TOPIC: ISSUE212 - "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
如果这个目标是值得的,那么达到目标的任何手段都是可以的。
前半句分析
值得——何谓值得,对于同一件事worthy的标准,不同的人不同的理解。
出国读书,为的是追求理想追求学术上更高的成就,那么付出的代价都是值得的。所以图书馆整夜不熄灯,起早贪黑的生活对他们而言都是值得,甚至是值得骄傲的。
对于同样一件事,有些人就觉得他们不切实际,崇洋媚外,特别是对发展中国家去发达国家,他们认为这个目标太遥不可及,还不如好好找份工作来的踏实
同样是值得,恐怖袭击者认为用少数几个人的生命来震撼整个世界是值得的,可以让他们的声音被全世界所重视。
而大多数人认为这是不值得甚至是令人鄙视的行为。
以上两例的区别在于社会价值观是否认为值得。
那社会大环境的认可标准又是什么呢?
不违反moralðics, 没有给社会造成动荡。那么就是值得的,就可以用任何手段去实现它,前提是任何手段都confine to the moral and ethnic standards.(刚刚改人家的文章,发觉了一个显而易见的思维漏洞,any means显然是有问题的,就比如考试作弊,大环境下没有任何问题,但不代表就可以用作弊的手段)而且凡事确实应该竭尽全力去实现。
反之,如果社会舆论认为是不值得的,那么必须要采取可行的手段来完成这个目标。必要时也可能否掉这个目标。这就是为什么internation whales commission上的scandal必须被揭露出来的原因。
结论,这个目标如果值得,任何手段都可以。前提是,社会大环境认可它的价值,认为它值得。
TOPIC: ISSUE212 - "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
It is not an easy task to claim the worthiness of one goal. Different people may have different attitudes and evaluations towards the same thing, and thus, the "if...then" statement needs a thorough and systematical consideration.
In China, what people rarely saw in the past is becoming a popular phenomenon, that is the exodus of Chinese students exuding abroad. Some seniors claim it's unwise and is a waste of time and money, some even disprize them, describe them as brats with no pragmatism, patriotism but escapism. However, the scene of lucubration in libraries is not rare, especially with these students as heroes and heroines. Getting up at six everyday to guarantee a seat in the carol, and then begins their whole day with a bumpy and busy schedule. IELTS, TOFEL and GRE, which may seem hurdles at the beginning cost their perspiration, but that’s worthy since they are marching forward their aspiration by clearing these obstacles step by step. Thus, personal ideology determines the value of his or her goal, ignoring the others eulogy or critique.
Terrorism is another instance which aptly illustrates the standard of worthiness. Terrorists view terrorism itself valuable and impressive by sacrificing lives of several individuals to bombast the whole world, so as to make their voices being heard, which may bears sufficient significance to them. However, most ordinary people, like you and me, condemn such disastrous behavior, which are not only irresponsible to lives but interrupt the peace and stability people cherished for a long time, without claiming its unworthiness.
What's the difference between the two examples above? Have you figure out the standard of worthiness? Personally speaking, it depends on social ethics and morality. If it does not counter to regulations, rules and laws set by our society, the master have all vagaries to realize his goal and he should try every means to achieve it. Whereas one's goal can be accomplished by fermenting social unrest, threatening others' rights, or other vandalism, it can only helplessly face its aftermath: being absolutely cut off and forbidden. The exposure of Japan's bribery in the IWC (International Whales Commission), is a good way to enunciate this. Shrouded by scientific research, Japan actually hunting and killing whales aiming at commercial use. They even bribe officials of small countries at IWC for pros of such massacre. However proper their excuses seem to be, it violates morality and merits a deep punch.
Further, as I just put it, one should try every means to attain his or her dream as long as it's confined to social standards. For instance, the great author of two thousand miles under the sea, Verne, who had tried 16 presses to sell his writing, but all failed. He deplored and even set one foot into the fires when his wife discovered and saved him. Then, he spurred up and came across his headhunter, who is quite appreciated at his novels, at his 17th try. But any means and methods toward one's mecca should also have limitations, the word "any" cannot be reckless and unscrupulous, instead, they are bondaged and restricted in a moral range. Say, had Japan harbored a reasonabe statement to kill whales, the beauties and bucks are noble ways that deserved our applause? Absolutly not!
Thus, if you have made a goal, the first thing you need to do is evaluate its properties, to testify whether it conforms to social morality and ethics. And then, use every method and all your energy to achieve this goal.
