摘要：Re:think 论文写作赛事时间安排！Re:think论文竞赛题目
Re：think征文比赛，得到剑桥国际研究中心（CCIR）的支持，覆盖了从历史、当前议题到对未来的推测等多样化主题。比赛面向14至18岁的青少年，特别是那些还未开始大学学习的学生。
官方说明，参赛学生需要深入探讨这些主题，并从批判性的角度分析其含义。该比赛的目的是促使参与者发展批判性思维能力，并鼓励他们对引人入胜且具争议性的议题进行深入研究。
比赛开始时间：2024年1月15日
论文提交截止日期：2024 年 5 月 10 日
结果公布：2024年6月25日
剑桥大学颁奖典礼和晚宴：2024年7月30日
论文竞赛题目
Religion and Politics
Why has religion remained a force in a secular world?
Political Science and Law
What are the arguments for and against prison abolitionism?
Linguistics
In school we are taught to speak and write "properly" — but what does this mean? Does the idea of a "proper language" play a role, as some have suggested, in maintaining class distinctions and oppressing marginalized groups? If so, should we abandon the idea of linguistic “propriety”, or somehow reconceptualize it?
Environment
Does the principle of ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ actually contribute to reducing global waste, or is it just a myth that distracts from the real issues of overproduction and overconsumption? Should developing countries be held to the same environmental standards as developed countries, despite their different stages of industrialization and economic needs?
Sociology and Philosophy
Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of our lives: from Snapchat filters to deepfakes, it is becoming easier than ever for our images to be manipulated by ourselves and others alike in myriad ways.
How will AI change our understanding of beauty? How does the prevalence of AI in our lives cut across our understanding of beauty? What sorts of ethical and political consequences will this have?
Business and Investment
Do overvalued startups with unsustainable business models negatively affect competition and the overall health of the economy? Or are they rather just the regrettable, but unavoidable “bad apples” in a financial and economic system that is rational as a whole?
Public Health and Sustainability
Discuss the conflict of sustainability, agriculture, and human health.
Genetics
Gene therapy is a medical approach that treats or prevents disease by correcting the underlying genetic problem. Is gene therapy better than traditional medicines? What are the pros and cons of using gene therapy as a medicine? Is gene therapy justifiable?
Biotechonology
In the near future, there’s a possibility of utilizing cells from various parts of the body to create these germ cells, also known as gametes. This innovative process, called in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), opens up the potential for producing babies using cells sourced from muscle, liver, or blood. Scientists can construct embryos, eggs, and sperm from induced pluripotent stem cells. This technology may open up many applications since, in theory, anyone can make biological babies or clones independent of their gender or age using their somatic cells. Ethical regulations have so far been implemented to limit the study.
Should we move forward with vitro gametogenesis (IVG) further?
Artificial Intelligence
Is AI-driven data mining serving us better or is it overriding our privacy?
Neuroengineering
Breaking down the boundaries between humans and machine. In a sense, some of us can already be considered to be human-smartphone hybrids. Researchers and the tech industry are developing better and better approaches for breaking down the boundaries between humans and machines.
Will we become superhuman and immortal – and do we want to?
