求问council,institute,committee使用上的区别
All three are a group of people who share authority.The difference is how they got there,the political situation and power of the group.
A council is people who come together who are experts in their own place or company.For instance,a safety council might be representatives from car manufacturers to agree on safety standards.It is like representatives who make truce and come together to make an agreement which they take back to their companies.
A committee is when you have a group of people- like teachers at a school,some of whom volunteer for some kind of work (like publishing a newsletter).In academic politics committees are often used by authority (such as a dean) to get help in researching a problem and finding a solution.The committee then presents its recommendation to the authority.It is actually the authority (like the Dean) who has power to decide,but the committee helps find what the answer should be.
We also have an expression of something 'designed by committee' meaning it was poorly designed because it is a bunch of unrelated things mashed together.So you might say a camel was 'designed by committee' because it is so ugly.
A Commission is like a council,but it implies that there has been a stronger act of authority,or some sort of mission,that causes the commission to come together and act.'To commission' something is to cause it be done,like to commission a painter to paint your picture.You 'give them a mission' to do this.
So...a safety council might meet to suggest how to do things safely,and a government committee might gather to work out the wording of a law about it,and then an investigative commision would be charged with investigating when there was an accident.
