30． （12分）Freedom and Responsibility
Freedom's challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic．We are facing today a strange new
world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it．
Some 2，500years ago Greece discovered freedom．Before that there was no freedom．There
were great civilizations，splendid empires，but no freedom anywhere．Egypt and Babylon were
both tyrannies，one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses．
In Greece，in Athens （雅典） ，a little city in a little country，there were no helpless
masses．And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed，and
the unwritten，which must be obeyed if free men live together．They must show each other
kindness and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one
chose to live alone in the desert．The Athenians never thought that a man was free if he could
do what he wanted．A man was free if he was self﹣controlled．To make yourself obey what
you approved was freedom．They were saved from looking at their lives as their own private
affair．Each one felt responsible for the welfare of Athens，not because it was forced on him

from the outside，but because the city was his pride and his safety．The essential belief of the
first free government in the world was liberty for all men who could control themselves and
would take responsibility for the state．
But discovering freedom is not like discovering computers．It cannot be discovered once for
all．If people do not prize it，and work for it，it will go．Constant watch is its price．Athens
changed．It was a change that took place without being noticed though it was of the extreme
importance，a spiritual change which affected the whole state．It had been the Athenians pride
and joy to give to their city．That they could get material benefits from her never entered their
minds．There had to be a complete change of attitude before they could look at the city as an
employer who paid hercitizens for doing her work．Now instead of men giving to the state，the
state was to give to them．What the people wanted was a government which would provide a
comfortable life for them； and with this as the primary object，ideas of freedom and self﹣
reliance and responsibility were neglected to the point of disappearing．Athens was more and
more looked on as a cooperative business possessed of great wealth in which all citizens had a
right to share．
Athens reached the point when the freedom she really wanted was freedom from
responsibility．There could be only one result．If men insisted on being free from the burden of
self﹣dependence and responsibility for the common good，they would cease to be
free．Responsibility is the price every man must pay for freedom．It is to be had on no other
terms．Athens，the Athens of Ancient Greece，refused responsibility； she reached the end of
freedom and was never to have it again．
But，"the excellent becomes the permanent"，Aristotle said．Athens lost freedom forever，but
freedom was not lost forever for the world．A great American，James Madison，referred to：
"The capacity （能力） of mankind for self﹣government．"No doubt he had not an idea that
he was speaking Greek．Athens was not in the farthest background of his mind，but once man
has a great and good idea，it is never completely lost．The Digital Age cannot destroy
it．Somehow in this or that man's thought such an idea lives though unconsidered by the world
of action．One can never be sure that it is not on the point of breaking out into action only sure
that it will do so sometime．
