This is an essay question for quotation materials.
The essay questions are divided into two parts: the presentation of opinions and the writing prompts. From the point of view of the presentation of opinions, two opposing points of view are given, and in the face of different views and positions, should we debate or remain silent. This is the central topic that must be firmly grasped in writing, and it must not be deviated from.
First, "people always have different views and positions on life" This is an abstraction and generalization of a type of phenomenon in real life, an "abstraction" of various "concrete images", and an "object" from which the latter two views can be generated. Therefore, it is a "big premise" and "big condition" that cannot be left behind in thinking when writing, that is, it is not possible to analyze the quality of debate or silence in isolation, the advantages and disadvantages, the length and so on, and the choice of debate or silence must be based on the premise of "facing different points of view and position". What do you think about "people always have different views and positions on life"? This is related to the life that everyone has experienced, and everyone's life is different, and the feelings and understanding of life are different; Even in the face of the common social life at the macro level, there are different feelings about life due to the differences in individual life visions and pursuits, as well as the differences in each person's outlook on life, world view and values.
Second, there are two opposing views: some people believe that the more reason is debated, the clearer it becomes, and the understanding can be unified through debate; Some people think that even if you are persuasive, it will be difficult to change the other party's position, so it is better to choose silence. Each point of view and two sentences form a causal relationship internally. From the former point of view, the internal logic of its establishment lies in the fact that debate allows different viewpoints and positions to confront each other, and allows different views to be compared, so as to clarify the true and false, distinguish between good and evil, and show beauty and ugliness, so as to stir up turbidity and promote purity, so that the truth can be unified at the level of conforming to truth, goodness and beauty, and abandoning falsehood, evil and ugliness.
From the latter point of view, it is persuasive but difficult to change the other party's position, the reason behind it is that, on the one hand, the other party's position is firm, and everyone sticks to their own principles, bottom line, understanding the logic of life, and the value appeal of life; On the other hand, one's so-called "persuasiveness" may only be one's own belief in the position and logic that one adheres to, and it may be due to one's own cognitive defects and biases that the "persuasiveness" is not strong and one is not aware of it.
Looking more closely, the former viewpoint says that "unifying understanding through debate" is the way, and "unifying understanding" is the goal; A closer look at the latter point of view shows that "silence" is actually a practice taken after "it is difficult to change the position of the other party". On the whole, there is also unity between the two opposing viewpoints, that is, changing the other party's position to achieve the goal of unifying understanding.
The opposition lies in two points: one is the difference in means, that is, the difference between debate and silence; The second is the difference in results, that is, in the former viewpoint, the two sides of the debate may or may not reach unification, while in the latter viewpoint they may not reach unification.
Debate", which refers to each other's use of certain reasons to explain their own opinions on things or problems, and expose each other's contradictions, so as to obtain a common understanding and opinion in the end. It can be seen that the value of debate is probably not to persuade the other side, still less to unify different understandings, but to make the truth clearer and clearer, to seek common ground while reserving differences, and to reach understandings, viewpoints, and positions acceptable to both sides in some aspects.
Silence", which roughly means "not to speak" or "not to like to talk". "Not speaking" does not mean that there is no judgment and choice of different views, it may be the silent opposition to a certain viewpoint and the helplessness that cannot be changed, or it is a tacit approval within a certain limit. "Not talking" does not mean that there is no entanglement and collision of contradictory ideas, it may be the helplessness or anger of disdain to change other people's views; It may also be the frustration and helplessness of not being able to find a way and strategy to abandon the false, evil and ugly and return to the viewpoint and position of truth, goodness and beauty. Debate and silence may seem to be different choices, but they may both be opposition and disapproval in the face of erroneous positions and views, or they may be different ways of adhering to truth and truth.
When writing, we should stand on the premise of "facing different points of view and position", analyze why we adopt two different ways of dealing with "debate" or "silence", and what are the advantages and disadvantages of each; It further elaborates on when and where it is possible to "debate" in front of whom, and under what circumstances it is "silent". Finally, it is necessary to make it clear that "debate" is not to stir up nonsense, but to express one's own position and viewpoint, and "silence" should not be cowardice that does not dare to speak out.
Idea] 1Learn to debate and achieve life.
2.When arguing, we will argue, and when we are silent, we will be silent.
3.Know how to debate and express yourself.
4.Silence is also a counterattack.
Example] The more the reasoning is argued, the clearer it becomes.
1. Candidates. Life is always full of collisions between "differences". Mencius once said: "If things are not even, so are the feelings of things." "It has been argued that unity is the only way to move towards deliberation; There are also those who believe that change is difficult, and it is better to be silent and different. I believe that it is only in the sparks of confrontation that the truth will burst out, and in the face of different views and positions, we should start a debate, and the more we argue, the clearer it will be.
The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates must have adhered to the view that "the more reason is argued, the clearer it becomes". In search of the truth, he often stopped passers-by in the bazaars and on the streets, asking them questions and demanding answers. When dealing with students, he still guides them by asking questions, triggering thinking in "asking" and deepening thinking in "debate". In debate, we do not limit our eyes to our own opinions, but to open our eyes to the opposite. In the process of constantly exploring outward and looking inward, debate forces us to see the strengths of the other person and see our own shortcomings. In this way, we can further improve our cognition, learn from the rough, and spit out the old and embrace the new.
It is true that people have "preconceived" bad habits, and psychologists have also found that people are often only willing to receive the same views from the outside world, and directly block out the voices of discord. There are also many people who are stubborn about themselves, and it is difficult to change their position. But that is not a reason to abandon the debate.
After all, there are only a few stubborn people and those who follow the map. As hard as change is, there are only a minority of people who close themselves off and refuse to change. To deny the whole because of a small number of people, and to simply give up the debate because of a failed debate, is inevitably too pessimistic and too light-hearted. If the other party's position is difficult to change and remain silent, there will be no cultural blending and ideological collision; It is difficult to have a soul and a soul stirring up a ripple; Everyone sits in the well and watches the sky, as if Hebo is like "taking the beauty of the world as his own", but in fact he is smiling and generous.
So, how do we deal with the differences?
The more willing they are to express themselves, the more willing they are to share their thoughts, the more correct they are. They are not afraid of debate, they dare to provoke debate, they dare to accept debate. "Ask the canal to be as clear as promised, for there is a source of living water. "Only by debating from time to time and drawing the freshest nutrients from the minds of others can we keep our thoughts fresh. But at the same time, we should also remember to "seek common ground while reserving differences". The purpose of the debate is to be reasonable, not to pursue the idea of unification of all people. The more reason is argued, the clearer it is to obtain clearer truth and cognition in the confrontation is the ultimate goal, but it cannot be forced on others because of this, and the self-defender will forcefully knock on his brain. How terrible it is to easily fall into the centralization of thought in "1984" if you only seek common ground without reserving differences!
To sum up, in the face of differences, we should have the courage to debate with them, so as to obtain clear facts and fresh thoughts.
