Hello, moderator and judges!
I'm very glad to present my opinion here today on whether white lies hinder honesty. The following is our view:
There is no doubt that a white lie is a lie. Lies, lying is cheating, cheating is immoral, and immoral things are unpopular. These are all inculcated by teachers since childhood. But we ask ourselves, who hasn't told a lie? There are many purposes for our relatives, friends or strangers, but when we add "goodwill" to a lie, it seems that everyone may accept it, which is the concentrated expression of human weakness.
mark? Twain once said, "When you can't make up your mind, tell the truth. It will embarrass your opponent and make your friends feel relieved. " Therefore, the view of psychologists is: don't lie easily, even if it is a white lie.
Hello, moderator and judges!
In the opposing argument, please note that even a white lie, as a lie itself, is an act contrary to honesty. Therefore, no matter whether a lie has a good purpose or not, as a lie itself will inevitably hinder honesty. So, I want to speak out here, let's reject white lies, and build a honest society together.
Please note that there are great omissions in your defense. We think that to distinguish things, we should first elaborate from the definition, and synthesize the interpretation of Kangxi Dictionary. White lies mean not seeking truth from facts, telling lies and empty words, exaggerating, covering up and distorting the truth. From the analysis of the structure of well-intentioned lie phrases, it is a partial phrase, and the head word is a lie, so a well-intentioned lie is essentially a lie. It is an indisputable fact that white lies are often used by some "professional liars" because of the uncertainty of white lies. The "lie" itself is dark, the likes and dislikes of things are not measured by the purpose of things, and a white lie itself is a lie. Although he has shed his beggar clothes and put on his cheongsam, he still can't get rid of the essence of his lies, and lies mean deception, which hinders honesty. The starting point of a white lie is good, but often once it is exposed, it will do more harm to the other party. As a lie itself, it is already an act contrary to honesty.
in the 21-character moral code put forward in the "Outline for the Implementation of Civic Moral Construction" promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "honesty" is a very important code, and honesty means seeking truth and justice. The ancients said that "the true one" is sincere. Not refined and sincere, not moving.
As General Secretary Hu Jintao said in his speech, "The socialist harmonious society we want to build should be a society with democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, full of vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature."
through the above analysis, we believe that no matter whether a lie is for a good purpose or not, being a lie will inevitably hinder honesty.
is it a lie to ask the other party to argue? How can there be goodwill? ! Is goodwill! Why lie? !
Although a lie is well-intentioned, as a lie itself, it is an act that runs counter to honesty. Therefore, no matter whether a lie has a good purpose or not, being a lie will inevitably hinder honesty.
Looking back suddenly with the national spirit, it turns out that honesty is in the dim light. After thousands of years, it can still be clearly heard that honesty is the virtue of the Chinese nation, just as the Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation. If a person loses his integrity, he will leave behind hypocrisy: if an enterprise loses its integrity, it will face bankruptcy; And if a nation loses its integrity, it will degenerate and die!
keeping promises and honesty means keeping a pure land; keeping promises and honesty means keeping a letter of success; keeping promises and honesty means that the Chinese nation can last forever.
I would like to ask the other students here, when a person loses his integrity, is his starting point still good?
there is no need. why are we sitting here arguing?
So-called white lies can also lead to unpredictable consequences. And give an example: someone is terminally ill. In order to let him spend the rest of his life in peace, relatives and friends have kept him in the dark. There is no malice or selfish interest in this, but it is often unsatisfactory, and the deception cannot last long. On the contrary, it makes the patient lose the rationality of cooperating with treatment and the opportunity to deal with personal affairs. Sisera, a female philosopher? Polk warned that such lies would put people on the verge of a great decline in personality. In the book Lying, Public Affairs and Moral Choice in Private Life, she wrote: "Psychological barriers are gone, and the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood is even more vague, and the concept that lies will not be detected may tend to be paranoid." Some psychologists who have studied the phenomenon of lying suggest that anyone who wants to tell "white lies" to friends, relatives and colleagues, it is best to think about a problem involving psychological reaction.
anyone who uses an excuse wants to use it to protect himself or others. Help us save face so that we can endure setbacks.
Gasmel once said, "It is quite common to think that you are better than yourself." The excuses people come up with are sometimes unexpected. Why do people deceive themselves? American humorist Ryder pointed out: "Most people don't live in reality, but in fantasy, especially their own fantasy." Then again, it is sometimes cruel to know the truth about yourself and your friends. It is better not to know.
however, most excuses are destructive. If you use excuses unconsciously, you will fool yourself even if you don't fool others. So I ask the other party to realize that more honesty and less excuses! At the same time, I want to ask each other, if everyone has this view, how can we build an honest society and make our country develop more in honesty?
You didn't directly answer the question of the three arguments. I think that even if a lie is well-intentioned, its negative effects can be found everywhere. Why give an example? This kind of negative impact on honesty is often hidden, and it is a chronic poisoning. Ignoring this poison is undoubtedly a cover-up. I would like to ask the other debater that white lies and honesty are two categories. Would you please give an accurate definition of white lies?
