Is it acceptable to take any means to achieve certain goals? Maybe from the goal itself it is worthy. However, the author ignored the preconditions underlying the goals that without which his assertion is unsounded.
Firstly, we should define what the term 'worthy' exactly mean? to(To) have value or worth is the explanation by dictionary. If we want a deeper understanding, in fact worthy is a conclusion, a conclusion after weighing the prons and nons of a particular goal. According to this, the author's statement sounds(少个形容词) in some cases: a rocket, whose life-long goal is sending a satellite into space, might destroy itself during the task. But it is worthwhile, (这里的逗号可以不要吧)for his final destination is that, any means-including the destruction of himself is justifiable.个人感觉放火箭的例子没有必要,因为都是讲人,在下面那段中可以在学生的两种情况中讲值得或者不值得
However, when it comes to man things will be different. Unlike robot or rocket, all of our goals are temporal, serving for further improvements. For example a student may certainly thinks a high score as his goal, but his final destination is surely not a score but a promising future or things like that. Then we must take some preconditions that might nullify our temporal goals; if the 'any means' destroy these regulations, the goal itself would be meaningless. Again let’s look at the example, a student going after a better score, if taking any means-as the author asserted(asserts不用过去时吧), might get a higher score. But if he was found to be cheating, his scores-though might be high-are useless, and the discredit(discreditable) behavior itself will bring much more difficulty in his future life. So, when talking about a goal, we should first recognize these preconditions and make a(an) estimation whether 'any means' is acceptable.
Unfortunately, the price of these 'any means' is so great that we can not afford. In these cases, by re-evaluate the risk of the means and the preconditions, most of the time, regulating our behavior in rational realms is worthy. A typical example for this is Nixon, who announced his abdication because the Water Gate Scandal. Considering the trivial benefit and the risk of his means that against the law, we would find how unwise his choice is. If given another chance, Nixon would never do things like that again. However, no one can force the pace of time back, leaving only regret for him.好句子! Therefore, if we want to get further progress and improvements, we must not destroy the preconditions of our goal, in these cases, any means are irrational.对个人的影响
What's more, theory has shown that 'any means' not only hurt our own behaviors but do harm to the community. In Nash's Game Theory, a vital conclusion is that in the process that去掉 everyone searching benefits, together the whole will get little money. To demonstrate it, some companies will discharge toxic effluvia that do harm to our environment and health during the manufacturing process, If one of these companies pay no money to the disposal of toxic effluvia, it would undoubtedly make more money than others and becomes more competitive. However, when others find this, for survival they have to keep pace with this company and neglect the importance of environmental protection too. If not, because of the money consumed in disposal of the wastes, their products will be higher in price and(应该用or吧,应该是属于alternative) lower in profits. Therefore, all the companies-if they want to survive-would pay no attention to environment. In the long term, this will surely bring more detrimental effect and finally all these companies will have fewer profits. This is the direct result when the 'any means' are allowed. Therefore, even from the profits of a larger scale, extreme means for profits is more of a curse than a bless. The only way to solve this is regulate our behavior in acceptable realms.对社会的影响
To sum up, because all human's goals are temporal, serving for further improvements, before we choose these 'any means', we should consider the preconditions and re-evaluate the prons and nons. In fact, in these cases, either from our own benefits or from the whole society, any means is irrational. 你的思路是先看事物值不值any means => 有可能对个人的影响 => 有可能对社会的影响? 如果是这样,是不是把第一意群段放在最后面 作为解决方法比较好 另外小白问题:prons and nons 啥意思,我没有查到。。。 |
