A sincere and white lie.

A white lie goes against honesty.

Debate statement

Chairman, judges and debaters, hello!

Honesty has been advocated since ancient times. From Confucius, "People can't stand without faith." For Mencius, "sincerity is the way of heaven and the way of being human." From "Standing at the Door" by Shang Yang to the modern "Outline for the Implementation of Citizen Morality", honesty, namely sincerity, trustworthiness and truth-seeking are all reflected. I will discuss our views from the following aspects: white lies violate honesty.

First: cut open the phenomenon to see the essence. Explaining a lie in a dictionary is a distortion of the facts, not a real thing. The beautiful appearance of things can always confuse some people's eyes. We have been taught not to tell lies since childhood as teachers. Lying is not a good boy, but when we put a good coat on lies, it hits the weakness of human nature and makes some people begin to accept white lies. But can you get rid of the fact that beggars wear cheongsam? Therefore, a white lie is still a lie, which violates seeking truth. Therefore, we believe that white lies violate honesty. You can use The Emperor's New Clothes to explain this argument concisely.

Second: ask the other party to be more rational and less emotional. The other party insists that telling white lies does not violate honesty. Is there too much emotion? It is an indisputable fact that adding the word goodwill in front of a lie takes it for granted that it is no longer a lie, and its motive is goodwill. I don't know that goodwill itself has certain uncertainty, so it is repeatedly used by some "professional scammers". So please open your rational eyes and look at the real problems of white lies! Don't "don't know the true face of a lie, just because you are kind!" " Ah! "

Thirdly, under the social background of contemporary China, what is the new connotation of honesty?

First of all, since the fundamental spirit of honesty is truth and innocence, people are required to respect objective laws and establish a realistic spirit. In the face of honesty, all insincerity and deception will be mercilessly exposed and criticized.

Secondly, as a value concept, honesty has the characteristics of fairness. It requires social groups to establish a fair and reasonable system, and requires every member of society to establish a fair attitude and selfless moral concept.

Thirdly, the humanistic spirit contained in honesty requires people to consciously abide by the law, be sincere and trustworthy, and establish values and ethics that are compatible with the market economic system and the society ruled by law. Harmony can not be established with white lies, but it is the embodiment of sincerity between people!

Finally, I want to tell another debater that a wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf after all! Therefore, we have always believed that white lies are against integrity.

Independent variables (2 independent variables): Scheme 1:

1: You have been talking about kindness. Are you a kind person?

2. Do you think you are good and others will think you are good?

This needs everyone's evaluation! ! !

3. Yes, it needs public evaluation. Doesn't this explain the uncertainty of goodwill standard? Let's change the subject. What is your understanding of lies?

Lies are divided into white lies and malicious lies. What we are going to discuss today is a white lie!

4. The other debater said it well. Since you attribute a white lie to a lie, can you say that a white lie is not a lie?

There is an essential difference between a white lie and a lie, which is no longer an understanding of the lie itself!

Do you think adding the adjective "goodwill" before a lie becomes the truth? According to the logic of the other defense friend, why not call it the truth of goodwill, the truth of goodwill?

Goodwill is considering human nature and the situation of the parties! It is the perfect embodiment of morality!

6: Is it immoral for me to tell the truth politely? You have been emphasizing that white lies have changed qualitatively, but you can't prove them, and you haven't strongly refuted our white lies or lies. Isn't this a contradiction? I hope you can give us and everyone a good explanation in the next debate! thank you

Attack and defense: Scheme 2:

1: You have been talking about kindness. Are you a kind person?

This needs everyone's evaluation! ! !

2. Yes, it needs public evaluation. Doesn't this explain the uncertainty of goodwill standard? Let's change the subject. What is your understanding of lies?

We are talking about white lies today, not lies. Please don't digress!

3. We didn't deviate from today's topic, just wanted to tell the other debater that you deviated from the white lie or the theme of the lie! Don't you think?

There is an essential difference between a white lie and a lie, which is no longer an understanding of the lie itself!

5: Is it immoral for me to tell the truth politely? You have been emphasizing that white lies have changed qualitatively, but you can't prove them, and you haven't strongly refuted our white lies or lies. Isn't this a contradiction? I hope you can give us and everyone a good explanation in the next debate! Thanks ~!

Attack and defense: Scheme 3:

1: You have been talking about kindness. Are you a kind person?

I am working with a sincere heart!

2. So if you are sincere to yourself, do others think you are sincere? Isn't that a little individualistic?

I think my sincerity will make the public make the most reasonable evaluation of me!

3. Yes, it needs public evaluation. Doesn't this explain the uncertainty of goodwill standard? Let's change the subject. What is your understanding of lies?

Lies are divided into white lies and malicious lies. What we are going to discuss today is a white lie!

4. The other debater said it well. Since you attribute a white lie to a lie, can you say that a white lie is not a lie?

There is an essential difference between a white lie and a lie, which is no longer an understanding of the lie itself!

Do you think adding the adjective "goodwill" before a lie becomes truth? According to the logic of the other defense friend, why not call it the truth of goodwill, the truth of goodwill?

Goodwill is considering human nature and the situation of the parties! It is the perfect embodiment of morality!

Attack and defense (3 independent variables) scheme 1

1: opponent, do you think benign tumors are harmful to human body?

number

2: Really not? Then I tell you, in medicine, benign tumor is also a kind of tumor and a disease, which is harmful to human health. Do you agree?

Medically, yes,

Ok, let's look at today's debate. A white lie is also a lie. It's also a lie, which violates honesty. Do you want to deny it?

White lies are different from benign tumors.

4. Just now, another debater didn't understand that benign tumor is also a kind of tumor and a disease? Isn't a white lie a benign tumor

They are different. When there is kindness in front of a lie, its essence changes. Its purpose is good!

5: then add benign in front of the tumor, or it is against human health! It's like adding goodwill to a lie, but it's still against honesty! You keep saying that they have changed fundamentally, but the Depiction Department has no strong argument. I hope you can give an argument in the following fallacy. Thank you. 4:

Option 2

1:: Opponent, do you think benign tumors are harmful to human body?

You are a medical student, and I think you should know better than me.

Then I can tell you that benign tumor is also a kind of tumor and a disease, which is harmful to human health. Just like today's debate, a white lie is also a lie. It's also a lie, which violates honesty. Do you want to deny it?

White lies and benign tumors are different, and white lies and lies are essentially different.

3. Oh, is there any qualitative change when the tumor is benign?

We are not talking about a tumor, but a white lie, my friend.

4. The other debater, I tell you straight away, don't be blinded by goodwill, and you can't see the essence of its lies! Debaters, do you agree that honesty is truth-seeking in our Outline for the Implementation of Citizen Morality?

Summary of attack and defense

Free debate:

1: Another debater, there is such a sentence in Zhao Benshan's sketch: "I don't even know you in a vest, little sample?" Today, why can't you use a good coat to identify lies?

Just now, we played a joke in the debate. Now, let's put aside the vest and go back to today's debate. Isn't a white lie a lie

You have been saying that white lies have changed qualitatively, so where did you get them?

4. White lies are good motives, but aren't your motives subjective?

Since motivation is subjective, your motivation can't be said to be absolutely good, but it is good from your point of view!

6. Although a white lie is out of consideration for human nature, is it true?

7: No, so it still violates truth-seeking, and white lies violate honesty! Haven't other debaters heard that short pain is better than long pain?

8: Didn't other debaters hear that paper can't hold fire? What will you do in case of fire?

9. Human nature is the sensory knowledge of most fevers. In this displayed society, why doesn't the other party be rational on the basis of sensibility?

10: The other party's repeated white lies do not violate honesty. Will a white lie follow the truth? Do white lies follow objective facts?

1 1: White lies are also harmful to others, only to a certain extent, but lies will be exposed one day, and how can you avoid talking about the harm caused by this process?

12: White lies have become a habit of some people, and they are also a common means to avoid responsibility. How does the other party explain the vicious dependence of white lies on people's hearts?

13: What the other party has been demonstrating is that a white lie does not violate the principle of good faith. Please show us how a white lie does not violate the principle of good faith from the perspective of good faith.

14: knowing will bring pressure, but only when there is pressure will there be motivation! As a medical student, I can tell my opponent from a more professional point of view: telling the patient the truth is more conducive to the development of his illness!

15: Is it necessary to tell white lies when educating children? Why can't we be more honest? Haven't you heard of Ceng Zi's godson? Ceng Zi is not only educating his wife, but also telling the world that white lies are not allowed, and honesty is the last word!

16: White lies are a minority after all, in today's harmonious and honest society. The other debater, what we need more is the sincere truth! Can't you be good without lying?

17: Your opponent's eyes are too emotional, but does being too emotional mask your rationality? Can't you clearly know a wolf in sheep's clothing or a wolf?

18: Violating honesty means that some actions violate truth-seeking, but we did not arbitrarily say that he is a dishonest person! Please don't label us!

19: I tell you honestly, how can it be unreasonable to share joys and sorrows? Opponent debater, this is a personal attack!

It is terrible to tell the truth regardless of the situation, but it is even more terrible to tell a white lie regardless of the situation!

2 1: Honesty requires us to tell the truth!

22. White lies are not a supplement to honesty, but two opposite aspects. We don't deny that white lies are desirable, but at the cost of honesty!

23. How to evaluate the "goodwill" that white lies can only feel? Your standard? My standards? The standards of the parties? Or is it a popular standard? Since there is no fixed standard for white lies, how to evaluate the "good" and "bad" white lies?

We didn't say that he said a white lie was not desirable, let alone that he was a dishonest person because of this white lie. We just said that a white lie is against good faith!

Four arguments

Lessing once said: Having the truth is far less valuable than pursuing it. Based on the same idea and the insistence on the essence of honesty and truth-seeking, we disagree with many arguments and arguments against each other.

First of all, the other party uses a lot of examples to render lies altruistic, thinking that white lies are the best and will not affect honesty. We don't deny the function and effect of white lies, but the function and effect of white lies are ultimately at the expense of honesty. We won't use "dishonesty" to condemn a person who tells a white lie, but we can't bear to criticize him just because he does it for a good purpose, but it doesn't mean that the white lie he told is not. !

Secondly, the other debater only tells white lies, without in-depth research. Now psychological research points out that white lies are divided into object white lies and subject white lies. The former is completely based on the interests of the other party, while the latter contains the elements of safeguarding one's own interests, both of which are destructive to integrity, only to the extent of chronic poisoning and acute poisoning. Another debater came to the wrong understanding that a white lie does not violate honesty, because a white lie will not be directly perceived by people, but it will gradually corrode people's honesty system as time goes by. The concept of dishonesty is hidden in their subconscious, and there is "for others!" This sentence will become his inner excuse for undermining integrity in the future!

Thirdly, the opponent's debater admits that not telling the truth is against good faith, but lies that are unilaterally considered to be white are not included. How can you make us agree? The other party also said that a white lie is the sublimation of a lie and has undergone a qualitative change, but you can't prove this so-called non-violation from the beginning to the end from an honest point of view, just as we argued: a wolf in sheep's clothing is still a wolf after all!

Free performance

People in this society are burdened with many obligations, and there are contradictions among them. When one obligation takes precedence over another, it is necessary to alleviate the other obligation. Therefore, the essence of a white lie is a more urgent and important obligation to be fulfilled, and at the expense of weakening the obligation of good faith, the other party defends. Can't you see that behind the white lie, personal integrity is declining step by step? Can't you see that behind the white lies, honesty is silently shedding bitter and helpless tears? One small step in your white lies today, and your honesty will take a big step back tomorrow! If everyone adds goodwill to his lies, obliterates rationality with sensibility and drowns honesty with tears, how can this society develop and build a harmonious society? How do you feel about other debaters?

Finally, I hope everyone will have less excuses and more sincerity, put aside their differences in the debate, build a harmonious society with real integrity, and let the banner of integrity fly in our hearts! Finally, we reiterate our point of view: white lies violate integrity! ! thank you

The State Secrecy Law is aimed at the rights and interests of the SAR out of national interests.

Honesty plays an important role in society and individuals. For a country, honesty is the foundation of the country. The main body of the country is the people. China has had the motto "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world" since ancient times, and these words are still wise words. What do national leaders rely on to unite the people? Relying on wise policies and spiritual beliefs, honesty means winning people's trust and uniting people's humanistic spirit and moral beliefs. In fact, the other debater is looking at such a realistic proposition with emotional eyes, but can only adding goodwill solve the social reality problem that violates honesty? Why not be more rational on the basis of sensibility?

Your logic is called "no matter how well-intentioned a lie is", and a lie is against good faith. I don't know if this understanding is ok. But personally, this increases the cost of your argument. Perhaps, lies violate honesty, and the cost is not great. But it is difficult to interpret a white lie as a lie. Strictly speaking, changing the debate is a risky move.

Here, you can define the scope of the debate and discuss the links. It is universal that lies violate honesty, and the key is that white lies violate honesty. But the other party's solution can be "white lies conform to the basic law of honesty", or "white lies never appear in the scope of honest discussion"

Because honesty belongs to morality, when the upper value of morality "goodness" is satisfied, the lower value "honesty in honesty" (belief still exists) still exists. It did not completely destroy honesty, but also gained greater moral value.

In other words, what is the meaning of honesty? I am sincere and trust others. Similarly, this is also a kind of stealing, but it is more hidden. If you say so, according to your logic, a white lie is a lie or a white lie, which does not violate sincerity or mutual trust. There are many other explanations. Therefore, your logic system may be very troublesome if you keep going.

Suggestions can be made from the aspect of violating integrity. What kind of behavior is against good faith, both intentional deception. In any case, a white lie is not an unintentional lie. It must be intentional and deceptive. If it is bound to violate honesty, then a white lie is bound to violate honesty.

In addition, in your argument, there is nothing wrong with advocating honesty, but the positive effect on white lies is not included. Personally, this treatment is not wise. On the court, it is not worthwhile to leave this battlefield to the other side as an attack point. Theoretically, there should be "we also agree that in some cases, we have to tell white lies, but we all have to understand that we pay the price of honesty, even though it brings temporary comfort to that person", so as not to stimulate the emotional hearts of the judges and the audience. Therefore, the second point of your argument should be handled gently.

Examples, continuous rhetorical questions, can be used in questions. Try it, hehe: The Emperor's New Clothes. Do you think the last child who tells the truth is kind? Why does kindness have to be expressed by lies? What's the difference between a white lie and a white truth? If they are all kind, won't they bring pain to each other? If it can't bring pain, why replace the truth with lies? So a white lie, rather than a white truth, is not that the other classmate wants to comfort others with "goodwill", but to excuse himself with "lies", right? In short, you still can't explain why we can't use the truth in good faith, but we should use the truth in good faith, right?

Problem summary: So, another student told us a lot in his argument today. White lies can bring happiness to others with a white spirit. But have you ever wondered why we should use white lies instead of white truth? What's the difference between telling a lie and telling the truth? It is not because the truth will bring pain, but lies will give temporary comfort. Pain and happiness depend on kindness. The difference between a lie and the truth is that if you tell a lie, maybe the listener will thank you for bringing good news and telling the truth. Sometimes we can't guarantee that he will accept it happily, and even hold a grudge against me. Therefore, we are used to telling white lies because we are afraid of getting into trouble because of that little trouble. What is the meaning of our honesty? No, I'm afraid I'll get hurt. I must be honest with others and trust them. In the face of that little loss, we let go of our sincerity, but under the banner of goodwill, we said that he did not violate his integrity. Everyone here, how can you tolerate it? ..... and you can play the rest yourself.

Sublimation of concluding remarks

What's the difference between a white lie and a white truth? Why should I replace the truth with lies? This is the most essential problem of today's problem. Why can't we honestly tell the truth? Because it may bring us some trouble, we will lie despite our good intentions, no matter how painful that person will be when he knows the truth. Therefore, white lies are selfish in nature and have no integrity. We also find that white lies are popular because we don't tell the truth sincerely. We think there is no difference between telling the truth, kindness and malice. But we found that there is. When a person always thinks that his lover is not dead after a long journey, but drunk, in fact, she is dead! This is the malicious truth. Therefore, we should learn to tell the truth sincerely, instead of selfish "white lies". Because we know that as soon as we speak, we will pay the price of honesty.

Honesty is an important concept of ethical philosophy put forward by pre-Qin Confucianists, and it is also an important category in the history of China's ethical thought. It was not until the period of Confucius that "honesty" was formed as a theoretical concept. Mencius not only formed a theoretical concept, but also had a very important position. He said: "it is sincere, and heaven is also; If you think sincerely, you will learn from others. Those who are sincere and motionless are not there; If you are dishonest, there will be no porters. " Here, honesty is not only the highest category of the ontology of heaven, but also the law and know-how of being a man. Xunzi developed the thought of "sincerity" and pointed out that "sincerity is the foundation of politics". He said; "The heavens and the earth are big, and dishonesty cannot change everything; As the saints know, if you are dishonest, you can't turn to the public; Father and son are close relatives, and dishonesty is sparse; Jun Jing, if you are not sincere, you are humble, your husband is sincere, and the gentleman keeps it. The foundation of politics is also. " In The Doctrine of the Mean, "honesty" has become the core category of etiquette and the highest realm of life: "Only honesty in the world can make the best use of it; If you can do your best, you can do your best; If you can make good use of human nature, you can make good use of things; If you can make the best use of it, you can praise the teaching of heaven and earth; If you can praise the cultivation of heaven and earth, you can go to heaven and earth. " As sincere as a god, with sincere moral character and attitude, you can infiltrate a variety of benevolence and morality, become an adult, and even achieve the natural feelings of people and things, praise the heavens and the earth only for their participation, and achieve the realm of "harmony between man and nature". The University regards "sincerity" as one of the eight items, namely, discipline, knowledge, honesty, honesty, self-cultivation, keeping the family in order, and governing the country. "Honesty" has become an important link for sages to abide by God's will, cultivate one's morality, and govern the country and the world. In the Song Dynasty, Zhou Dunyi further believed that "honesty" was "the foundation of the five permanent members and the source of all things." Take "sincerity", including honesty, as the foundation of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom and faith, and the beginning of all kinds of good deeds. Cheng Yi put it more bluntly, "You can do good even if you are not sincere", and his views are incisive.

Marxist ethics critically inherits the category of "honesty" and affirms that honesty is an important norm of social morality. In the long-term social life, the main moral requirements of honesty have gradually become clear: loyalty, integrity and honesty. The main purpose of loyalty is loyalty to the motherland, people and just cause. Of course, this kind of loyalty is not blind and narrow "foolish loyalty", but identifies with lofty ideals, pursues and makes unremitting efforts to realize these ideals, thus showing the spirit of being willing to contribute and being brave in sacrifice. Integrity means integrity, fairness and frankness. Honesty means telling the truth, doing honest things and being honest.

Faith is also the category of China's history of ethical thought. The meaning of "faith" is similar to "sincerity" and "truth". From the analysis of the glyph, the word faithfulness follows people's words, which originally refers to the sincere words to heaven and ancestors during sacrifice. Liang Ji, a doctor in the Sui Dynasty, said, "Be loyal to the people and believe in God" and "May history have correct remarks and trust." Later, due to the development of private economy and private thoughts, the original simple society was gradually destroyed. In the communication between countries and people, we must conclude an oath. However, the observance of vows and commitments still depends on the deterrence of the gods and spirits of heaven and earth. In the Spring and Autumn Period, under the advocacy of Confucianism, "faith" began to get rid of religious color and became a pure moral norm. Confucius believed that "faith" was the embodiment of "benevolence", and he asked people to "respect things and believe". He said, "If you believe, you will do whatever you want" and "If you don't believe, you don't know what you can do". Confucius and Mencius regarded "trust" as an important principle of making friends, emphasizing that "friends believe in their existence" and "friends believe in their absence". Most authorities in past dynasties regarded "trust" as an important tool to maintain order. "Zuo Wen Zhuan's Four Years" said: "Abandoning faith and damaging its owner will lead to chaos in the country." "Your Letter in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Lu" makes an incisive analysis of the consequences of faith and unbelief in social life: "If the monarch and the minister don't believe it, the people will slander and the country will be uneasy. If officials don't believe in it, they will be less afraid of growing up and look down on each other. If you don't believe in rewards and punishments, people will easily break the law and can't ban it. If you don't believe in making friends, you will be separated from your troubles and can't date each other. If all the workers don't believe it, the equipment will suffer, and if it is fake, the paint will be disloyal. The husband can follow it, take it as the end, respect it, be humble and poor, and believe only! " In the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhongshu listed "faithfulness" and benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom as the "five permanents" and regarded them as the most basic social behavior norms. And the "letter" is discussed in detail: "I try to write my feelings without modification, so it is also a letter." He believes that "faith" needs to be honest, consistent in appearance and consistent in words and deeds. Zhu proposed that "benevolence embraces the five permanents" and regarded "faithfulness" as the function and expression of "benevolence", which is mainly the way to make friends. He said: "Honesty is the foundation", which is basically consistent with Confucius and Mencius. In Confucianism, honesty is often used as a concept. The meanings of "faithfulness, sincerity", "sincerity" and "faithfulness" are very similar.

From this point of view, traditional ethics regards honesty as a basic quality of human beings, and believes that honesty is a good strategy to win people's trust and the cornerstone of success. In short, this is the rule of personal life.

We believe that "honesty is not harmful to learning". Since ancient times, honesty has been the most basic criterion for dealing with people. For scholars, the most gratifying and proud thing is to master useful knowledge and superb skills. However, in the process of learning, we will certainly encounter many problems and difficulties, which requires us to seek truth from facts and study hard, so as to truly acquire knowledge and skills. The ancients were able to "know what they know, but not what they don't know" and "be eager to learn and not ashamed to ask questions", not to mention being the cross-century successors of our generation. On the other hand, those who don't pay attention to honesty know that they have problems in their studies, but they can't honestly ask others for advice. But by copying homework, peeking at exams and other means to obtain false results. In fact, they didn't really acquire knowledge and skills. How can such people build the motherland in the future? Throughout history, ancient banquets were special, from being diligent and honest, to being a model of useful talents; Today, Premier Zhou set an example of "studying for the rise of China". Therefore, we believe that honesty is not a loss in learning, but honesty in learning. Only honesty can benefit our study and promote our healthy growth.

Hello, hosts and judges!

Today, I am very happy to put forward my own views on the debate whether white lies hinder integrity. The following are our views:

There is no doubt that a white lie is itself a lie. Lies, lying is cheating, cheating is immoral, immoral things are unpopular. These are all instilled by teachers since childhood. But we ask ourselves, who hasn't lied? Whether it's for our relatives, friends or strangers, there are many purposes, but when we lie,
