2018年專(zhuān)八作文范文：盲目跟隨

　　As people respond to incentives, they will changetheir behaviors if they perceive that costs orbenefits change. This principle seems to find wideapplication in our daily lives. When collegegraduates learn that receiving a master degree willgive them an upper hand in the job market, manydecide to take part in post-graduate entranceexaminations. In China, it is regarded as following suit. Though we admire those who pridethemselves on sticking to their ideals and principles, odds may not be against those who followsuit.Generally speaking, there are both advantages and disadvantages of following suit.

　　Firstly, following suit is indicative of the fact that followers have no indispensable beliefs orfixed principles and hence they are flexible in the vicissitudes of lives. When the social contextchanges and opportunities arise, those followers are the first to respond and make decisions.Take the English training service for example. In early 1990s, increasing number of collegegraduates decided to study overseas and hence English training service was in large demand.Given that forerunners had make a fortune by providing training programs to those graduates,many businessmen just followed suit and established several trainingschools. Undoubtedly,those who followed suit when the market did not reach saturation did make money.

　　Secondly, it is noteworthy that following suit can avoid making mistakes. For thoseforerunners, there is no previous information at their hand, and therefore, it will take a longtime to learn and improve by trial and error. During the period of trial and error, forerunnerswill encounter unexpected difficulties andpressures. As a result, when those becomesuccessful in certain domains, they have proved that the path will lead to success, providingboth pros and cons. On the contrary, followers need not experience the process of trial anderror. They can just imitate their forerunners’ proven pattern of behaviors and have easieraccess to success.There are also some disadvantages of following suit. When there are so manyfollowers, the world will become crowded and odds are against those later followers.

　　Furthermore, following suit prevents innovation and creation, which is to the detriment of oursociety. However, whether one should follow suit or not is not simply a to-be-or-not-to-bequestion. A basic assumption of individual person is that everyone is rational. So oneshouldcarefully calculate costs and benefits in specific circumstances before they decide tofollow suit or not.

　　人們?cè)诿鎸?duì)誘惑時(shí)，尤其是當(dāng)成本和利益發(fā)生變化時(shí)，他們的行為也會(huì)有所變化。這樣的事情會(huì)在我們的生活中出現(xiàn)。當(dāng)大學(xué)生發(fā)現(xiàn)，獲得碩士學(xué)位會(huì)讓他們更容易找工作時(shí)，許多人就會(huì)決定參加碩士考試。在中國(guó)，這就叫做緊追趨勢(shì)。盡管我們羨慕那些堅(jiān)持己見(jiàn)的人，但是，那些緊追趨勢(shì)的人也會(huì)交到好運(yùn)。總體來(lái)說(shuō)，緊追趨勢(shì)有好有壞。

　　首先，緊追趨勢(shì)表明，人們沒(méi)有自己的信仰，或是一些規(guī)定的準(zhǔn)則，所以，他們會(huì)時(shí)長(zhǎng)進(jìn)行改變。當(dāng)社會(huì)變化，機(jī)遇增加時(shí)，那些追隨者將會(huì)首先進(jìn)行變化，并作出決定。我們以英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)為例、20世紀(jì)90年代初，大量畢業(yè)生出國(guó)深造，促使英語(yǔ)培訓(xùn)需求量增大。那些為學(xué)生提供培訓(xùn)的企業(yè)賺到了錢(qián)，許多商人緊隨其后，建立了許多培訓(xùn)機(jī)構(gòu)。在市場(chǎng)尚未飽和時(shí)，那些跟風(fēng)的商人賺到了錢(qián)。

　　第二，跟風(fēng)可以避免犯錯(cuò)誤。對(duì)于那些先驅(qū)者，他們并不擁有所需要的信息，所以，他們需要更長(zhǎng)的時(shí)間來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)，并在實(shí)踐過(guò)程中不斷進(jìn)步。在實(shí)踐的過(guò)程中，先驅(qū)者會(huì)遇到許多不可預(yù)期的困難和壓力。所以，當(dāng)他們?cè)谀骋活I(lǐng)域取得成功時(shí)，他們已經(jīng)證明這條道路是成功的，他們向人們提供了優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)。相反，跟隨者并沒(méi)有經(jīng)歷過(guò)實(shí)踐的過(guò)程。他們只是模仿先驅(qū)者所證明過(guò)的道路，并很容易的取得了成功。但是，跟風(fēng)也會(huì)有許多弊端。當(dāng)追隨者的人數(shù)過(guò)多時(shí)，他們失敗的幾率也會(huì)增加。

　　而且，跟風(fēng)阻止了創(chuàng)新和發(fā)明，這對(duì)于社會(huì)是不利的。但是，人們是否應(yīng)該跟風(fēng)不僅僅是一個(gè)是或否的問(wèn)題。每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該是理性的。所以，人們應(yīng)該根據(jù)不同的情況來(lái)計(jì)算效率和成本，之后，人們才應(yīng)該決定是否應(yīng)該跟風(fēng)。
