Boston College 毕业典礼 2021

大卫·布鲁克斯

大卫·布鲁克斯(大卫·布鲁克斯)在《太阳城网赌平台》(New York Times)担任令人垂涎的专栏作家近20年，他还是《公共广播太阳城网赌平台一小时》(the PBS newhour)的定期评论员,” NPR’s “All Things Considered,” and NBC’s “Meet the Press.他的职业生涯始于芝加哥城市新闻社(City News Bureau)的警察记者，后来在《太阳城网赌平台》(The Washington Times)担任过各种职务, The Wall Street Journal—where he served as an international correspondent, book reviews editor, 专栏编辑器, and for a while, movie critic—The Atlantic, 《太阳城官网》, and The Weekly Standard.

Described by a Times colleague as a conservative who understands liberals, Brooks has become one of the most high-profile commentators of our time, his trenchant analysis of politics, international news, 经济学, and social issues read or heard by millions. In 2004, Brooks created the Sidney Hook Awards—named for the philosopher, 积极分子, and 作者—to honor the year’s best political and cultural journalism, which he announces every December in his Times column.

出生于加拿大的布鲁克斯已经出版了四本书，其中包括《太阳城网赌平台》(The Road to Character). 他的最新著作是《太阳城官网》. In his writings and lectures, 他提出了在我们内心的两个自我之间取得平衡的想法:寻求“恢复美德”的自我——获得财富, 名声, and status—and the self that is dedicated to “eulogy virtues,” those that exist at the core of our being: kindness, 勇敢, 诚实, focusing on what kind of relationships we have formed.  

A graduate of the University of Chicago, Brooks teaches at Yale University, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
