Are politics and morality two separate realms? Surely they are. But it will be a more mature attitude to treat they [them] as two different realms with close relationships. They are just like mouth and teeth –[--] separating from each other while also depending on each other.
To begin with, let us take a look towards their similarities[后面讲得好像不是相同点] (relationship). Politics with the cloth of state power, policies and tactics, has a very tight relationship with morality which often takes a certain kind of religion or belief as its form. In many occasions, politics and morality cannot be divided exactly. For intense [instance], people in the western society almost believe in the Christianity. So the governments there usually take the doctrines of the Christianity as moral norms to confine people's ideas for the sake of carrying out their government decrees more smoothly. While in China, many people join the Communist Party, then the government would rather dominate people with the doctrines of Communism. Hence, it is easy to find that such two realms are mutually dependent [on each other] if only the cooperation could do good to the development and prosperity of society as well as its stability [最后这个句子限定的有点武断。政治和道德的关系更多的是为统治阶层服务,不一定就是为了社会繁荣。]. (Hence, it is clear that such two realms are mutually dependent on each other. To be more exactly, morality is often an instrument handed by the government to solidify its domination and safeguard the stability of society as well as its prosperity. 这样如何?)
However, in actual practice, the great divergence of such two realms emerges. In a simple word, morality is steady, whereas politics is changeful. That is, morality, which is displayed as moral standard, is often handed down from thousands of years ago so that it has more stability than politics. On the contrary, politics, which should be well understood as the state power or policy, is highly complicated and changeable according to the behalf of every separate country and the different demands in different circumstance. For instance, there are only several kinds of religion form such as Christianity, Muslim [这个是回教徒,伊斯兰教是Islam/Islamism], Buddhism and so on[这个例子举的不好,因为现在世界上各种各样奇怪的信仰每时每刻都在新增。举个例子吧,2002年在阿根廷出现了“马拉多纳”教。至少要加上限定才行]. All of them have been existing [直接用existed] for thousands of years and will change a little if there is any. [这个观点我极度怀疑。中国的人们大多不信教可能会这么想,但是美国的判卷老师一定对于基督教从创始至今经历的巨大的变动历程非常熟悉。其他各教派也一样。] While as for politics, the political situation changes from time to time in that there is too much competition [are too many competitions,这个词只有做“竞争者”的时候才不可数] (哦!记下来了。) and interests struggle among the [去掉the] countries. Allies may turn into enemies, and adversaries may also become cooperators. No one can (Anyone cannot,呵呵) forebode what would change in the next minute[挺武断的哦]. Seeing [去掉更好] from this angle, it is obvious that politics and morality are two separate realms.[我个人不赞同这一段的观点,感觉没有说服力。两个事物要说明其分离,应该从关系上说;要说明其不同,应从其本质上说。选的角度是变和不变,不太赞同。](想了想,儒家思想怎么样?自从孔子创立它以来,儒家思想就是中国历代政权青睐的对象。经历了几千年,其精髓仍然没有大的变化,可是那些利用它的人却打着它的幌子,采取各种手段来达到自己的目的。好像又说晕了,看来这个分论点是要好好想想。)
Furthermore, another great difference between politics and morality is that the former is pragmatic while the latter is idealistic. The interesting relationship [这个词后面应该跟between … and] of the United States and China is a case in point. It is known to all that the United States is always averse to the condition of the human rights in China. Some of national policies of China such as the birth control are cited as the proof of Chinese government’s autocracy. While in plenty of international affairs, it would rather choose China as its partner because of China’s extensive political influence and strong political power[是不是应该换过来说,先说实力再说影响力](好的). In a sense, morality is just an idealistic and necessary fiction which is used by a state power to limit its people’s minds and fulfill its political goals. When facing with realistic profit, those moral standards are so frail to be broken out and cast away. Only when it really masters the core spirit of politics and morality, can a government or a politician be effective to protect the stability of its [or his] country and lead its [or his] people forward to the more prosperous society.
All in a word, with a deeper and wider [broader?] (right!) comprehension to politics and morality, people should understand that the attitudes [用单数] to take them as two isolate realms or a whole are both [is only] one-sided. To be a wise and mature observer and commentator towards the two realms, people should be aware of their difference as well as relation[ship/relations].
又是持我一贯的中庸态度,大家看看怎样?
借鉴了smilehaha家那位牛爸爸的思路!
[写的挺好的了。不过body2的观点我不赞同。Body3很难写到实处,不过你写的还不错。
Body1,2是否都将道德和宗教信仰联系的过多了?其实是不可同一而语的。你认为宗教是道德的载体之一没有什么大的问题,但是完全取代,不太可取](你说的对,我的思路的确局限了,body2需要大手术。呵呵,主要是比较懒,看到smile的爸爸说的很有道理,就一股脑挪过来了。)
(嘿嘿,最喜欢看needleMM改的文章了,详尽无比,殚心竭虑之作啊!感动ing……) |
