Topic composition - "Motive and Effect" Content: 1. Understand the philosophical meaning and dialectical relationship of "Motive and Effect": [Motive and Effect] reflects the relationship between subjective desires and objective consequences in people's practical activities The philosophical category of the interrelationship between. Motivation belongs to the subjective category and refers to the subjective desire or intention that controls people to carry out certain activities. It is the direct cause of people's activities. Effect belongs to the objective category and reflects the objective consequences produced by people's practice according to certain motives. Regarding the relationship between motivation and effect, there have been three views in the history of philosophy: one is motivation theory. That is, one-sided emphasis on the role of motivation, denying or ignoring the importance of effects. The main representatives include Dong Zhongshu in the Han Dynasty of China and Immanuel Kant of Germany in the 19th century. The other is consequentialism. That is, one-sided emphasis on the role of effects, denying or ignoring the importance of motivation. The main representatives include Yan Yuan in the Qing Dynasty of China, Bentham and Mill in Britain in the 17th century. The third is the theory of unity of motivation and effect. It advocates that human activity is a process of unity of motivation and effect, but its dialectical understanding often falls into idealism due to the lack of practical basis. The main representatives include Hegel in 19th century Germany. Marxist philosophy overcomes the one-sidedness of motivation theory and effect theory, inherits the reasonable core of the idealist theory of unity of motivation and effect, and scientifically expounds the dialectical relationship between motivation and effect. Dialectical materialism believes that motivation is the action guide for effects. Any human behavior is caused by a certain motivation, and there is no unmotivated activity. No matter what people do, their activities themselves contain the expectation and pursuit of a certain effect and purpose. As long as you are a normal person, your behavior will be governed by motivation. At the same time, the effect is the action manifestation of motivation. Any effect is achieved through certain practical activities under the control of a certain motivation. The basis for the unity of motivation and effect is practice. Human motivation is generated in practice, developed in practice, and transformed from motivation to effect in practice. The quality of motivation and the quality of its effects can only be given a final and objective answer through practical testing. Generally speaking, motivation and effect are consistent. Good motivation will get good effect, and bad motivation will get bad effect. However, due to the influence of subjective and objective complex factors, inconsistencies between motives and effects often occur. Good motives produce bad results, or bad motives produce good results, which is what people often say "backfires." Therefore, when judging and doing anything, we must look at both motivation and effect, and unify the two. This requires that when people think and solve problems, they can neither rely on motivation alone without asking about the effect, nor can they only ask about the effect without looking at the motivation. Instead, they should strive to make the effect consistent with the motivation on the premise of determining a good motivation. When motivations and effects are inconsistent, we must dare to face reality, carefully sum up experience, and on the basis of practice, correct motivations that are inconsistent with the objective and practices that cannot achieve good results, so as to truly achieve the dialectical unity of motivations and effects. 2. Writing guidance: When writing, you should closely focus on the relationship between "motivation and effect". You can quote fables, historical figures, and historical events to talk about the connection between the two, and how to deal with the relationship between the two. Relationships allow it to achieve harmony and unity; you can also express your views on this topic in conjunction with your own life experiences. When encountering good motives without good results, how we should treat them correctly is also a question worth thinking about. The article must have the correct ideological tendency. If it is written with bad motives, it will not achieve good results. 3. Refining arguments: ① Good motivations get good results, bad motivations get bad results. ②Good motives produce bad results or bad motives produce good consequences, which is what people often say "backfires". ③When judging and doing anything, you must look at both the motivation and the effect, and unify the two. ④When people think and solve problems, they strive to make the effect consistent with their motivation. ⑤ When motivations and effects are inconsistent, we must dare to face reality, carefully sum up experience, and on the basis of practice, correct motivations that are inconsistent with the objective and practices that cannot achieve good results, so as to truly achieve the dialectical unity of motivations and effects. 4. Related arguments (pay attention to idioms and sayings): ① A cartoon: Catching mice - In order to get rid of a mouse on the roof, someone took a long pole and poked at the ceiling randomly, which took a lot of effort. , sweating a lot, but the end result was just poking holes one after another in the roof of the shed, but the mouse still couldn't catch it. ② Motivation is the idea that drives people to engage in a certain behavior; effect is the result produced by a certain force, practice or factor. There are nothing more than four kinds of relationships between the two: good motives produce good results; good motives have no good results; bad motives produce good results; bad motives have no good results. We always have a motive to do things, hoping to achieve good results, hoping to get twice the result with half the effort instead of half the result with half the effort. It is naturally the most ideal state for good motivation to produce good results. But things are not that simple, "If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will form shade." Sometimes "motivation" and "effect" are not directly proportional. Sometimes good motivation may not produce good results. This is what we usually call good intentions doing bad things. Therefore, a good starting point is not everything. To make it fully effective, using simple methods to achieve high-quality and efficient results is the key. "Motive" should speak through "effect". ★Related famous sayings and aphorisms: ●Do twice the result with half the effort and do twice the result with half the effort.

●"The flowers planted intentionally will not bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally will provide shade" ●Do bad things with good intentions●"One mistake will lead to eternal hatred" ★Related historical events and their discussion (pay attention to historical events): Qin Shihuang, who was infamous for his construction of the Great Wall, Wasn't it originally designed and constructed with the good intention of keeping the enemy at bay and protecting the country? However, when the Great Wall was almost completed, the life of the Qin Dynasty was also almost done. It was that unprecedented "Proletarian Cultural Revolution". I believe that hundreds of millions of simple Chinese people participated with sincerity and pious beliefs. Everyone hopes that China will implement complete Marxism-Leninism. Except for reactionaries with ulterior motives, no one has ever thought of pushing China's economy to the brink of collapse.

However, when the movement developed to the point of almost madness, it spawned "big connections", "big seizures of power", etc.
