　　政府类话题思路参考

　　◆◆

　　1.关于政府是否应该投资某项活动：这取决于该活动是否为公益产品（public goods），如大型基础工程(infrastructure)、博物馆、学校、科研机构(research institution)等，对这些项目的投入很难快速产出经济回报（economic reward），所以很难商业化（commercialize），但因为其从长远上来看能给人们带来许多好处，因此需要交由政府投资建设。

　　2.关于政府应该优先投资哪些活动：那些更紧迫的或更重要的项目应该优先得到(be given priority)投资，而对紧迫和重要的活动的定义是见仁见智的，有些人会认为学术研究能生产出推动社会科技进步的成果，带来的好处是巨大的，因此更重要，而也有一些人会觉得投资艺术可以丰富人们的精神世界(enrich inner lives)，使人们的幸福感提升，幸福感无疑是每个人的终极追求(ultimate pursuit)，因此投资艺术领域才是最重要的。

　　3.关于政府是否应该限制某项活动：这取决于该活动是否直接造成了极大的危害，而直接和极大两个限定词的讨论空间是很大的，比如，有些人认为暴力电影直接影响了观众们的想法，导致他们实施暴力(carry out violence)，但另一些人认为，暴力电影的影响是间接的，导致人们实施暴力犯罪的直接原因，是贫穷、愚昧、冲动等。
