212"If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."
In the competitive society, every individual and organization has been encouraged to make every effort to accomplish worthy goals. However, it is unreasonable to extend this claim to assert that any means adopted to attain these goals is justifiable, even assuming these goals are worthy. In my point of view, worthiness of goals should not be considered regardless of the means and methods to accomplish goals and the adverse consequences. Part of the problem lies in defining what is a worthy goal.
( 为了真正有价值的目标,竭尽全力无可厚非)
There exist some goals which are worthwhile and beneficial for the healthy development of individuals and the whole society. As for one person individuals, receiving good education, possessing an amicable family, acquiring a desirable job and pursuing ultimate success in the career, are indeed worthy goals. In the process of accomplish these goals, trying one's best amounts to the prerequisite of the realization of goals, and多了and 吧 is beneficial for individual to maintain an active attitude when encountering paramount difficulties. Similarly, when it comes to the society, some uniform goals of the whole human beings, such as good quality of life, wealth, happiness, peace and the forth, require restless struggles from one generalization generation 把 to another. Take the Hope Construction in China for example, which aim aims at helping children who are deprived of opportunity of receiving education because of poverty. Every individual, organization and society should make every effort to subsidy subside children in poor areas, in order to accomplish the goal of ensuring the further propensity prosperity吧 of the whole society. 这一段写的不错,分individual 和 society,而且都扣住了worthy 的definition
(实现目标的某些手段是不合理,不合法,甚至侵犯人类道德标准,对他人社会带来不利影响)
On the other hand, there exits some ostensibly worthy goals, the means and methods to accomplish which 加上in fact is illegitimate, illegal or even violating moral standards of the human being. In the realm of politics, some politicians, whose stated goals serve to satisfy the needs of citizens if elected to office, attain their goals by the way of cheating, bribery and the like. In the realm of business, the goals of maximizing profits and minimizing costs are accomplished by illegal means at the expense of social well-beings. For example, some enterprises enhance their economic interests by using inferior raw materials or releasing the poisonous water into riversdirectly into water without processing. In the realm of education, the goal of finishing some treatise is worthy. But some people employ plagiarism, cheating and fabrication to achieve this goal. Moreover, in some medical fields, one of the best effective ways to eradicate a particular disease is to kill all people who suffer from this disease哇,这个老美读了肯定心里咯噔一下,这不就是说AIDS嘛. But this means will be to violating fundamental moral standard of human beings违反道德的例子很多比如医学里面的科隆人器官等. As what is stated above, people should pay much attention to the inappropriate means which may be detrimental to others when they reach their own worthy goals.
(盲目去实现一些片面的目标,会在大的方面带来不利甚至有害的影响)
Besides, blindly accomplish some one-sided goals may incur harmful and adverse consequences, and even disasters in a large scope. One of the compelling examples is the deteriorating natural surroundings. The clear-cutting of rainforests, pollution of air and rivers, destruction of ozone layer of Antarctica, and the like are resulted from environmental pollution and over-developed natural resources in the efforts of human beings to attain so-called scientific and technological development and economic interests. Nowadays, people have been savoring the bitter fruit planted by their own. 这里举的例子是环境受到污染的例子.我觉得为了突出worth,可以对比人类通过破坏环境得到的利益, 和为了保护环境换所付出的cost,来证明
In conclusion, nobody could deny people’s tremendous efforts to reach truly worthy goals for the benefits of individuals and the whole society. However, it is unjustifiable to accomplish “worthy” goals regardless of inappropriate or detrimental means and correspondingly adverse consequences. |
