Please note to the opposing debater that the topic of our debate today is whether white lies impede integrity, not whether lies impede integrity.

First of all, "Modern Chinese Dictionary" explains "lie" as untrue words, which are obviously neutral in emotional color. Lying for different purposes will lead to completely different results: deceiving people with cunning and treacherous means for the purpose of harming others and benefiting oneself. It is malicious fraud and will inevitably lead to the loss of social morality and disorder of order. Another kind of hiding the true situation for the purpose of benefiting others is good-faith concealment, which will make the relationship more harmonious and the society more harmonious. Therefore, good-faith concealment and malicious fraud are very different from motivation to result and cannot be confused. When a poor mother leaves her only food to her children while hiding the fact that she is still hungry, do you still accuse the kind and noble maternal love of being "dishonest"?

Second, what is “integrity”? Honesty and trustworthiness. The ancients have long advocated "sincerity" and "trustworthiness", emphasizing the consistency of words and deeds, the unity of knowledge and action; the principle of integrity requires people to consciously abide by the law, be sincere and trustworthy. But none of them simply requires people to tell the truth 100%. It is extremely terrifying to tell the truth regardless of the situation: Can you tell the enemy all our military intelligence during the war? Can you reveal your trade secrets to your opponents in the market? Therefore, since the principle of good faith does not mean simplistic 100% truth, concealment in good faith when necessary will not conflict with the principle of good faith.

Third, white lies are a correct and friendly way of doing things, and their motives, purposes and results are all consistent with "integrity". The significance of promoting integrity in society is to cultivate people's noble moral sentiments, establish mutual trust among people, and create positive interactions for mutual benefit. And those white lies full of kindness and compassion are used to make relationships more harmonious, life warmer, and society more harmonious. More harmonious. "The way of a university ends with perfection." Out of the same good intentions, the two are closely unified. To sum up, let me reiterate our point of view:

First, lies are divided into malicious fraud and well-intentioned concealment based on their essential differences, and the two cannot be confused.

Second, "integrity" does not mean 100% truthfulness without specific analysis. Under certain circumstances, good-faith concealment is indispensable.

Third, white lies are consistent with the principle of good faith from purpose to result.

Therefore, we believe that white lies do not hinder integrity.

Hello, host and judges!

I am very happy to express my opinion today on whether white lies undermine integrity. The following is our view:

There is no doubt that a white lie itself is a lie. Lies, lying is deception, deception is immoral, and immoral things are unpopular. These are all things our teachers have taught us since childhood. But we ask ourselves, who has never told a lie? Whether it is for our relatives, friends, or strangers, there are many purposes, but when we add a "goodwill" to a lie, it seems that everyone may accept it. This is a concentrated expression of the weakness of human nature.

Mark Twain once said: "When you can't make up your mind, tell the truth. It will embarrass your opponents and relieve your friends." Therefore, psychology The opinion of academic experts is: Don’t lie easily, even if it’s a white lie.

However, the first defense of the affirmative did not discuss that white lies and honesty are contradictory. How can we directly conclude that white lies will definitely relieve the duty of good faith?

Please note that the opponent’s defense team has clearly stated in the first defense that lies themselves should have the function of deceiving, and only malicious lies are based on deception. Please do not narrow the extension of the concept of “lie”.

Please post the fourth argument of the affirmative; (Author: Zhang Xuan September 25, 09:47)

[Effective]:

Please pay attention to the other debaters, there are big omissions in your defense. We believe that when distinguishing things, we should first start with the definition. Based on the definition of Kangxi Dictionary, a white lie is to seek truth without facts, to tell lies, to exaggerate, to cover up, and to distort the truth. Let’s start with the analysis of the phrase structure of white lies. It is a biased phrase, and the central word is lie. Therefore, white lies are essentially lies. Although the motives of white lies are good intentions, because good intentions themselves have certain uncertainties, they are often exploited by some "professional liars" - this is an indisputable fact. "Lies" themselves are dark. The likes and dislikes of things cannot be measured by their purpose. White lies themselves are lies. Although he took off his beggar's clothes and put on a cheongsam, he still couldn't get rid of the essence of lies, and lies mean deception, thus hindering integrity. The starting point of a white lie is good, but often once such a lie is exposed, it will hurt the other party more deeply. As a lie itself, it is an act contrary to integrity.

In the 20-word code of ethics proposed in the "Implementation Outline for Citizen Morality Construction" promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "integrity" is a very important code. Integrity is the pursuit of "truth" and the pursuit of integrity. justice. The ancients said that "the true one" is the most sincere person. If you are not refined or sincere, you cannot move people.

As General Secretary Hu Jintao said in his speech: "The harmonious socialist society we want to build should be democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, integrity and friendliness, full of vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature. society.

”

Through the above-mentioned multi-faceted analysis, we believe that no matter whether a lie has a good purpose or not, as a lie it will definitely hinder integrity. (Author: Jiang Wenhong, September 25, 09:49)

Please post from the four opposing sides; (Author: Zhang Xuan, September 25, 09:50)

[Opposition]:

White lies and honesty are different categories of moral norms and will not conflict, just like a car will not hit a plane.

Integrity: letter, "letter" and "faith" in Chinese culture. "Righteousness" constitutes "faithfulness", which is a humanistic spirit and a criterion for life. "Truthfulness" is connected with "sincerity" to form the moral norm of "honesty", which is a rare product. The sages of modern Western jurisprudence proposed the concept of "contract society" The concept is that all relationships between people are contractual relationships. In such a society, integrity is the bottom line of social morality. After my country establishes a market economy, it is necessary to establish a standardized and orderly market, and integrity has become the most important. Therefore, "integrity" in the modern sense is the moral code for market operation.

White lies, all kinds of white lies are to protect the other party's emotions from the starting point and the result. Maintaining the other person's mental health and happiness is a humanistic spirit. Because of the existence of white lies, the world becomes better, warmer, and more harmonious. The world will be full of love and sunshine, children will grow up healthily, and the elderly will enjoy it. In old age, patients are full of hope.

So these are two different moral principles that will not conflict with each other, and white lies will not hinder integrity.

Please pay attention to the fact that it is a lie! Why lie?

Although lies are in good faith, they are contrary to integrity. Whether a lie has a good purpose, it will definitely hinder integrity.

Looking back at the national spirit, it turns out that integrity is still there despite thousands of years of dim light. You can clearly hear: Integrity is the virtue of the Chinese nation, just like the Great Wall is the symbol of the Chinese nation. If a person loses integrity, what he leaves behind is hypocrisy: if a company loses integrity, it will face bankruptcy; and if a nation loses integrity, it will be. To corruption and death!

If you keep your word, you will have a pure land. If you keep your word, you will succeed. If you keep your word, the Chinese nation will be eternal.

So-called white lies may also lead to unforeseen consequences. He also gave an example: A person is terminally ill. In order to allow him to spend the rest of his life peacefully, his relatives and friends unanimously hide it from him. There is absolutely no malice or self-interest in this, but it often fails to satisfy people's expectations and the deception cannot last long. On the contrary, the patient loses the rationality to cooperate with treatment and the opportunity to deal with personal affairs. The female philosopher Sisela Polk warned that such lies will put people on the verge of a major decline in personality. She wrote in her book "Lying, Moral Choices in Public and Private Life": "The psychological barriers disappear, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood becomes more blurred, and the concept of believing that lies cannot be detected may tend to Paranoid." Some psychologists who have studied the phenomenon of lying suggest that before anyone wants to tell some "white lies" to friends, relatives, or colleagues, it is best to carefully consider an issue involving psychological reactions, that is, if the other party After knowing the truth, will I be grateful for your kindness, or will I feel that my long-term trust in you has been hurt by you?

The opponent’s opponent has admitted the existence of white lies. Relatives and friends will not affect the treatment. In fact, they are for better treatment. Stress will only affect the condition. A mother divorced her husband. The child was still ignorant at the time. The mother told the child that your father is a sailor and is abroad now. He will come back in a few days. The child is full of expectations for life and has never been distressed or felt inferior because of the lack of a member of his family - his father. Later, the mother scored twice, found a new husband, and established a new family, so she said to her child: Your father has come back from abroad. As a result, there is no barrier between the child and his father, and they share the same love as father and son. The father treats the child as his own because he does not see anyone else. Give your children daily tutoring so that they can grow up healthily and become students in prestigious universities. One day, when the child graduated from college, she finally found out that her father was not her biological father. Although she cried and was distressed that she had been deceived, she would eventually understand that her mother was right to do this, otherwise she would not There will be no happy childhood, no healthy psychology, no good academic achievements, no happy family, no...

“White lies are more of excuses”!

Anyone who uses an excuse is trying to use it to protect themselves or others. Help us save face so we can endure setbacks.

Gaismer said: "It is quite common to think that you are better than you really are." The excuses people come up with are sometimes unexpected. Why do people deceive themselves and others? American humorist Lai Dele pointed out: "Most people do not live in reality, but live in fantasies, especially fantasies about themselves." Then again, it is sometimes difficult to understand the truth about yourself and your friends. It's very cruel, and it's best not to know about it.

However, most excuses are destructive. Using excuses unconsciously can fool yourself, if not others.

So I ask the other party to realize, have more integrity and less excuses! At the same time, I would like to ask the other party, if everyone has this view, how can we build an honest society and how can our country develop greater integrity?

People always habitually give lies a derogatory connotation. This is because there is a crisis of integrity in today's society, and lies are actually neutral. Even if today's society proposes the ethics of integrity, it does not require that the truth be told in all circumstances, and lies are not allowed to exist. White lies are not "lies" (malicious lies), and they do not conflict with integrity and have their existence. Spatially, if you don't like the word "lie", we can mind linguists creating another word, such as "false words" and "euphemism" to express the semantic meaning of white lies.

White lies leave behind the ugliness and come to the beautiful world!

White lies abandon selfishness and come to the world of integrity!

This negative impact on integrity is often relatively subtle and is a kind of chronic poisoning. Ignoring this poison is undoubtedly deceiving oneself and stealing the bell.

The affirmative side said in the third argument that "white lies are more of excuses". Does this sentence require any argument? Is it possible to quote directly without argument? The affirmative's three arguments directly demonstrate the harm of "excuses", which contains serious logical errors. At the same time, I found that the other debater had many logical errors, so I won’t list them all here.

We asked the other party to cite examples, but the other party said that there are many examples, but still did not cite one.

Everyone knows the meaning of a white lie. It is not a new concept. Why need to define it again?

The affirmative's third defense repeatedly emphasized that white lies are chronic poisoning and are hidden. However, they did not conduct rigorous demonstrations or cite an example, but directly concluded that we cannot agree with it.

[Foundation]:

When two people were in love, both parties promised never to change their hearts, but later they broke up. This was a white lie at the time, but later the injured party suffered serious consequences. A blow. 1 1=2 Is it necessary for people in our area to continue to argue? This is a very simple question. It is just like the idea that white lies are excuses. Japan ignores historical facts and distorts history, and what it gets is great Strong condemnation from some Asian people. When the German president devoutly expressed his condolences to the victims of World War II, he received not only the Nobel Peace Prize, but also the understanding and tolerance of the people of the world.

If a country or a nation can always treat and evaluate objective things with a fair heart, it will definitely create an atmosphere of honesty and clarity instead of a vicious cycle of intrigue.

Premier Zhu Fangji pointed out in the Government Work Report at the Fifth Session of the Ninth National People's Congress that it is necessary to "effectively strengthen the construction of social credit and gradually form a good governance system in the whole society based on integrity and ethics." fashion". Being sincere and making friends with trust is an important part of our country's traditional morality. It is also a fundamental measure to maintain the normal operation of the economy, promote institutional innovation, and rectify and standardize the market economic order at present and in the future. At present, with the rapid development of the economy and society and the evolution of people's values, the lack of credit in some fields and individuals has increasingly become a serious social hazard and must be paid great attention to. As the other party said in the first argument, there is no goodwill in lies. Since they are lies, they hinder integrity. May I ask the other party’s defense partner, what is integrity? What is lacking in our society? (Author: Xu Jinyan, September 25, 10:54)

We believe that so-called kind lies are detrimental to integrity. Of course, the lies here are not people’s What is often called an egregious hoax is a lie that pretends to approve or support (but does not actually approve of) the practices, opinions, or views of spouses, relatives, and friends.

Here is an example of a company manager named Tom in Southern California. Tom spends Thanksgiving with his wife and son at his mother-in-law's house every year. He actually disliked eating a "special" pumpkin pie that his mother-in-law made, but told her how delicious her pie was to avoid hurting her feelings. "Is this wrong?" Tom asked his psychiatrist. This is a question that many people will ask. The psychologist asked him to see the lie from his mother-in-law's perspective. Suppose one day, Tom's son confides the truth in front of his grandmother, and her mother-in-law discovers Tom's true feelings. Will she tell Tom, "Thank you for your kindness?" Or will she feel emotionally hurt and say, "How could you do this all these years?" What else are you hiding from me like this?" And what questions will Tom's mother-in-law have about herself? Will Tom's son also imitate his father's lies? How would he view his father's personality? Will he believe what his father says again in the future?

A novelist once wrote: "The first time we try to tell a lie, we fall into the chaos we spin. net.

”

We believe that the opponent has fundamental errors in the understanding and understanding of some concepts. Integrity is based on mutual frankness, and any deception is even the so-called "goodwill" It can be said that lies are completely different from "good faith". I don't think there is any need to demonstrate the concept of "good faith" lies here, as the analysis has been very clear. (Author: Wu Yunhui, September 25 10:56)

Integrity has been advocated since ancient times. History goes back to 359 BC, when Shang Yang of the Qin Dynasty enacted legislation to enrich the country and strengthen the army with integrity. This is the allusion of "a tree standing in a door". For ten years after Shang Yang's practice, "the people of Qin are very happy, no one picks up things on the road, there are no thieves in the mountains, and there are enough people in the house." Today, as our country joins the WTO and the market economy is developing day by day, if we let counterfeit goods If it goes rampant and loses credibility, it will cause huge harm to economic life and bring disastrous consequences to social life. The current of dishonesty will erode the trust between people like the plague and hinder the pace of the socialist market economy. Looking back on the painful experience, it is urgent to advocate integrity, punish breach of trust, and improve the credit ethics and credit legal system. Time waits for no time

As cited by the other party’s debater, lovers in love promised each other never to change their hearts, but later they changed their minds. Breaking up is not a white lie, but a malicious lie. It cannot prove that malicious lies are deceptive. (Author: Yu Lu, September 25, 11:00)

[Professor]:

We must reject lies and insist on integrity. How can we avoid the embarrassment encountered by the negative side in our work and life?

If we refuse at the beginning, we will not accept it. There will be embarrassing situations later. We now live in an era where honesty is not popular.

“Don’t say the hat the aunt next door is wearing is ugly, do you hear me? ”

“You have to tell the new head teacher, ‘I’m very happy that you can become our head teacher’! ”

When we say similar things, we do not mean it from the bottom of our hearts, but choose some good words that do not make people sad. This is because we believe that white lies are indispensable in life.

How about we look at this problem from the opposite perspective? If someone wears an ugly hat, we can tell people truthfully that it is really not good. This is because telling white lies will also give. You bring trouble. Therefore, learn when to tell the truth and when to tell a white lie, otherwise you will be unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

As an example, let's say you receive a call at the weekend. A birthday invitation from a not-so-close friend. You didn’t want to go, but you were afraid of being angry if you refused, so you agreed vaguely. Time passed quickly. Seeing that your friend’s birthday was coming soon, you still didn’t want to go, so now you found a friend. Tell the other party that you can't go. Think about it, what will the other party think of you now? They will definitely see that you are unwilling to go, and they will be very angry.

You didn't refuse at first, but the result is still the same. Make your friend angry. What would it be like to show your attitude when you get the invitation?

“I’m very happy to be invited, but I can’t go because I have something to do in town that day. "

If you refuse at the beginning, there will be no embarrassment later.

Deception is definitely a lie, but a lie is not necessarily a lie.

There are two kinds of lies: malicious and kind. Lying is a human instinct, and the key is whether it is honest. With what kind of lies.

Of course, malicious lies can be said to be deception. Malicious lies seek benefits for the liar. They use strong desire for profit and weak rationality to target others and do not hesitate to harm others. This is a behavior that benefits oneself at the expense of others. Performance. People with evil intentions, no matter how they disguise themselves, how they use rhetoric, or how they rack their brains to put a good-natured hat on their malicious lies, the lies they tell all have malicious purposes. But white lies are different. They are motivated by good intentions and have the purpose and starting point of safeguarding the interests of others. The nature of a white lie itself determines that it is not malicious, but is based on inner sincerity and kindness. Lies that kind people are "forced" to tell under certain circumstances are white lies. Such lies are harmful to people. Basically, it is a kind of kindness and a kind of care. This kind of lie is also a way of dealing with the world and a manifestation of the quality of thinking about others. Obviously, white lies do not hinder integrity. A world without lies is like an earth without dust. It does not exist. The key is how we use it. White lies do not interfere with integrity.
