43,我也写了一篇,大家也帮我看看吧,尽管打击我给个分吧,我有心理准备的。
People are more likely to accept the leadership of those who maintain the highest ethical and moral standards. However, in my view it is somewhat fastidious for us to put such a request on them.
To begin with, the highest ethical and moral standards themselves are variable in different areas and different times. As a British writer said: “morality is the custom of one’s country, cannibalism is moral in a cannibal country.” Condition in China is a good example to illustrate the ideal. As we know, China is a big country with 56 nations and different nations have distinct customs. In this case, something that is considered moral in certain nations would be not conformed to moral standards of another nation. Besides, the ethical and moral standards are changed with society developing. For instance, at the beginning of the country being established, Chinese people value the merit of frugality, leaders were venerable for they also led frugal lives like their populace. But now, with the development of economy in China, most people agree that as a leader who contribute so much to his\her field and sometimes stand for the whole country should enjoy a live with much higher material level than the common people. Therefore, form those instances, we can see that it is unfairly for us to request the public offical to maintain the highest ethical and moral standards all the time when the standards themselves can’t keep consistent.
Another point we should considered is just like what the American president Benjamin Franklin once said : “ In almost every face and every person, they may discover fine feathers and defects, good and bad quanlities.” Undeniable, the public official, no matter what job he\she takes, President or Prime Minister, is a common person who can never achieve perfect in every aspect. Moreover, problems in ethic and morality are concerned more with one’ private live rather than public affairs which have wider influence on people around. Even if as a public offical, one has the right to chose the way he\she likes to live as long as his\her behaviors would not bring about negative effect to the society.
In addition, what is the most important quality we expect a public offical to possess? The highest ethical and moral standards or the ability to gover a country, to bring about stable social condition, to promote rapid progress of economy? Obviously, almost all people’ answer is the latter. A public offical whose main duty is to manage a department or a country needn’t take pains to become the personification of ethic and morality of the public. many other people are more suitable than public officals to take the task such as teachers, clerks and philosophers. However, for pubic officals, who play a different role in the society, What they should always remind thenmselves is to bring the greatest benefit to the country and its people. For instance, in order to protect the interests of the country, governors sometimes launch wars. As a result, they are surely considered as going against the moral standards by people who suffer from wars. However, we can’t deny they are eligible leaders of the country and do good for most people in the country.
Admittedly, a public offical has great influence on the common people and it is necessary for them to maintain a higher ethic and morality standards to gain the esteem and work much more efficiently. However, the public also should never treat public officals with a tolerant heart.
我觉得这个和169还有一点不同, 这篇文章我基本上反对的,但是169我觉得是应该要强调政治和道德的相关性,好像不怎么好写了 |
