Show honesty
Honesty is the basic morality of being a man. With the progress and development of society, honesty has become the same moral and ethical norm without borders and social system. The ancients talked about being a man, being upright, and doing things in a clean and white way. Daqing people talk about "three elders", tell the truth, do honest things and be honest. When doing business, the ancients said that the spelling is complete and the goods are genuine, and children are not fooled. Honesty, as a symbol of human social progress, as a source of maintaining national prosperity, family harmony and personal dignity, plays a cornerstone and ladder role. The best example is that Lei Feng's spirit and noble character have transcended national boundaries, social systems and beliefs and integrated into the world. In the famous American Military Academy at West Point, five portraits of heroes admired by teachers and students are hung in the hall. The portrait of Lei Feng was ranked first. There is an American young woman named Kathy, who is affectionately called "American Lei Feng" because she often does good things for others. The same is true in Japan, which attributes the spirit of Lei Feng to the survival value necessary for the survival of human society. Then, the reason why Lei Feng's spirit went abroad belongs to the whole world is precisely because of his infinite love and loyalty to the party and the people, and keeping his promise is the perfect combination of capitalist morality and traditional virtues. Therefore, in a country as big as a family, every citizen loses his integrity, the country loses its dignity, the enterprise loses its market, the family loses its harmony, and the individual loses its living conditions and soil. Honesty is better than gold, it is an intangible asset, the source of maintaining truth, goodness and beauty, and the cornerstone and ladder of the development and progress of human society.
Honesty, as the external expression of a citizen's moral quality, is condensed by many spiritual elements such as ethics, morality, thought and culture. As Diderot said, when morality is corrupted, interests will inevitably fall. Therefore, to be honest, loyal, trustworthy and trustworthy, we must have noble moral quality as a guarantee. To improve one's morality and behavior, one must be honest and honest, be honest and pragmatic, and match words with deeds. Only by taking honesty as the basic moral principle of being a man, doing things and being in politics, and taking honesty as the key to moral internal cultivation and external development, can we promote moral perfection, family harmony and national prosperity. Just like the philosophy of "a gentleman is a mean person without self-cultivation", if he does not strengthen his self-cultivation to improve his ideological and moral character, although he is a moral gentleman, he will also degenerate into a mean person. Only by abandoning hypocrisy, being honest with each other and being proud of faith can the interpersonal relationship be the strongest, the most beautiful and the most sublime. What is "honesty"? What is "keeping promises"? In my opinion, "honesty" means seeking truth from facts, not lying or cheating. "Keeping promise" means keeping your word. When you say it, you will never go back on your word. The so-called "a promise of a thousand dollars" "a promise of a thousand dollars, a promise of a thousand dollars."
Honesty and trustworthiness is one of the essences of the Chinese nation. Honesty-oriented, not standing without trust, is the quality of being a man. However, this problem has been puzzling people in recent years. Some people abandon honesty for their own selfish interests, make and sell fake goods, deceive their superiors and delude their subordinates, cheat and kidnap, and fail to pay their debts. For a time, "honesty" was defiled. ...
Is it really that hard to be honest and trustworthy? Indeed, it is not easy to be honest and trustworthy all your life. I think the word "honesty" seems simple, but its weight exceeds 1000 pounds. Because in the vast world, the temptation of interests is everywhere, and the greed for small advantages is a big weakness of people, so "honesty" has become a stumbling block for vested interests. Is this really an insurmountable hurdle? Difficult to "integrity" is destined to be the patent of a few gentlemen? I don't think so. I think "honesty and trustworthiness" is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation for thousands of years. With the development of the times, "honesty" will still become the excellent quality of our nation and be carried forward, making it the driving force to promote historical progress. As the younger generation in the new century, we need to abide by the word "integrity", start from ourselves and start from small things. Speaking of honesty from an early age, even a small plagiarism or a small lie, should be scoffed at and ashamed of, and form a good habit of speaking of "honesty" from an early age. As a dragon, I believe that "honesty" will shine on the land of China.
Honest people are called "gentlemen", and honest people are giants and will be invincible. I think it is based on this that we call for the return of "honesty"!
What is honesty? Sincere in heart and trusting in others. Semantically, "sincerity" and "faithfulness" are interlinked. Shuowen said, "Honest people believe. From words to sounds "; "Letter, honesty also. From people, from words. " "Honesty" refers to an inner quality and belief of the moral subject, that is, the so-called "sincerity in the heart". "Honesty" shows sincerity, honesty, sincerity and so on. "Faith" refers to the specific behavior and value orientation of moral subjects when they communicate with others or the whole society in social life, that is, the so-called "trusting others outside". "Faith" is manifested in keeping promises, keeping promises, keeping promises, and matching words with deeds. When "honesty" and "faith" are used together, they have rich connotations of honesty and trustworthiness, unity of appearance and unity of moral behavior and moral quality. As an ethical category, honesty is the most basic meaning, which is consistent with words and deeds.

Honesty is the foundation of credit. Honesty is a spirit and principle, a moral norm and a code of conduct, which must be observed in social communication and economic activities. Credit is the application of the spirit and principle of good faith. In general social communication, credit mainly refers to the principles of honesty, trustworthiness and trustworthiness to gain people's trust. This kind of trust constitutes the credit environment for the whole society to operate and is the basis for establishing and maintaining social order.
Honesty is the unity of self-discipline and heteronomy. It is not enough to regard honesty as a value and moral standard. Honesty is not only a kind of self-restraint, but also a kind of social evaluation and legal norms. People should have honest moral character, but honesty should be a social evaluation, especially in the development of market economy, it is necessary to establish a set of social norms. Among these norms, the most important is the legal integrity system.
Why talk about honesty? From the ethical point of view, honesty is a kind of moral resource, which can trigger the competition for honesty among merchants; From the perspective of economics, honesty is an intangible asset and a "core cost in capital value". In a mature market economy, the competition among enterprises is mainly brand and service. Therefore, honesty has become the core competitiveness of capital value, which determines the value-added ability of capital value and the ability to obtain profits.
What is the honest game? According to psychological theory, honesty is the higher-level demand after people's lower-level needs are moderately met; Honesty will bring more satisfaction than profit-seeking, so people may sometimes give up some material benefits in pursuit of honesty. But from the perspective of economics, the basic motivation of human social behavior is to seek the maximization of personal interests. The same is true of honesty, which is a means for people to seek long-term and stable material benefits in repeated games and discussions. Honesty is first of all a strategic choice based on interests, not a moral choice based on psychological needs. The most representative theory is game theory.
Game theory is to analyze all possible countermeasures in groups to provide reference for decision-making and system construction. On the issue of how honesty comes into being, game theory analyzes it by making mathematical models. Assuming that A is the manufacturer, B is the seller, and AB is the opponent in the game, there will be the following four game possibilities: first, both parties are honest, one party pays according to the contract, and each party gets the effect of 10; Second, A is honest and B is dishonest. If A delivers the goods and B doesn't pay, then B can get its own maximum benefit, which is 15, while the other party suffers, which is-10; Third, A is dishonest and B is honest, that is, A does not deliver the goods after receiving the money, so A maximizes the benefits and B suffers, and gets-10; Fourth, the two sides of AB don't trust each other and don't keep their promises. The business is ruined, and their respective utility is zero.
In order to pursue their own best interests, both AB parties want the other party to be honest, but they are unwilling to be honest, because only dishonesty can maximize their own interests, and honest people are likely to suffer. Therefore, the reasonable result must be that both sides do not choose honesty, and there is a fourth result. This result is very bad, because the comprehensive utility of both parties is zero, which is the worst of all options.
The main reason for mutual dishonesty in the game is that the two sides are doing a "one-time transaction", that is, the game is only played once. If this game is repeated and continuous, then both sides will not sacrifice the opportunity of continuing cooperation and long-term profit in order to take advantage of it once, and both sides will choose sincere cooperation. Therefore, in order to make honesty the active choice of players, the key is to turn one-time game into repeated game.
As for how to turn one-time games into repetitive games, there are two basic ideas: first, each player establishes his own "circle", and the business between A and B may be one-time, but A has to deal with B's "circle" for a long time. In this way, through the "circle", the one-time game between A and B is transformed into a repeated game in the "circle" where A and B are located. At the same time, the "circle" has another function, which is to transmit information, turn the "double blind" game into a "transparent" game, and improve the possibility of cooperation. Secondly, each player has established and made public his own credit record, and the stain left by dishonesty will be recorded and preserved, which will affect the outcome of a series of games in the future. In this way, the one-time game becomes a part of the long-term repeated game. In the course of hundreds of years' development, capitalism has gradually established an insurance system and a credit system through numerous game practices, which effectively ensures the repetition of the game and provides an institutional premise for commercial society to limit speculation and promote honesty.
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 when we add "goodwill" to lies, it seems that everyone can accept it, which is the concentrated expression of human weakness. Mark? Twain once said, "When you can't make up your mind, tell the truth. It will embarrass your opponent and make your friends feel relieved. " So the psychologist's point of view is: don't lie easily, even if it is a white lie. We think we should distinguish things from the definition and synthesize the interpretation of Kangxi Dictionary. A white lie is not seeking truth from facts, telling lies and empty words, exaggerating, covering up and distorting the truth. From the structural analysis of white lie phrases, it is a partial phrase and the head word is a lie, so white lie is a lie in essence. It is an indisputable fact that white lies are often used by some "professional liars" because of their uncertainty. A "lie" itself is dark, and the likes and dislikes of things are not measured by the purpose of things. A white lie itself is a lie. Although he has shed his beggar's clothes and put on his cheongsam, he still can't get rid of the essence of lies, which means cheating and hinders honesty. White lies have a good starting point, but once they are exposed, they will do more harm to each other. As a lie itself, it is already a violation of good faith. As General Secretary Hu Jintao said in his speech: "The socialist harmonious society we want to build should be a society with democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature." From the above analysis, we believe that no matter whether a lie is for a good purpose or not, being a lie will inevitably hinder honesty. So-called white lies can also lead to unpredictable consequences. Give an example: someone is terminally ill. In order to let him spend the rest of his life safely, his relatives and friends have kept him in the dark. There is no malice or selfishness in this, but it is often unsatisfactory and deception cannot last long. On the contrary, patients lose the rationality of cooperating with treatment and the opportunity to deal with personal affairs. Sisera, a female philosopher? Polk warned that such a lie would put people on the verge of a great decline in personality. In the book "Lying, Moral Choice in Public Affairs and Private Life", she wrote: "Psychological barriers are gone, the ability to distinguish between true and false is more vague, and the concept that lies will not be detected may tend to be paranoid." Some psychologists who study lying suggest that anyone who wants to tell a "white lie" to his friends, relatives and colleagues had better think of a question involving psychological reaction. We believe that so-called white lies are harmful to integrity. Of course, the lies here are not what people usually call shocking scams, but lies that pretend to affirm or support (actually disapprove) the practices, opinions or opinions of spouses, relatives and friends. Take Tom, the company manager in Southern California, for example. Tom spends Thanksgiving with his wife and son at his mother-in-law's house every year. In fact, he didn't like the "special" pumpkin pie made by his mother-in-law, but he told her how delicious her pie was so as not to hurt her feelings. "Is it wrong to do so?" Tom asked when consulting a psychiatrist. This is a question that many people will ask. The psychiatrist asked him to look at the lie from his mother-in-law's point of view. Suppose one day, Tom's son confided the truth in front of his grandmother, and her mother-in-law discovered Tom's true feelings. She will tell Tom, "Thank you for your kindness?" I also felt emotionally hurt and said, "How could you mislead me like this for so many years? What else are you hiding from me? " Besides, what questions will Tom's mother-in-law have about herself? Does Tom's son also want to imitate his father's lies? What would he think of his father's character? Will he still believe what his father said? A novelist once wrote this sentence: "When we first tried to lie, we fell into a web of chaos that we woven." We believe that there are fundamental mistakes in the other party's understanding and understanding of some concepts. Honesty is based on mutual honesty. Any deception, even the so-called "good faith" lies, can be said to be completely contrary to "integrity". I don't think it is necessary to demonstrate the concept of "white lies" here, and it has been analyzed clearly. Honesty has been advocated since ancient times. The history can be traced back to 359 BC, and Shang Yang's legislation in Qin Dynasty enriched Qiang Bing with honesty. The story of "South Gate Standing" was staged. Shang Yang has been engaged in legal work for ten years. "Everyone in Qin is happy. If the road is not left behind, there will be no thieves in the mountains, and the family will give enough to others." Today, with China's entry into the WTO and the growing market economy, it will do great harm to economic life and bring disastrous consequences to social life if fake and shoddy products are allowed to run rampant and lose their credibility. The turbidity current of dishonesty will erode the trust between people like a plague and hinder the pace of socialist market economy. It is urgent to advocate honesty, punish dishonesty and improve credit ethics and credit legal system. Time waits for no one to ask the other side about defense. Lying is not good, and it is a lie that hinders honesty. What is honesty? What does our society need?
We should reject lies and stick to honesty. How can we avoid the embarrassment encountered by the other party in work and life? We want to:
If you refuse at the beginning, there will be no embarrassing situation later. We are now living in an open and unpopular era.
"Don't say that the hat worn by the aunt next door is ugly, do you hear?"
"You have to say to the new class teacher,' I'm glad you are our class teacher'!"
We don't say similar words from the heart, but choose nice words that don't make people sad. This is because we believe that there can be no shortage of white lies in life.
Shall we look at the problem from the opposite angle? Someone wears an ugly hat, and we can tell him realistically that it's really bad. This is because always telling white lies will also bring you trouble. So we should learn when to tell the truth and when to tell a white lie, otherwise it will lead to the result of not knowing the truth from the false.
For example, suppose you receive a birthday invitation from a friend who is not very close at the weekend. You don't want to go, but you refuse because you are afraid of each other's anger, and your promise is ambiguous. Time flies. It's almost my friend's birthday, and you still don't want to go. Now I'll find a reason to tell each other that you can't go. Think about it, what will the other party think of you at this time? The other party will definitely see that you don't want to go and will be very angry.
You didn't refuse at first, but you still made your friend angry. What will it be like to show your attitude when you receive an invitation?
"I'm glad to be invited, but I can't go because I have something in town that day."
If you refuse at the beginning, there will be no embarrassment later.
Please note that even a white lie, as a lie itself, is a violation of honesty. Therefore, whether a lie is for a good purpose or not, as a lie itself will inevitably hinder honesty. So, I want to speak out here, let's reject white lies and build an honest society together.
Please note that there is a big omission in your defense. We think we should start with the definition to distinguish things and synthesize the interpretation of Kangxi Dictionary. A white lie is not seeking truth from facts, telling lies, exaggerating, covering up and distorting the facts. From the structural analysis of white lie phrases, it is a partial phrase and the head word is a lie, so white lie is a lie in essence. It is an indisputable fact that white lies are often used by some "professional liars" because of their uncertainty. A "lie" itself is dark, and the likes and dislikes of things are not measured by the purpose of things. A white lie itself is a lie. Although he has shed his beggar's clothes and put on his cheongsam, he still can't get rid of the essence of lies, which means cheating and hinders honesty. White lies have a good starting point, but once they are exposed, they will do more harm to each other. As a lie itself, it is already a violation of good faith.
Among the 20-character moral standards put forward in the Implementation Outline of Citizen Moral Construction promulgated by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, "sincerity" is a very important criterion, which means seeking truth and justice. The ancients said that "true self" was sincere. Not refined and sincere, not moving.
As General Secretary Hu Jintao said in his speech: "The socialist harmonious society we want to build should be a society with democracy and the rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature."
From the above analysis, we believe that no matter whether a lie is for a good purpose or not, being a lie will inevitably hinder honesty.
Although a lie is well-intentioned, as a lie itself, it is a violation of good faith. Therefore, whether a lie is for a good purpose or not, making a lie will inevitably hinder honesty.
Looking back suddenly with the national spirit, it turns out that honesty is in the dim light. Thousands of years later, it can still be clearly heard that honesty is the virtue of the Chinese nation, just as the Great Wall is a symbol of the Chinese nation. If a person loses integrity, he will leave hypocrisy: if an enterprise loses integrity, it will face bankruptcy; And if a nation loses its integrity, it will degenerate and perish!
Keeping faith is the pure land of keeping faith, keeping faith is the success of keeping faith, and keeping faith is that the Chinese nation can last forever.
Here I want to ask other students, when a person loses integrity, is his starting point still good?
So-called white lies can also lead to unpredictable consequences. Give an example: someone is terminally ill. In order to let him spend the rest of his life safely, his relatives and friends have kept him in the dark. There is no malice or selfishness in this, but it is often unsatisfactory and deception cannot last long. On the contrary, patients lose the rationality of cooperating with treatment and the opportunity to deal with personal affairs. Sisera, a female philosopher? Polk warned that such a lie would put people on the verge of a great decline in personality. In the book "Lying, Moral Choice in Public Affairs and Private Life", she wrote: "Psychological barriers are gone, the ability to distinguish between true and false is more vague, and the concept that lies will not be detected may tend to be paranoid." Some psychologists who study lying suggest that anyone who wants to tell a "white lie" to his friends, relatives and colleagues had better think of a question involving psychological reaction.
A white lie is an excuse!
Anyone who uses an excuse wants to use it to protect himself or others. Help us save face and let us endure setbacks.
Gasmel said: "It is quite common to think that you are better than yourself." The excuses people come up with are sometimes unexpected. Why should people deceive themselves? American humorist Ryder pointed out: "Most people don't live in reality, but in fantasy, especially their own fantasy." On the other hand, it is sometimes cruel to know the truth about yourself and your friends. Better not know.
However, most excuses are destructive. If you use excuses unconsciously, you will fool yourself even if you don't fool others. So I ask the other party to realize that more honesty and less excuses! At the same time, I want to ask each other, if everyone has this view, how can we build an honest society and make our country develop further in honesty?
I think that even if a lie is well-intentioned, its negative effects can be seen everywhere. No need for examples. This negative influence on honesty is often hidden and chronic poisoning. Ignoring this poison is undoubtedly a cover-up Excuse me, the other debater, you keep saying that white lies and honesty are two categories. Please give an accurate definition of white lies.
If a country or a nation can always treat and evaluate objective things with a fair heart, it will certainly create an atmosphere of honesty and integrity, rather than a vicious circle of intrigue.
Zhu? In the government work report made at the Fifth Session of the Ninth National People's Congress, Premier F pointed out that it is necessary to "strengthen the construction of social credit and gradually form a good fashion of honesty and morality in the whole society". Making friends in good faith is an important content of Chinese traditional morality, and it is also a fundamental move 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 economy and society and the evolution of people's values, the lack of credit in some fields and individuals has increasingly become a distressing social hazard, which must be highly valued. As the other side argues, a lie can't be white, because it hinders honesty. What is honesty, my friend? What is lacking in our society?
We believe that there are fundamental mistakes in the other party's understanding and understanding of some concepts. Honesty is based on the frankness of the other party. Any deception, even a so-called "white-hearted" lie, can be said to be completely sad and relaxed with frankness. I don't think the concept of "honesty" needs to be demonstrated here, and it has been analyzed clearly.
