道德常常能填補智慧的缺陷,而智慧卻永遠填補不了道德的缺陷。小編整理了,歡迎閱讀!
篇一
Someone once said that morality is not really the doctrine of how to make ourselves happy but of how we are to be worthy of happiness.Morality is a discussion point in society,and there are some examples about morality.
Respecting the old and caring for the young is a general knowledge.But,we often hear the news about many young people don't respect the old,some parents abuse their children,some businessman indeed chase for the possible profit at the cost of being lack of ethics and so on.Why there are so many examples about morality?Is the tempt of interest or lowest permissible level of virtue?
To my way of thinking,in order to make a country strong, moral education is be of prime importance.We should be aware of the importance of moral building.
篇二
We can see such signs as “No Smoking” in some public places, which is a kind ofmeasure taken to ban smoking in public places. However, concerning about thismeasures, different people hold divergent opinions. The smokers protest againstthat it is a kind of action to deprive of their free right, while thenon-smokers are in favor of banning smoking in public places.
在一些公共場所我們可以看到像“禁止吸菸”這一類的標誌,這都是在公共場所禁菸的方法。然而,對於這種措施,不同的人有不同的想法。吸菸者認為這是剝奪他們自由權的行為,而不吸菸的人則是支援在公共場所禁止吸菸。
Inmy opinion, I am inclined to support the latter one—smoking should be banned inpublic places. There are reasons accounting for my point. For one thing, peoplewill be harmed by the second-hand smoking if someone smokes in public places,especially the infants and children. For another, banning smoking in publicplaces is also beneficial to the smokers. If they are banned to smoke in publicplaces, they will restrain themselves from smoking and smoke less. In the meantime,it is a contribution to reduce the air pollution.
在我看來,我更傾向於支援後者——在公共場所應該禁止吸菸。我有我的原因。一方面,如果有人在公共場所吸菸的話,人們就會受到二手菸的傷害,特別是嬰兒和兒童。另一方面,在公共場所禁止吸菸對於吸菸者也是有好處的。如果在公共場所禁止吸菸,他們就會被限制吸菸,少抽菸。同時,對於減少空氣汙染也是有貢獻的。
Therefore,I advocate that smoking in public places should be banned so that we canbreathe the fresh air and suffer less from the second-hand smoking. Let’s worktogether to create and sustain out green and fresh environment.
因此,我主張在公共場所禁止吸菸,這樣我們才可以呼吸到新鮮的空氣,少吸二手菸。讓我們一起共創造、維持綠色清新的環境。
篇三
In late February, a mainland tourist caused a disturbance on a Hong Kong subway. The reason? Eating in public. In Hong Kong it is illegal to eat on the subway, and when the tourist was scolded by a Hong Kong local, the situation escalated into a verbal slinging match.
In New York City, eating on the subway is also controversial. No law bans the practice, but a Democratic state senator introduced one last week. The proposed law would ban eating on the subway system and fine first time violators $250 ***1,579 yuan***, according to The New York Times. Proponents of the bill argue that eating on the subway attracts rats. Others say the broader target should be litterbugs, rather than those who discreetly sip their coffee and eat their bagels on the way to work. They also argue that “street food” is an important part of New York’s culture and history. Banning its consumption in public areas such as the subway would have negative effects.
Street food, and eating in public places is an entrenched cultural practice in cities as diverse as New York, Beijing and Paris. But while common, it has been traditionally thought of as the domain of the lower classes. Eating in public was ***and in some places, still is*** associated with uncivilized, poorer people. In the 19th century, eating in public was seen as a threat to morality and public health. Putnam’s ***a popular magazine at the time*** stated: “Eating in public may beget a certain freedom of manner and nonchalance in little ladies and gentlemen.” It was something people in the Victorian era did not want to encourage. A recent New York Times article drew a link between this moral panic about street food and concern over the growing populations of Irish, German, Italian and Jewish immigrants who ran food carts in the 1800s. “To Victorian society, immigrant street peddlers were “hucksters,” a name that retains a whiff of moral judgment to this day.”
In Australia, street food is not something you see every day. Carts selling tasty morsels only come out for festivals or market days. However, eating in public places such as parks is encouraged. Outdoor barbeques at the beach or picnics in the countryside are common. While eating on public transport is discouraged, it would unlikely lead to any sort of conflict in Australia. From an Australian perspective, street food is an exciting new dining opportunity, and not one I would associate with being uncivilized. It’s also very tasty.
China’s street food scene is similar to that of New York City’s: it is a culturally entrenched practice and one that adds a lot of color and flavor to the streetscape. But whether you love eating street food, or have to eat your breakfast on the run, it’s best to be considerate when enjoying a bite in public.
