High school argumentative essays with fresh facts and arguments

I have collected popular Chinese language materials, including narratives and discussions. I hope it will be helpful to you!

In 2009, New China celebrated its 60th birthday. As national strength increases, people's living standards gradually improve, but the debate on social ethics has become increasingly fierce, making the construction of a new moral system increasingly urgent. On the last day of 2009, when I think back on the past, there are always some people and things flashing back in my mind. They were either criticized or praised. By taking stock of several moral events in 2009, we hope to trigger readers' memories and at the same time arouse the public's thinking on how to construct a socialist moral outlook.

1: Hubei "Searching for Bodies for Money"

Incident

On October 24, two teenagers accidentally fell into the water in the Baota Bay area of ??Jingzhou, Hubei. In order to rescue the teenagers who fell into the water, more than 10 college students from Hubei Yangtze University jumped into the river hand in hand to rescue. Two teenagers were rescued, but three college students unfortunately died. Just when people were sighing for those who bravely acted for justice, a piece of news made the whole incident develop in another direction.

A college student involved in the rescue told the media: "There was a mechanical fishing boat parked less than 5 meters away from where the two teenagers fell into the water. Our classmates all knelt down to the owner of the fishing boat and begged them to look at it. Can we rescue Fang Zhao and the other three? The boss said, if there are no dead people on the Yangtze River on any day, how can we make money if we don’t save the living people? If we can rescue the corpses, it will cost 12,000 yuan per person during the day and 10,000 yuan at night. Eight thousand, one hand pays and the other hand fishes people..." Later, media investigation revealed that there was a private salvage team in the local area that made huge profits, specializing in making money by fishing for corpses. It sparked outrage for a while.

This incident was once the most clicked news on the Internet, and it still makes people feel mixed emotions when reading it. Three 19-year-old college students sacrificed their young lives in order to rescue a boy who fell into the water. What they saved was not only the two boys, but also the declining social morality. The indifference and profit-seeking of those who retrieved the body aroused not only the It's people's anger, and the public's yearning for the good morals of the past. It is hoped that after this incident, similar "harvesting of corpses for money" will disappear, and more and more people will lend a helping hand when others ask for help.

2: The second generation of rich people’s “racing scandal”

Incident

At about 8:00 pm on May 7, 2009, 24-year-old Tan Zhuo was arrested in Zhejiang Province He was hit by a modified Mitsubishi sports car driven by Hu Bin on Wen'er West Road in Hangzhou. He was evacuated for 120 seconds and died of his injuries. Witnesses claimed that Tan Zhuo was knocked about 5 meters high and then fell heavily 20 meters away. Once the incident was reported, it immediately attracted public attention. Sensitive terms such as rich second generation and drag racing have caused huge controversy. The case ended with the Hu family paying 1.13 million yuan to the victim's parents and Hu Bin being sentenced to three years in prison. During this period, many incidents such as "Seventy Codes", "Hu Bin's Substitute Gate", and "Reparation for Prison Time" evolved, making it the most ups and downs of the popular Internet events in 2009.

According to media reports, after the accident, a group of young people stood next to the bloody body, acting as if nothing had happened, holding hands and even blowing smoke rings leisurely... These "second generation rich" despised The behavior of others' lives has deeply stung the moral nerves of the people, and has also caused the image of this group of young people to plummet. There are endless accusations against the "second generation rich" on the Internet. Click

The reason why Hu Bin’s speed racing case has attracted special attention from netizens is that it exposed the long-standing chronic problem of speed racing in downtown Hangzhou and even major cities across the country where wealthy people gather. The long-simmering resentment of the "rich second generation" has been given a channel to vent. But at the same time, it also awakens the social consciousness that everyone is equal before the law and everyone respects life.

Along with the "racing scandal" of the rich second generation, a debate about the driving ethics of drivers immediately began. Not long after, an old man in Lanzhou threw a brick at a car that ran a red light on a zebra crossing, which quickly attracted widespread attention.

At the end of the year, Zhang Mingbao, who killed five people while driving while drunk, was sentenced to life imprisonment, which brought an end to a series of traffic topics in 2009. The once heated debate on the relationship between people and vehicles still has no result. As the news hot spots have shifted, the issue of road safety has come to an end. Although the issue is no longer a hot topic, everyone walking on the road must be careful about their personal safety!

Three: "Public Opinion Gate" of Migrant Workers with Cold

Incident

Chen Guofang and Zhang Dayou are from Neijiang, Sichuan, and work in a factory in Guangxi. On December 20, the two had a holiday and were going home to celebrate the New Year. On the bus, Chen and Zhang felt their throats were hoarse and accompanied by a slight cough. Every time I coughed, passengers would look at me strangely. Therefore, Chen Guofang and Zhang Dayou consciously put on masks. Unexpectedly, their actions attracted more strange looks. In the early morning of the 21st, the bus entered the service area. Nearly 30 passengers in the bus conducted a "public opinion vote". All passengers raised their hands and agreed that the two people should leave the bus immediately and go to the service area for "isolation." Immediately, the two were kicked out of the car. At 4 a.m., members of the highway law enforcement detachment discovered Chen Guofang and Zhang Dayou who were walking on the highway. After examination, it was found that the two people only suffered from common colds.

Click

Throughout the incident, people cast moral condemnation on the 30 passengers and believed that this was discrimination against migrant workers. But I believe that at this time when talk of "Influenza A" has turned sour, such a tragedy may happen to anyone. Suddenly, I remembered that a few days ago, a 14-year-old child who was forced to stand was frozen to death in the cold night. The teacher argued that the child died "very peacefully and comfortably", and I couldn't help but tremble in my heart. This kind of selfishness, indifference to other people's lives, and lack of human morality may become a murderous weapon in any incident. Public opinion is a high-sounding reason. However, real public opinion is not the result of a show of hands among people within a certain range.

Four: Xingyang citizens were "charitable"

Incident

In August 2009, the media reported that Xingyang City, Henan Province issued a red-headed document requiring that The city has carried out nationwide charity activities, established more than 1,000 charity organizations, and elected more than 5,000 charity ambassadors to build Xingyang into a "charity city". According to an official statement from Xingyang, since the "Mobilization Meeting for National Charity Activities in Xingyang" was held on August 6, a "charity city" has been built with the approach of "party committee leadership and government promotion", and charity work offices have been set up in municipal units, towns, and streets. 71, established 444 charity workstations in schools, villages, neighborhood committees and larger enterprises, developed 2,560 "charity ambassadors" who are enthusiastic about charity and willing to help others, and also launched a series of "charity supermarkets, charity pharmacies, charity photo studios, charity tables" "wait.

As soon as the news came out, it was immediately bombarded by public opinion. However, Xingyang did not give up its efforts to build a "Charity City", but continued to focus on promoting national charity, and relied on this platform to achieve a charity achievement of "orphans can enjoy a minimum monthly subsidy of 700 yuan" that surpassed other cities across the country. Over the past four months, Xingyang has indeed come more into the public eye, in the name of China's first "Charity City".

People have never doubted the vastness and indestructibility of administrative power, nor have they doubted that "universal charity" will have considerable effects in the short term. When administrative power concentrates all its power When we gather all resources, adopt all means, and do one thing wholeheartedly, we will be quite efficient and achieve results quickly. This is the power of the national system and planning means. However, this power-promoting model lacks sustainability—especially for charity, which can concentrate its efforts in the form of a campaign to raise a donation in a short period of time, semi-voluntarily and semi-mandatorily, to create an atmosphere of "universal charity" , but this atmosphere is difficult to sustain.

"No voluntariness, no charity". Charity is the most reluctant and forced. It mainly relies on citizens' consciousness and cultural influence, and relies on moral cultivation and spiritual enlightenment. A city can develop materially and spiritually. To a certain extent, when the affluent public reaches a certain level, the city will spontaneously develop a charitable spirit and culture, and people will be enthusiastic about donating and doing good deeds.

However, with Xingyang’s current level of development, it is simply impossible to sustain “universal charity”.

Five: Tobacco company’s “naming gate”

Events

“Sichuan Tobacco Hope Primary School, Zhongnanhai Love Primary School, ‘Welcome Pine’ Hope Primary School, Hongta Hope Primary School, Furong Student Aid Fund..." In mid-December, a tobacco control expert published a list of Hope Primary Schools sponsored and named by tobacco companies, criticizing these companies for their reputation, claiming to be doing charity, but actually promoting tobacco products. .

According to incomplete statistics, we currently have as many as 17 Hope Primary Schools named after tobacco. After the earthquake last year, a "Sichuan Tobacco Hope Primary School" was established in the disaster-stricken area of ??Sichuan. Not only does it have an obvious "Sichuan Tobacco Hope Primary School" on the roof, "China Tobacco" logo, and a stone slab downstairs also read "Determine to contribute to society, tobacco will help you become a talent." This approach triggered condemnation from the media and many anti-smoking people.

Click

It is understandable that tobacco companies donate to build Hope Primary School, but there are some problems with tobacco companies naming the school. As we all know, tobacco is very harmful to minors, and smoking by minors is expressly prohibited by relevant regulations. Tobacco companies' naming of Hope Primary School makes people feel that their public welfare activities and social responsibilities have somewhat impure purposes. They are not sponsoring selflessly, but using advertising promotions and sponsorships to beautify their image. If corporate donations can help children complete their education, there is no need to ban it, just regulate it: it is clear that tobacco companies can sponsor, but this sponsorship should be unconditional, including so-called "naming" rights.

The enthusiasm of tobacco companies to name the Hope Primary School has also made people think about the distance between charity and fame and fortune.

Six: The old lady with bean cakes "gave up money but was not accused"

Incident

Zhou Cuilan, a 59-year-old resident of Huaiyin District, Huai'an City, usually sells bean cakes from door to door. You can make a handful of money per kilogram of soybean cake. On the morning of November 6, she picked up 1,700 yuan in cash while pushing her bicycle to sell bean cakes. After many twists and turns to find the owner, Zhou Jiwei, an unexpected scene happened to her: Zhou Jiwei insisted that he lost 8,200 yuan, so he insisted on returning the other 6,500 yuan. Shortly after the incident, Zhou Cuilan and one of the witnesses, Wang Changyu, received a court summons. It turned out that Zhou Jiwei took them both to court. Holding the summons in hand, the illiterate Zhou Cuilan not only felt wronged, but also murmured in her heart: I picked up the money and returned it, why am I still being sued to court?

Click

From the perspective of the Chinese cultural background, the owner Zhou Jiwei’s behavior is obviously unkind. However, considering that "finding money without being ignorant" has been elevated to legal will, his sincerity seems to be understandable. However, in the real world, not everything can be absolutely right or wrong. When there are some details that cannot be discerned and the absolute truth cannot be discovered immediately, the social impact of Mrs. Beancake turning into a defendant after stealing money will inevitably cause damage to the moral value of the public.

This incident naturally reminds people of the Nanjing Peng Yu case. When the law cannot identify hypocrisy with absolute facts, the final verdict in the Peng Yu case has had a negative impact on public moral values ??that continues to this day. Otherwise, it would not have happened that two young men in Nanjing found a stack of hundred-yuan bills on the roadside at the same time. They were worried that they might be misunderstood if they touched the money, so they chose to wait for the police to arrive next to the money. What is moral is moral and what is legal is law. This is a manifestation of a civilized society. However, the law has an influence on the direction of morality. Taking this into account, the law should also be rich in human touch.

Seven: Celebrity “Endorsement Gate”

Incident

Deeply involved in the “Inheritance Gate” dispute that has not yet been resolved, Hou Yaohua, the number one “celebrity” in the cross talk industry, once again Become the target of public criticism. On November 1, the China Advertising Association issued a notice naming Hou Yaohua *** as the endorser of 10 false product advertisements including health food, medicine, and medical equipment. At the same time, the report pointed the finger at spokespersons, including hosts, for their irresponsible, unjust behavior, violating national laws and regulations, and causing material, mental and physical harm to consumers.

At that time, the Japanese SK-II brand cosmetics endorsed by many female celebrities such as Mok Wenwei, Big S, Carina Lau, and Ruby Lin were found to contain banned ingredients by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine; the Sanlu milk powder endorsed by Deng Jie and Ni Ping caused many A child died; Tang Guoqiang and Xie Xiaodong's endorsements of "Infertility Hospital" were accused of being false, and there were also endorsements of "Hidden Secret Oil Expelling" slimming tea, "Ant Power God" endorsements... Problems with celebrity endorsement advertisements have continued one after another, making People began to question the credibility of celebrity endorsements.

Click

If you make a mistake, you can be forgiven, but if you know you have made a mistake and do not regret it, you have made a lot of money, and you still complain about yourself as a victim, then it is unforgivable. What's more, whether the endorsed products are as effective as the spokesperson says, celebrities, as public figures, should be responsible for the audience who trust them, and should make certain screenings, instead of just giving money to deceive them.

Some people have proposed legislation to restrict celebrity endorsements and severely punish illegal activities. After all, in a society governed by the rule of law, only through clear division of responsibilities can the interests of the public be effectively protected from infringement. But relying solely on legal constraints cannot activate the stars' sense of moral self-discipline. The fear of strict laws is only temporary. The top priority is to formulate a "game rule" for celebrity endorsements. Only by treating both the symptoms and the symptoms can celebrities continue to speak rationally along the track of the rule of law and morality. However, the regulations for celebrity endorsements are easy to formulate, but how to supervise them requires corresponding specific measures from relevant departments.

Eight: The doctor on duty "stole food"

Incident

On November 3, a five-month-old baby named Xu Baobao in Nanjing suffered from high fever, orbital disease, Due to swelling and other symptoms, he was admitted to Nanjing Children's Hospital for treatment and died the next morning. It is understood that the family members have repeatedly reported the worsening condition of the child to the hospital, and even knelt down to beg for treatment. However, the doctor on duty played games such as "stealing food" and failed to rescue the baby in time. But later, the Nanjing Municipal Health Bureau reported that there were no cases of medical staff playing games or complaining at the hospital, and that the hospital's rescue measures for children were reasonable. Immediately, a netizen posted about this public case, and the "vegetable-stealing doctor" became famous on the Internet and attracted the attention of higher-level leaders. By reviewing surveillance videos and restoring Internet access records, it was confirmed that the doctor on duty did indeed play online games that night, and that there were serious flaws in the hospital's diagnostic and treatment measures and services.

Click

If you ask what is the most popular online game this year, the answer must be Happy Farm; if you ask what is the most popular game on Kaixin.com, it must be "Stealing Food". Unexpectedly, a simple online game would involve a life-threatening lawsuit. While people accused doctors of losing professional ethics, they also pointed the finger at Happy Farm. In real life, the behavior of "stealing food to lose one's ambition" is common, and it has also caused parents to worry about their children's education. If you think about it carefully, the reason why people are keen on "stealing food" is precisely because "stealing" on the Internet does not require legal responsibility, which satisfies people's yearning for "getting something for nothing." This is probably not just as simple as losing one's ambition by playing with things, but also gives people a hint of moral worries.

9: Yu Qiuyu’s “fraudulent donation”

Incident

In a blog post, the editor of "Beijing Literature" magazine claimed that Yu Qiuyu has become the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area He raised questions after donating 200,000 yuan, saying that he ultimately did not fulfill his promise and the actual donation did not exceed 60,000 yuan. Subsequently, Yi Zhongtian posted three blog posts questioning Yu Qiuyu's moral standards. One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and Yu Qiuyu received verbal and written criticism from all parties in the country.

A few days later, Yu Qiuyu responded to the "Fraudulent Donation Gate" incident for the first time, saying that "they are talking nonsense" and said, "Just after the earthquake, we decided to donate 200,000 yuan to build a Hope Primary School, but the disaster area The leader of the Education Bureau suggested that I donate to three libraries and let me choose the books myself, so I spent 200,000 yuan to buy books and an additional 300,000 yuan to purchase library equipment. All three libraries opened on September 1 this year. Sunset completed.

"But some people still question whether Yu Qiuyu's donation has changed in nature from donation to library construction to book donation. And when all of this has not yet been cashed in, it has been widely publicized, so does it count?" "False donation"?

Who said that charity marketing is all corporate behavior, and individuals can do it successfully. According to an insider, some cultures now Celebrities cooperate with commercial companies to donate. The donor is a cultural star, but the commercial company comes forward and the commercial company provides the money. In this way, the celebrity gains fame and the businessman makes an advertisement; then, the company takes the celebrity's name in exchange for money, and the celebrity takes the company's money. Money is worth money, and this kind of "charity marketing" must be more clever. Going back to Qiu Yu's controversy about fraudulent donations, in fact, donating more or less is a personal preference, and the amount of money cannot be used to measure the size of love. It is unethical to engage in personal promotion under the guise of charity. The public’s constant questioning has forced a series of inside stories, and people are asking whether the final promised donation is in place. The ultimate goal. Yu Qiuyu’s “Fraudulent Donation Gate” is just one of the stories related to these two words that happened in the public welfare craze.

Ten: Nongfu Spring’s “Donation Gate”. "

Incident

On August 11, the "Public Welfare Times" under the supervision of the Ministry of Civil Affairs published an article on the front page "Nongfu Spring's "one-cent" donation is questioned", once again detonating the enterprise The controversy over “promise but not donation”

In 2002, Nongfu Spring repeatedly broadcast a commercial on major TV stations including CCTV, “From now on, every time you drink a bottle of Nongfu Spring, you will pay for it. The children's desire donated a penny; by 2008, the Sunshine Project will bring the joy of sports to 200,000 children." However, the investigation results of the "Public Welfare Times" show that if the "One Penny" charity commitment is fulfilled, Based on Nongfu Spring's annual market sales of 1.5 billion to 2 billion bottles, the company donates at least 15 million yuan to the "Sunshine Project" student fund every year. In fact, the only public cash donation that can be found is the donation in 2006. 5 million yuan, which was inconsistent with the original promise.

A week later, Nongfu Spring launched a high-profile counterattack, suing the Public Welfare Times and the China Social Work Association for "malicious defamation".

Click

Incidents like "Nongfu Spring" are not uncommon among companies participating in charitable activities. Driven by brand and market interests, more and more companies are choosing charity marketing models to promote charity. Win the goodwill of consumers. As long as you can give a piece of love, whether it is charity or marketing, consumers will not care too much about it. With diverse social values, people have tolerated marketing based on charity, but the key is for companies to "speak." "Have the final say." To ensure that a company's "philanthropic commitments" are fulfilled, it is not enough to just wait for moral constraints. Legislation and supervision mechanisms are also needed.
