We believe that honesty mainly depends on self-discipline, and heteronomy is a supplementary means when lawyers are insufficient. Heteronomy is mandatory and can only cure the symptoms, not the root cause. If a person is not self-disciplined and commits the crime of fraud, even if he is put into prison and punished by law, he will not repent and will try to deceive others again in the future. Such heteronomy did not play a fundamental role. On the contrary, self-discipline plays a fundamental role in the cultivation of honest behavior. Self-discipline is to be strict with yourself, consciously use laws and regulations to restrain your behavior, and always be an honest person who "takes me as an example" and "starts from me". Then dishonest ideas will be stifled at birth. How can such an industry be afraid of the supervision of others? This kind of self-discipline is more thorough and effective than other laws, and it also saves a lot of supervision costs.
From a macro perspective, this society has been self-disciplined. Members of society make their own laws, abide by them and supervise themselves. Therefore, we reiterate that "honesty mainly depends on self-discipline", heteronomy is of course important, and self-discipline is more reliable.
I would like to ask another debater: What dominates human behavior?
Guide the other party to answer: "Dominated by its ideology." After that, it discussed:
Marxist philosophy holds that existence determines consciousness. Man is a highly conscious animal, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. If keeping promises can bring him benefits, he will keep promises; if keeping promises can bring him losses, he will choose to break promises. Don't you see that counterfeit products are repeatedly condemned or someone is doing it? This is because we failed to crack down on counterfeit products. After considering the cost and the risk of being hit, the counterfeiter thinks that fraud will bring him benefits. To make a profit, cost coins are more direct and faster than fakes, but cost coins are less than fakes, because cost coins need to bear more and greater risks of being hit than fakes. By the same token, if the legal system and social environment give enough restraint and punishment to treachery, then people will establish that honesty is the fundamental consciousness of people, and most people will be able to maintain honesty. On the contrary, if individuals and legal persons (units) can break their promises and enrich themselves without being punished, who will keep their promises for a long time? From the perspective of a country, it is necessary to establish a correct legal system that can promote its sustainable development. Otherwise, it will be defeated, bullied or even annexed in international competition. Globally, human beings are bound by the natural environment. Every country and even the whole world, without exception, builds a reasonable system under external pressure. To build a reasonable social system, honesty is the foundation, so governments and the international community are trying to build honesty. It can be seen that honesty mainly depends on heteronomy!
From a social perspective, the internal cause of the establishment of an honest society is a mechanism that urges people to consciously abide by honesty. Strive to grasp the leading role of the debate and control the discussion of the debate at the social level, and the chances of winning will be great. On the contrary, if the discussion focuses on the personal level, you will be passive. There is no one-sided debate topic, which is conducive to advocating heteronomy at the social level, but it is conducive to advocating self-discipline at the personal level. The debate competition does not pursue long speeches, but the language should be easy to understand. The goal is to arouse the voice of the audience and get the recognition of the judges.
