Zhengyi: Hello, fellow students! We explain the stages and processes in which the two can be parallel from different angles. First of all, according to the tradition of China, Confucius once said that "being unjust and rich and expensive is like a cloud to me", but "being rich and seeking is also possible, even though I set a whip, I will do it". Mr. Wang Yangming once told us in the Ming Dynasty: "People do business all day long, and it is not their duty to be sages." This proves that money and morality can go hand in hand. Secondly, as far as western thought is concerned, the great philosopher Aristotle tells us: "The greatest purpose of life is to pursue happiness, and the source of happiness lies in the satisfaction of material life and spiritual life." Sociologist Max Weber also pointed out in the book Protestant Ethics: "To achieve self-realization, it is necessary to make capital cooperate with its traditional ethics." Furthermore, we will demonstrate from socialism with China characteristics that the two can actually go hand in hand. First, under the principle of "one center and two basic points", "reform and opening up" is the road to strengthening the country, and "four persistences" is the foundation of building the country, and the dialectical unity of the two is based on the so-called economic construction. Doesn't this show that spiritual civilization construction and material civilization construction are equally important? Second, Mr. Deng Xiaoping also said: "There can be no poor * * * capitalism, nor can there be poor so-called socialism." Today's blessing is not a sin! To sum up, we have successfully demonstrated that money and morality can actually go hand in hand today, whether in the pursuit of personal life or in the overall economic development of society. If we say that the two can't go hand in hand, it's just that we can't get things done without money, and money without morality will definitely be a bad thing! Therefore, only when money and morality can go hand in hand can we create a "rich and courteous" society, that is, "the whole country is doing business, and Qi Xin is working together to create wealth and strength". Thank you!
reverse one: thank you, chairman! Hello, audience, judges and other debaters! First of all, I want to clarify that what I am talking about here today is not whether money and morality can be unified, nor whether money and morality can be unified. What we want to say is that "the pursuit of money and morality cannot be unified." First of all, let's see how to understand this sentence. " Pursuing "is trying to seek and seek," unity "means consistency," money "is a symbol of money and wealth, and" morality "is the sum total of certain comforting norms that society adjusts the relationship between people and between society and individuals, and its manifestation is respect and maintenance of personal interests and social interests. "The pursuit of money" is to put the possession of wealth in the first place, get the greatest return with the least investment, and accumulate wealth as much as possible. This is obviously different from the construction of material civilization mentioned by the other students. "Moral pursuit" is an effort to explore the noble realm of goodness, justice, fairness and honesty. This not only means rejecting the evil, unjust, selfish and hypocritical means of pursuing money, but also means putting the interests of others and society in the first place and trying to make the most of Fengxian and the least of demands. This is obviously different from the spiritual civilization construction mentioned by the other students. In this way, the contradiction between money pursuit and moral pursuit is not obvious? We don't mean that people who abide by morality can't get money, because we all know that money is not everything, but we can't do anything without it. In fact, most people in the world get money rationally and physically on the premise of observing morality, but this observance and acquisition does not mean the pursuit we are talking about today, because the pursuit is obviously a more single-minded and devoted state. It is precisely because the pursuit of money or morality means giving up another pursuit. So most people find a balance between following morality and getting money, so they don't become saints or demons. There are many people in the world who have a lot of wealth and are charitable, so have they found the unity of money pursuit and moral pursuit? That's not true. Because they get a lot of wealth, they don't give the most and get the least. Since they are willing to give charity, that is, they get the maximum return with the least investment, so they also find a certain balance between obtaining money and morality. If there is anything special about them, it is what means and mentality they use to get money, and it is impossible to know whether their good deeds are entirely for promoting morality, so we should not comment in vain. We will demonstrate our point of view from the aspects of theory, facts and value, that is, the pursuit of money and moral pursuit cannot be unified.
zhenger: hello, everyone! The friendliness of the other side seems to be trying to tell us one thing. When a person abides by honesty and credit, he is immoral. If I am enjoying the joy of life and I am earning money outside in a law-abiding way, should the pursuit of money be abandoned if I put the joy of life first? Ok, we will demonstrate from three aspects that "money and morality cannot go hand in hand" is a wrong concept. First, as far as the relationship between money and morality is concerned, it is absurd to pursue morality without money. Therefore, if we pursue morality, "everyone seeks morality and everyone goes hungry"! Such a society is chaotic. Therefore, under the argument of the other party, society is bound to be poor and chaotic. What I want to ask my opponent here is, is our society all poor and completely chaotic? Second, as far as the actual situation is concerned, if money and moral pursuit really can't go hand in hand, I'll ask the other debater, don't people who are conscientious and law-abiding in their pursuit of money exist? Finally, let's look at the current situation in Chinese mainland. After the reform and opening up, economic construction is the primary task of China as a whole. If the pursuit of money and morality can't be unified, I want to ask the other debater, isn't it a mirage that China wants to transition to a capitalist society with perfect morality and rich economy? Well, we have successfully proved that "the pursuit of money and morality cannot be unified" is a wrong idea from three aspects: the relationship between money and morality, the current political situation and the current situation in China. No matter the former trafficker and pawn to today's ordinary people; Whether it is the principle of capitalist welfare state in the west or the ideological concept of "all wealth in the world under socialism", it has repeatedly told us that money and morality can go hand in hand. Finally, I would like to ask you to touch your conscience and reason and ask yourself, if we earn money for ourselves, our families and the society in an honest and trustworthy way, who can slander us? I can't, and I'm sure neither can you! Thank you!
anti-2: hello everyone! It seems that the other side misunderstood our position in the second debate. We didn't say that people who make money have no morality. Our position is only that one can't pursue money and morality at the same time. Comrade Mao Zedong said, "Modesty makes people progress, and pride makes people lag behind." We want to say, "Pursuing morality makes people progress, while pursuing money makes people fall behind." Below I will explain why moral pursuit and money pursuit cannot be unified from the theoretical level. First, as early as the 18th century, Emmenbock, the founder of conservatism, and other scholars believed that rapid industrialization and urbanization disrupted the inherent stable social order, destroyed people's moral standards for judging good and evil, and were replaced by fanatical money worship and greedy competition and possession. Second, we should take a look at the views of liberal theorists. Adam, the originator of market economics? Smith thinks: "The pursuit of material enjoyment cannot be the basis of knowing human moral society." He told us: "Wealth is often the product of human desire and vanity, and human desire for wealth is often uncontrollable, so the expansion of selfish desires can destroy social harmony and prevent human moral pursuit." Thirdly, radical theorists pointed out sharply: "The pursuit of money can bring moral decay." Swiss economist Kismonde thought: "In the cruel world of free competition, all you do is those corruptions. Empty money kidnappers who have no shame, no principles, no virtue, and no physical heart are just a kidnapper and a swindler. They can abduct if they can, and deceive if they can! " Fourth, Marx further revealed the inherent contradiction between the pursuit of money and the pursuit of morality. He said: "Money is a power to reverse black and white. It turns faithfulness into betrayal; Turn love into hate and hate into love; Turn good deeds into evil deeds and evil deeds into good deeds; Turn the master into a slave and the slave into a master; Turn stupidity into wisdom and wisdom into stupidity. " From conservatism to liberalism, to radicalism, although scholars of various schools have different views on the world, they have strikingly similar views on the opposition between money pursuit and moral pursuit. In front of these philosophers, the other debaters still say that the pursuit of money and morality can be unified? Thank you!
zhengsan: hello, everyone! Please think about it carefully. If we make money legally today, I will try my best to make money legally every day. Is it a desperate pursuit of money and morality at this time? Do you put this "pursuit" in the first place? Can't they be unified? Next, we will demonstrate to you that money and moral pursuit can be unified from three aspects. First of all, from the theoretical level. Under the condition of capitalism, Franklin said long ago: "As long as actions are legal, morality is the result of virtue and the expression of professional ability." Modern capitalism has begun to devote itself to social welfare after being stimulated by socialism, and social equity has been improved. This is no longer the simple pursuit of profit and exploitation of surplus value as we generally understand, but it is closer to the socialist idea of equality and justice. In capitalism, such a proposition can be established. From a practical point of view. Fan Zhongyan in ancient times, he "respected Lu Hou and set up a righteous field to benefit his people, and used what he invested to help his basket." Isn't this an example of pursuing parallelism? You know better than we do that China Peony Electronics Group Company has not only been recognized for its honesty and credibility, but also contributed to the "Hope Project" and the "Asian Games". Does the other debater say that she is "hypocritical"? Is she "fishing for fame"? Third, from the value orientation, we must tell you that only money without morality is a society where people eat people, and only morality without money is a society where people starve to death. Under the framework of the opposing party, are we going to starve to death or eat people? Ask the other debater to answer directly how do we build such a society? Finally, I want to tell you that only by understanding and going hand in hand with money and morality can we meet the material and spiritual needs, the construction of material civilization and spiritual civilization be successful, and the human society be endless ... Thank you!
anti-three: hello everyone! The other debater has repeatedly insisted that "money and morality can go hand in hand", so you may not have heard this jingle, which is called; "Men who have money will learn to be bad, and women who learn to be bad will have money". Next, I will demonstrate our point of view again from the realistic level. In fact, the contradiction between the pursuit of money and moral pursuit has long been conclusive since ancient times. Confucianism holds that: "A gentleman worries about Tao but not poverty." Mencius also said: "Life is what I want; Righteousness is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness are also. " Mencius gave up his life in pursuit of morality. If it is true that the pursuit of money and moral pursuit can be unified, and Mencius really sacrificed his life for the pursuit of truth, then he must have "died unsatisfied" after listening to the opinions of the other debater today. Chen Shimei, who has been spurned for thousands of years, could at least go back to his hometown to be a county grandfather if he didn't pursue his infinite desire for money, fame and fortune. However, it is precisely because the pursuit of money and morality can't be unified at all, so he chose prosperity and abandoned the virtuous and kind Qin Xianglian. As a result, he not only lost his head, left a scar as big as a bowl, but also got an eternal stigma. Bribery, tax evasion and tax evasion emerge one after another; Robbery and theft, car bandits and road bullies are becoming more and more rampant; Prostitution, smuggling and drug trafficking have emerged; Money worship and hedonism are everywhere; Don't do what is right, don't help when you are in trouble, from ruin, and don't get rid of violence from time to time. With such a scene of the cotton team, do you really want us to say that the pursuit of money and moral pursuit can be unified? At present, nothing annoys Beijing residents more than selling fake drugs. Human beings originally invented drugs to cure diseases and save lives, but those who worship money are regarded as professional murderers by selling fake drugs to harm innocent people. In fact, these people also have bosom friends in Taiwan Province. For example, a famous doctor in Taiwan Province was jailed for accepting bribes. It can be said that "a scalpel is like a red envelope Qi Fei, and a gold digger is like a prison"! Compared with the noble medical ethics of the doctors' parents, should the other debater say that the pursuit of money and morality can be unified? All the above facts confirm a famous saying of Marxism. Marx said: "If there is a 5% profit, some people will take risks for it;" If there is a profit of 3%, some people dare to trample on morality and law and even go to the guillotine. But the other debater told us blindly and optimistically that the pursuit of money and morality could have been unified. If everyone is so blindly optimistic, who will accomplish the important task of rectifying the world's morals? On whose shoulders will the burden of carrying forward morality fall? Thank you!
Free debate stage
Positive: Mencius said: "You can't have both, and you have to sacrifice your life for righteousness", which means that when there must be conflicts between the two, but Mencius did not say that "the two always conflict, and those who sacrifice their lives for righteousness also". The other debater asked you the first question, please tell everyone here, when you think that morality and money can't go hand in hand, do you want a society that pursues money or morality? Please answer, thank you!
the opposing side: what we want is a country with money and morality. Didn't we tell you when we debated on it?
positive: The Analects of Confucius? Taber tells us: "The state has a way, it is poor and mean, and it is shameful; The state has no way, it is rich and expensive, and it is shameful. " ? The Selected Works of Deng Xiaoping tells us that to build socialism, we must improve productivity, and poverty is not socialism. Isn't this the blueprint for a state to be rich and expensive?
Counterparty: The other party still says that money and morality can go hand in hand, but it doesn't hear that the pursuit of money and morality can't be unified. Just now, the other three arguments did not admit that the pursuit is a strong pursuit, but said that it can be a desperate pursuit. If I desperately pursue, kill and set fire to money, is it also a pursuit of morality?
pro: my opponent's debater, if I work hard to be law-abiding and make money in pursuit of money, why can't my opponent's debater be "parallel" at this time?
On the other hand, Jesus said, "It is as difficult for a rich man to enter heaven as it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle." Christianity, Judaism, Islam and the greatest schools of western culture all think that the pursuit of money and morality cannot be unified. What do you think?
Zheng Fang: Confucius once told us: "Being rich can be sought, even though I am a whip-wielding talent, I will do it." Loophole thinks that as long as it is reasonable, as long as it can pursue this.
