Thank you, Madam President, and extend my greetings to all participants.

We call words full of knowledge, wisdom and feelings chicken soup for the soul, which is soft, warm and full of positive energy. According to the current social situation and the function of chicken soup for the soul, we will demonstrate to you why chicken soup for the soul is needed in today's society.

Now we have entered a rapidly developing society. Everyone lives in a fast pace and keeps running for their own goals. College entrance examination, employment, buying a house, all kinds of pressures make us feel tired, hard to breathe and confused. Under such heavy social pressure, people are constantly experiencing setbacks such as losing the college entrance examination and unemployment, which is unbearable. In addition, this society is gradually becoming indifferent. When we see that people who kindly help the elderly are blackmailed, children are seriously injured and there is no one to help them, and corrupt officials emerge one after another, it is inevitable that we will have doubts about this society. We will doubt whether the beauty of this world exists, and it will eventually turn into contempt and ridicule for reality, as well as assimilation and compromise of reality. Walking on the road, no longer lend a helping hand to the fallen old man.

In such a social situation, chicken soup for the soul plays an important role. When we are faced with pressure and frustration and feel pain and confusion, some people may be able to face everything with their strong willpower, but there are always many people who need some help and tips from the outside world. Chicken soup for the soul has such a function, giving us comfort and encouragement. For example, when we feel a lot of pressure and worry that we will fail in the exam, we read "Open the curtains and look at the ordinary and realistic scenery outside the window, thinking that there must be great possibilities of beauty in the ordinary and reality", which makes us understand that when we are faced with disappointment, we might as well temporarily pull away from the tension, appreciate the beauty around us and face life with a more positive attitude. I believe everyone has been comforted and inspired by the chicken soup for the soul. For the emotional indifference in society, chicken soup for the soul is even more essential. When we seldom contact with our families because of our busy work, we read that "the so-called scene of father, daughter and mother is just about your fate with him, that is, you have been watching his back drift away all your life", which reminds us of the difficulties of our parents. Maybe because of this chicken soup for the soul, we will call our parents. When we saw the fallen old man indifferent on the road and read that "two sanitation workers sent an Alzheimer's professor home from our school and refused 20 thousand yuan from his family", no one did not feel a warm heart. We don't need it. Leave it to him. This kind of chicken soup for the soul is just a pot of warm tea that awakens the indifference of this society and makes us regain our confidence.

In literary form, chicken soup for the soul is a popular style, and everyone can share their stories with others in Weibo, space and friends circle in the form of chicken soup for the soul. Everyone can also get access to all kinds of chicken soup for the soul through mobile terminals and best-selling magazines. Chicken Soup for the Soul, with its narrative style, beautiful wording and direct emotional expression, makes it different from boring truth and abstinence of famous works, and it is easier to touch readers' hearts and arouse * * * voices.

To sum up, we insist that today's society needs chicken soup for the soul.

The opposing party argued about what I said:

Thank you, Madam President. Hello, everyone. First of all, let me be clear. Chicken soup for the soul generally refers to a philosophical short story or discourse written by the author that is beneficial to the spirit or psychology. take for example

At a job fair, everyone was absorbed in the interview. Only one person saw the garbage on the ground and picked it up. Finally, he was admitted, which shows that a careful and kind person will succeed. This is a familiar chicken soup for the soul.

It can be seen that Chicken Soup for the Soul overemphasizes some one-sided factors when telling the truth, which is the author's subjective view, and the analysis of the problem is not objective enough, which is easy to lead people astray. For example, for success, Chicken Soup for the Soul emphasizes that hard work must pay off, and persistence is a single one-sided factor such as success, which makes people feel that success is not so difficult at once. However, success is an accident, which contains many things, such as wisdom, hard work, contacts and luck. It is a very big accidental concept, but it is difficult to succeed by chicken soup for the soul. It can be seen that reading chicken soup for the soul may be a temporary inspiration, but it has entered a very serious misunderstanding, which makes us look at things too simple and one-sided, leading to people's blind persistence and incomplete work. This is a wrong way, and we don't need it.

Secondly, chicken soup for the soul looks at problems emotionally, which does not meet the needs of today's society and can't help people solve problems. Today, society is developing rapidly, but we still have many problems: most of our society talks about "relationship" rather than "ability" Many of our systems and laws exist in name only, and our innovation is far from enough. To change the country's current predicament, we must seek truth from facts, enforce the law fairly, and rely on people's rationality: let enterprises stop polluting the environment, citizens do not engage in human relations, and the government strictly abides by rules and regulations. Only in this way can the country prosper and the nation prosper. All these require us to change from an emotional nation to a rational one, dare to face problems, be good at analyzing problems and know how to solve them. Chicken soup for the soul acts on people's emotions, which is emotional and does not meet the needs of today's society. At the same time, there are many real good things in our life, which have been well encouraged and inspired by TV, newspapers and other media. In contrast, the chicken soup for the soul written by the author is not so real, even inconsistent with logic and reality. Just like the original example, the boss can't admit a person just because he picks up garbage casually. What we need to learn is how successful people act in real life, not the one-sided view of chicken soup for the soul.

To sum up, chicken soup for the soul is just a kind of spiritual relaxation and comfort for us. There are many other ways that can be replaced in today's society, and it will bring us a lot of harm subtly, and it will not help the development of individuals and society, so we insist that the present society does not need chicken soup for the soul.

Debate: Do we need chicken soup for the soul in today's society?

Demonstration of Founder Ma Feiyu team;

Thank you, Chairman. Hello:

Debate is like life. Look at the flowers before the court and the horizon. Today, our view is that today's society needs chicken soup for the soul. First of all, it should be clear that chicken soup for the soul advocates truth, goodness and beauty in content, and takes moral education as its main purpose in popularization, just like articles and deeds popular in the market like spiritual and emotional placebos. Carnegie's happy life, poet Wang Guozhen, and Yu Dan, who talks about language, are all products of nourishing society into chicken soup for the past. Below I will demonstrate from the following two aspects.

First, there is a demand for chicken soup for the soul in today's society. Chicken Soup for the Soul, as a style advocating truth, goodness and beauty, conforms to the slogan of "five stresses, four beauties and three loves" put forward by the Propaganda Department of the CPC today, and is full of positive social energy. From the perspective of communication, firstly, the composition of chicken soup is very simple, and the content is easy to understand, which is conducive to the acceptance of the general public, as well as its word-of-mouth and text reproduction. The representative magazine of chicken soup, Reader, has a monthly circulation of over10 million copies. Moreover, its communication methods and skills are not only found in newspapers and magazines, but also in self-media, such as Weibo in Yudan. On September 30th, Yu Dan forwarded Dr. Lan Hai's Weibo "How to Love Yourself-Emotion" on Weibo, and the Weibo was forwarded 858 times on Dr. Lan Hai's Weibo. Therefore, at this level, it has laid a large mass foundation for chicken soup. From a psychological point of view, Maslow's theory tells us that physiological needs are only the basic needs of people, and the pursuit of spirit is endless. At any time, people will never stop looking for ways and means of peace of mind. As a low-cost, easy-to-understand popular book, it has advantages and values that other publications do not have in balancing people's psychology and helping readers rest their minds. For example, the bibliography Chicken Soup for the Soul edited by American writers Jack canfield and Mark Victor Harsen has influenced more than 66 million readers all over the world.

Second, the existence value of chicken soup for the soul is justified. From a personal point of view, the truth, goodness and beauty of chicken soup for the soul guide you to face life calmly and peacefully. For example, Bai Longwang, who just died, was called chicken soup for the soul by his followers. He told Andy Lau that "you must know how to be modest, so that it will be popular for a long time", advised Shu Qi, who was trapped by feelings, to "let nature take its course" and advised Huang Qiusheng, who was careless in eating, to "watch his stomach".

For the society, chicken soup for the soul shows the hope of disaster and misfortune to the society, making onlookers become helpers and take action, even if it is only a small step. Wenchuan earthquake protected the baby's mother physically, and let more families join in caring for orphans. The disabled torchbearers of the Olympic Games make disabled people get more respect in society. Chicken soup for the soul magnifies love, promotes love, transmits love, makes people unite as one, and its strength remains unchanged.

It is true that we have heard many voices against chicken soup for the soul, but should we totally deny its disadvantages? I believe today's discussion can give us a dialectical answer.

On the opposite Ma Hongtao team;

Thank you, Madam President. Good afternoon.

Today, our view is that people in today's society don't need chicken soup for the soul. First, let's clarify several definitions.

1. Need: refers to something that can meet the needs of the public, conform to future development and is irreplaceable.

2. Chicken soup for the soul: refers to a kind of soft text popular in the society at present, which uses one or several stories to guide and cater to the public psychology, stimulate people's emotional voices for a while, and realize a truth.

In today's society, with more and more people receiving higher education, people's world outlook, values and outlook on life have been generally improved, people's wisdom has gradually opened up, and more and more people have begun to pursue faith and truth. Therefore, chicken soup for the soul without universal significance has long been unable to satisfy people's desire for the true meaning of life.

Therefore, we prove our point from the following two arguments.

1. There are deep problems and mistakes in chicken soup for the soul. First of all, we will find that Chicken Soup for the Soul is mostly vague in language, and most examples are fabricated and unconvincing. Among them, the application scope of "Life Truth" is very narrow in time and space, and most of them are general, and they have not been implemented in specific matters, and they have not formed systematic thinking and acting principles, and they lack accurate and clear guiding significance for all kinds of events encountered in daily life. Secondly, chicken soup for the soul is mostly negative, which persuades people to consider the problem from another angle instead of really solving it. Third, many "truths" in Chicken Soup for the Soul are self-contradictory and confused, which will cause confusion to the consumers, but will make us more miserable. Therefore, the logical irrationality of chicken soup for the soul will cause a lot of troubles for a person who needs a healthy and mature judgment based on logical thinking.

Although chicken soup for the soul can soothe people's hearts to a certain extent, there is no way to fundamentally solve the problem. Can't meet the needs of people in this world. Chicken soup for the soul is generally aimed at social roles who are confused, need hope and have fragile feelings. When people encounter problems, what they need is calm and rational thinking, and what they need is to face the problems directly and solve them. What chicken soup can do is to soothe our broken hearts and make people have more positive energy, but it can't make people who want to forget the pain eliminate their troubles. For those who want to be warm, these sensational and promiscuous chicken soup words can hardly achieve the function of spiritual strength that can be absorbed like faith. Moreover, it does not give independent thinkers with strong logic the heart to explore practical problems. The words in the chicken soup are plausible on the surface, but they are superficial and hasty. Obviously, it is difficult to meet the social development needs of the gradual opening of the people's wisdom. When people's thoughts become more and more profound, they will naturally despise them.

To sum up, we don't think chicken soup for the soul is needed in today's society.

Debate about the cabbage burning team in the square;

Thank you, Madam President, and hello.

Chicken soup for the soul refers to a form of spreading positive information through short stories and telling the truth, which calls on us to look at things with a positive attitude and generally does not give specific solutions. Tracing the history of chicken soup for the soul, I'm afraid we should start with the series of chicken soup for the soul published by Jack canfield and Mark Victor Harsen and * * * in 1993. At that time, there were more than 200 kinds of books in this series. After the popularity of the Internet, Weibo and space are opened, and these contents can be seen everywhere. With the proliferation of chicken soup, there are more and more voices against chicken soup. People criticize this style as illogical, which will only give people wrong guidance and will not help solve problems in practice. Then, in the face of this fast food culture, why does society need chicken soup for the soul?

First, let's think about what society needs. Society needs hospitals, even if not everyone will get sick; Society needs prisons, even if not everyone will go in. What society needs is what society needs as long as it can meet the demands of unspecified people and is reasonable and legal without harming the rights of others.

Secondly, let's take a look at why chicken soup for the soul can meet people's needs.

First, chicken soup for the soul can meet people's diverse cultural needs. Reasonable social demands should be satisfied and respected, and people need relaxation and entertainment. Simple and easy-to-understand chicken soup for the soul can play such a role. Reading is a good way to learn, but we don't have to read every book to learn anything like reading a textbook. Sometimes we read just to relax, just like reading a joke when we are free. Friends who like to play Weibo are no strangers to the old Zen master. He was busy guiding the lives of all kinds of young people on the Weibo and experienced numerous meaningless challenges. Therefore, the story of the old Zen master not only provides truth, but also provides paragraphs and slots. We need joy, so society needs chicken soup for entertainment.

Secondly, chicken soup for the soul is not only a written book, but also a mode of thinking, which can meet people's special psychological demands. In today's society, the pace of people's life is getting faster and faster. If you want to be a winner, you must accept the ubiquitous competition and challenges. In such a complicated life, people are under increasing pressure and their hearts are becoming more and more fragile. Everyone is bound to have a time when his heart is not strong enough. Not everyone needs, wants and can solve the problem. When I am miserable, lonely and helpless, I just need a bowl of chicken soup to paralyze myself. The thinking mode of chicken soup for the soul teaches people to avoid unsolvable problems, and focuses on shaping a good mentality and looking at problems with an optimistic attitude, so it can play the role of an analgesic. Painkillers can't heal wounds, but they can make people forget the pain temporarily. Society needs such a mentality to help people tide over the difficulties.

Finally, there is no need to criticize that chicken soup for the soul cannot cure all diseases. Any kind of thinking mode should be used in a specific situation, and it is inappropriate to use it wrong. Yu Dan's patience in dealing with policy issues that should never be tolerated is an abuse of chicken soup for the soul. However, when the chef makes a mistake, how can he blame the knife in his hand? Only by using chicken soup for the soul correctly can we meet the reasonable demands. To sum up, we think that today's society needs chicken soup for the soul

Debate on Granny Liu's Durian Milk Team;

What we are discussing today is chicken soup for the soul in a narrow sense, not chicken soup for the soul in a broad sense, because chicken soup for the soul in a broad sense contains almost all the correct values, and it is obviously impossible for us to demonstrate that everyone in society does not need correct values at any time. The main feature of chicken soup is that it lacks the analysis of practical problems, only provides a conclusion, does not distinguish the audience, and faces all groups. Therefore, the so-called social demand is not as long as some people need it, as another debater said, but depends on whether it is meaningful to the whole society.

If someone tells you that you are unlucky because of you, ungodly, as long as you believe in God, you won't be unlucky. We might all scoff. But why do we believe you when we hear that you are unhappy because you are in a bad mood? Because we look at chicken soup, not to see if something makes sense, but to see if it obeys my inner thoughts. Based on our brain, chicken soup doesn't even need to be demonstrated, and we are also good at filling it out. "Like is presumptuous, love is restrained" makes sense. Similarly, it seems right for us to look at "like is restrained, love is licentious" in reverse. What is used to make up for it is the concept that has been formed in our hearts. So it's not chicken soup that gives you a reason, he just likes it. Maybe you will say, I just want to strengthen my belief again, but why not use practice to test whether what you think is true knowledge, but waste time comforting myself: because someone thinks the same as me, I am right. In fact, it is useless to know the truth. The key is to apply it to society. What a society needs is that everyone keeps trying and experiencing, not because others seek comfort and satisfaction as I think.

As a result, chicken soup for the soul seems to have created a comfortable hometown for us. You can succeed here as long as you work hard, even if you have a good attitude, but let's think about it. Is success really that easy? Success requires perseverance, courage and perseverance; Need luck; And courage. But the chicken soup for the soul ignores too much, giving us the idea that as long as I do what I can, I can succeed (need to reread). We were injected with an anesthetic that didn't have to face the reality, as if it could be painless, but it was because we used more anesthetic that we became more sensitive. One day we will face the reality, but then we will only be more miserable. Chicken soup is actually not like real chicken soup to comfort you, but more like a stimulant. It seems that it gave you everything when you needed strength, but it actually made you sad for a long time.

Therefore, for those who need comfort, chicken soup is cocaine that paralyzes people and turns short-term pain into long-term pain. For those who need guidance, it points out the road to nothingness. We are really puzzled: since we have to face it ourselves sooner or later, we have to accept the reality sooner or later and keep moving forward. Why should chicken soup for the soul give us such illusory thoughts and comfort?
