Debate topic: Today’s society should protect the weak! !

I am an affirmative, looking for evidence for the argument

Analysis:

What about Cicero’s theory on the origin of the state?

Cicero believes that the state is not the product of the weak but the aggregation of people living a virtuous life for the common interests. The product of a lonely nature and interests. Because the status of the strong and the weak alternates with time and space, the cycle of the weak is cyclical, so the emergence of the country has a basis for consent. The state was established to protect the weak and promote common interests. Otherwise, the state and the law would have no interest.

The angles are different, and the support is naturally different. Progressives believe that protecting the weak can further reflect social care

and better promote humanitarianism. Those who regress feel that although it is good to protect the weak, it also provides a breeding ground for crime to a certain extent. Who can guarantee that all weak people are innocent and kind-hearted people? Excessive care and protection for the weak will only make them more "weak" and live at the bottom of society. . . . I think it still depends on what kind of weak people need protection

And even if we want to divide the weak and the strong, what are the criteria for the division? Historically, various systems of discrimination and discrimination against certain or certain groups of people have From the perspective of moral origin, there are nothing more than two situations.

One is that those with congenital or acquired physical defects and personal development that lag far behind ordinary people are considered weak. If defined according to physical defects, then Hawking must He is a cripple. Yao Ming is now seen as a successful and strong man. Based on this standard, does it mean that he is deaf in one ear at an early age? Can we determine that he is a weak person? Judging by personal development and experience in society, more modern performances are based on There seems to be no need to demonstrate the absurdity of the classification of personal strengths and weaknesses by educational background, academic qualifications and work experience. Both Bill Gates and Dell dropped out of school to start their own businesses. At first, no one probably regarded them as strong, but they eventually achieved huge success. Successful!! Another example is that Procter & Gamble is particularly fond of fresh graduates, which can prove that even a person with no work experience can become a person who is fully qualified for this job after training! That is, the weak becomes the strong!!

The second is to judge a hero based on success or failure. However, success or failure can only be based on history. However, past success does not prove that he can succeed in the future, and past failure does not mean that he cannot succeed, and Success itself is not all a reflection of strength, but also has a certain element of luck! Historical success or failure can only be used as a reference for examining a person, but not as the final criterion for judging people! For example, when many companies choose professional managers, they will favor those who have failed managers!

It can be seen that the strong and the weak are relative. In the face of the stronger, the strong will They also become weak. In the face of even weaker people, the weak become strong! And strength and weakness will also transform into each other, or strength and weakness are different states that people repeatedly find themselves in throughout their lives! Due to the plasticity of people, and some Uncertainty factors, the strong can also become weak, and the weak can also become strong.

From the perspective of the entire social system, it is not necessary to only safeguard the interests of the strong, thereby inhibiting the fairness of the weak and becoming the strong. Opportunities; it is not to raise some weak people who claim to be weak and get something for nothing, and to dampen the enthusiasm of the strong. It is to maintain a fair transformation mechanism and state, that is, to provide certain assistance to people in the weak state to ensure that they can rely on them. The strong will have the opportunity to become strong through their own efforts, but the strong will also be restricted to prevent him from relying on his strong position to infringe on the weak's fair development opportunities!

Note that this is not just a fair mechanism, It is also a state of fairness!! Not some dogmatic rules! Because fairness is inherently relative

In today's society, many people have no food to eat, no books to read, and no houses to live in. What they eat They want to study but have no money. They want to have a good place to settle down, but they can only sleep on the streets. They are what we call the weak. The current polarization in China is particularly serious. The poor people have nothing to eat, but the rich people live in villas, drive BMWs, go to the sauna every day, and run to nightclubs when they have nothing to do. There is a little secretary on the left hand floor, holding the right hand. A pretty young lady. These are rich people, and their lives are things that poor people can’t even imagine. In fact, the weak are those who are poor and have no support, which is also the name of poor people. The weak are a part of our society. It is also an indispensable part of every country and even nation.

Even in the developed United States, there are weak people. To put it bluntly, there are poor people. I believe everyone in the universe knows this. There is no need for me to emphasize the facts, and there is no need for me to give you nonsense. Okay, let’s get back to business. I have said so much before, I just hope that everyone can clearly understand who is the real weak, who is the person who needs help in our society, and who is the person who our society wants to protect.
