Lawyers are regarded as Darth Vaders of the New Age in America. America has become overpopulated with lawyers—the legal profession has transformed the American system into a government of the lawyers, by the lawyers and for the lawyers. This has led to an explosion of litigation(诉讼), which has burdened the paying public with billions in legal bills. These are paid by all the people in the form of higher costs, higher prices and lower productivity.
As a group, lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society. In an age when we need cooperation and self-responsibility, they promote conflict and blame. Where we need unity, they promote division. Where we need honest communications, they practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games.
A recent study reported in the San Francisco Chronicle found lawyers bad for the economy. They are obviously bad for the total society; they have been called America’s own home grown terrorists due to their explosive, random, and negative impact on the nation. It has been suggested that nothing would benefit the society more than a five year moratorium(延期偿付) on all civil litigation and locking down the law schools until the next century. Of course, this will never happen. Lawyers are powerful figures in the Receding Age and they will not readily surrender their privileged positions.
Given the negative impact of lawyers on society in general, it is not surprising that they have had a very negative impact upon the employee-employer relationship as well. The number of so-called "wrongful discharge" cases has increased dramatically as lawyers have found a new area to exploit. Some employees now spend more time documenting their cases against their employers for future litigation than they do performing their duties.
Why do we say that lawyers are one of the most reactionary forces in American society?
选项
A、They practice the art of distortion in an effort to win legal games where we need honest communications.
B、They promote conflict and blame when we need cooperation and self-responsibility.
C、They promote division where we need unity.
D、All of the above.
答案
D
解析
本题为事实归纳题。在第二段中,作者首先指出律师业是美国社会的一种反动力量,然后历数了律师业为什么是反动力量。A项、B项和C项都是作为例子说明作者的观点,因此选项D正确。
