideration and movement by Anarchists. Now let’s see what happened to Anarchy in its long history.
William Godwin is the first person who claimed himself was Anarchist and began writing on Anarchism. Godwin published his book < Political Justice> in 1793 in which Godwin’s idea about Anarchy was interpreted. However, Godwin, this “pacemaker” was forgotten by people after his death.
