91”Most people think that their deeply held values are the result of rational choice, but reason often has little to do with the way people form values.”

Nowadays there increasingly arises much concern about whether reason plays a role in people forming values or not. As the assertion presented by speaker that most people think that their deeply held values are the result of rational choice, but reason often has little to do with the way people form values. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the deeply believed values are the result of rational choice by people as well as their ancestors.

First of all, in the face of different values, people tend to choose one by considering thoroughly and reasonably. One popular example involves people’s rational choice toward the 9.11 terrorism. When the Taliban government proposed and spread the value of terrorism by attacking the Pentagon building, the Americans as well as all other peace-lovers stood out to excoriate the terrorisms with their cold-blooded and brutal terrors. Undeniably, most people chose peace rather than terrorism by reasonable thought. Accordingly, it is via people’ rational, logical, and prudential choice that determine to accept or reject the values newly emerged.

Some may argue that most of people’ deeply held values are chiefly instilled by education, and are profoundly influenced by their own culture. This specious argument demonstrates that people’ values are primarily determined by culture rather than their own choice. Nevertheless, where did these values deprive? Why are they cherished and selected to preserve? The only answer is that all these deeply held values are the reasonable choice by not only our ancestors, but also our modern people. Just take a look into America history, one need look no further to find that without Washington’s rational choice of independence and democracy, or Lincoln’s reasonable choice of equality, or Martin Luther King’s wise choice against racial discrimination, these value as freedom, democracy, and equality would not be so deeply rooted in American’s mind. Consequently, the values that are commonly taken over world such as peace, democracy, love, cooperation and so on, are the very choice of our ancestors and are passed down from a generation to generation.

Some other people in favor of speaker’s assertion may claim that there are also many values determined by the external forces, such as laws, which are beyond people’s free choice. I concede that indeed, every country has carried out a series of various laws for its citizens to abide by in order to assure the stability of society. However, if only one remembered the failure of Prohibition during the 1930s, and more recently, failed federal legislation to regulate access to adult material via the Internet, as well as the innumerable rules and regulations under continuous amending in order to adapt the updated situations, may he or she clearly realize that it is also people’s reasonable consideration to decision which law is feasible to carry out, which law should be edited, and even which law should be abandoned. In short, once people sensibly chose such valuable values as peace, democracy apart from violence and anarchy, a series of systematic and reasonable laws are another desirable rational choice of people, including the values embodied in the laws.

In sum, from the full discussion offered above, we may draw the persuasive conclusion that people’ deeply held values are actually the result of their rational choice, no matter the values imparted by education and preserved by culture, or the values apparently determined by laws, as a matter of fact, all these values are the richness of our entire human legacy chosen, preserved and passed down by one generation to another.

我的思路：
观点：人们的价值是理性选择的结果。
1，当面对不同价值时，人们通过理性思考进行选择。
2，反驳价值由文化和教育决定的观点。
3，反驳价值由外力决定的观点。

谢谢各位！

91”Most people think that their deeply held values are the result of rational choice, but reason often has little to do with the way people form values.”

This specious argument demonstrates that people’ values are primarily determined by culture rather than their own choice. Nevertheless, where did these values deprive? Why are they cherished and selected to preserve? The only answer（用“有且仅有一个答案”如何。呵呵） is that all these deeply held values are the reasonable choice by not only our ancestors, but also our modern people.

IVY的例子总是不错，忽然让我想到了HAPPYMAN，呵呵。
写得不错。不过还是有一点没有懂，你第三段是在论证他是自己的选择吗？是不是和论点有差异啊。如果是我理解错了，希望你讲一下。如果不是，那这个问题就比较严重了。

谢谢genie05！
“如果有可能考虑某些盛行的错误的思想如何？”我暂时还没有想到耶！不过该怎么论证呢？例如，金钱至上的观点，肯定不能说它是人们的理性选择，那就和我的观点矛盾了。或者说大多数人拒绝这个错误的观点，不错！

“不过还是有一点没有懂，你第三段是在论证他是自己的选择吗？是不是和论点有差异啊。”
对啊，因为我的论点就是value is the result of people's rational choice. 很多人认为人们的value由社会环境和文化决定，所以我用社会和文化的value其实也是一代又一代人choose and perserve的来说明最终value还是有人们自己决定。
呵呵，不知道我说明白了没有？

以下省略...... [/B]

第一个的例子我也没有想到什么好的，不过当时一下的感觉而已:)

关于第二个当时我不是很理解，我本来想的是人的观念是通过自己的。。。。不过你说的是人类，不局限于一个人是吧：）
呵呵。

现在了解了。

我的意见：
整体来说很不错。
第一段论证有点单薄，正面论证应该更充分一点。
第二段很不错，特别是那些例子非常好。
第三点很明显例子参考了范文，但是最好用自己的语言表达。
我觉得法律既体现了社会的价值，有同时是对社会公认的价值的一种保障。
