Admittedly, honesty is a necessary and fundamental character of human being. However, considering the specific position and task that political leader holds, I tend to agree with that some moment not to tell truth is essential and the single choice for a political leader but disagree complete honesty is not a useful virtue.
To begin with, political leader who has honest personality and manage s to maintain the great moral lever is more possible to gain great reputations and is easier to call for the public to do something together for his country or nation. Such as George Washington who lead(led) the United States to achieved(achieve) independence from English Authority, and Gandhi who initiated a non-violence movement in India and gained supporting from most of Indians and people from other countries. Another fit example is the eternal Chinese premier of Zhou, who contributed his life to his motherland. He kept great moral standard almost through his life, especially when he was appointed as a large country's premier as we familiar with.(有点不通) He had won unparalleled respect and admire (admiration) from all Chinese people. After his death, the United Nation decided to low the flag to memorize this effective premier. Even if we can conclude that high moral standards including honesty as a basic virtue do help political lead to do his job more effectively, we can not confirm that the preserved honesty is not essential. (需要强调这些政治家如何靠诚实取得了大家的支持, 而不是套现成的名人句子)
To continue with, there is some time when the honesty can not account for all the effectiveness. In other words, it is inevitable to use vague word instead of the frank honesty. Under certain circumstance, the leader may need to use diplomat pretext to deal with his opponents and sustain a stable public opinion towards some sensitive problems. If he does not preserve the essential fact, he may be rejected by opponents who keep sensitive about his shortcoming or ailments all the time, so he can not executive his function and achieve his goal in time. To administrate the government more effectively, he must choose some facts preserved to ensure his behavior is valid and benefit for his nation as well as for his people other than satisfies his own taste, which is the prerequisite for he delayed to tell truth. 这段讲的不错啊,挺有逻辑的
To support it, I take Roosevelt Delano, the president of USA in World War Two, for example. When the Great Britain and France confronted with Hitler Germany in danger of extinction, some councilors in USA refused the suggestion that the USA should dispatch its army to fight against Hitler in Europe. Its contemporary president Roltsvel displayed a military map scripted by Germany, which indicated that the next military goal of Germany was the USA. So he succeeded to convince his opponents the coming peril of the United States, as a result the USA took part in the World War Two and we got a peaceful world much earlier than expected. In fact, the vital military map is not true, but we can not condemn Roosevelt Delano did not tell the truth because he had no choice when facing the stubborn councilors, but really felt lucky to have a sensible and wit(wise) president. 这个事例,偶不知道.学了:)
In conclusion, honesty does help to gain support from the public, but the complete honesty sometimes can not take effect on the emergence things. Therefore, an occasional pretext or delayed truth may be carried out effectively for a broader benefit. We can not take that complete honesty is not effective virtue as a pretext to do the illegitimate things. (这句话用的有问题,不知对否?)[ 可以用 we should not acquire every politician to be honesty completely for it is unrealistic, nevertheless, neither should the unrealistic of complete honest be a pretext for them to do any illegitimate things. ] |
