Connect with the reality of life, for example, talk about your understanding that man and nature should live in harmony.

Harmony between man and nature is an inevitable choice.

Harmony between man and nature is the only way for economic and social development to a certain extent and stage, and it is the inevitable choice for human beings after summing up their experiences and lessons.

In the long history before the industrial revolution, the level of productivity was relatively low, human activities had little impact on nature, and man and nature maintained a relatively harmonious state. Philosophy emphasizes the connection, similarity and unity between "heaven" and "man" and "nature" and "man-made". Zhuangzi believes that "heaven and earth coexist with me, and everything is one with me", and heaven and man are one. Confucius advocated the theory of "destiny", regarded "destiny" as the master of all things, and asked people to "respect destiny" and "fear destiny"; Laozi advocates "natural inaction" and thinks that people are powerless in front of nature and society. This simple view of "harmony between man and nature" led to the close and harmonious relationship between man and nature in ancient China. To cope with the flood, we should "choose hills", "move cities to avoid water" to avoid the flood, "dredge nine rivers" to divert the flood, and leave enough space on both sides of the river to make the water "available", all of which are the embodiment of this idea. In the development of water and soil resources, the pre-Qin period emphasized that "the axe can enter the mountain in time, but the tree can't be used" and "those who don't plant trees have no trees", which played a very good role in protecting vegetation and planting trees for afforestation.

With the passage of time, the rapid increase of population, the accumulation of human experience and knowledge, and the development of science and technology, especially after the industrial revolution, the ability of human beings to transform and influence nature has become stronger and stronger, and the idea that "man can conquer nature" and "man is the master of nature" has become stronger and stronger, and nature has gradually been regarded as an inexhaustible treasure, exploited and utilized unscrupulously, and at the same time regarded as a bottomless garbage bin. Discharging waste water, waste residue and waste gas into it unscrupulously. In recent decades, China's action of "changing the world" is unprecedented. In order to carry too many people, strive for more space and produce enough food, people occupy the river beach, reclaim land around the lake and destroy forests (grass) to open up wasteland; In order to meet the rapidly increasing demand for water, people have built one water storage and diversion project after another, which can cut off the Yellow River, dry up the Haihe River, drain the underground aquifer and use every drop of water. In order to reduce the production cost, sewage and wastewater are discharged into rivers and lakes without treatment.

More than a hundred years ago, Engels pointed out that human beings can dominate nature by changing it to serve their own purposes, but we should remember that human beings have never stood outside nature when governing nature.

Nowadays, the concept of sustainable development is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Facing all kinds of problems in the field of water resources in China, it is an inevitable choice to change from "transforming and conquering nature" to "harmony between man and nature". Of course, this choice is not a simple repetition and regression of the distant past, but an all-round development and sublimation based on a deeper understanding and grasp of the law of water control and the pursuit and desire for sustainable development.

Practical examples:

Hugh Sawyer is a staff member of Sotheby's auction house in Britain. He is a real white-collar worker. Sawyer's second job is a loyal environmental volunteer. At the age of 32, Sawyer voluntarily gave up city life and moved to the outdoor life in the suburbs of London for nearly a year. He said that the purpose of doing this is to prove a point that human beings can survive without destroying the natural environment.

At Sawyer's home in Rockno, Oxfordshire, a tent can hold all his belongings. Like all office workers, Sawyer got up early, washed and started making breakfast. There is no microwave oven and gas stove here. Instead, there is a simple stove. Nevertheless, Sawyer's breakfast was passable, and the steaming black tea looked delicious.

After packing, Sawyer put away his tent and began to work. It was cold and summer, so he spent nearly a year. Summer in England is cool, humid and very comfortable, but winter is cold and humid. For Sawyer, the coming winter is a severe test.

Sawyer's behavior was not recognized by people, and his friends didn't want to hitch a ride with him, so they gave him the nickname "monkey in the gutter" or "George in the forest". Despite many misunderstandings, Sawyer went his own way for the ideal of environmental protection.

Counterparty: Your opponent's debate topic must be "Man and nature can live in harmony". Then ask her first: Why did bird flu break out last year, and now the whole world is still preparing for the upcoming large-scale bird flu epidemic? Why did British Prime Minister Blair propose that the United States, China, Britain and other countries work together to solve the global greenhouse effect problem? Why did a strong wind destroy the whole city of New Orleans, Florida, USA? Why did the tsunami last year kill more than 300,000 people?

Or you can give some examples of other human beings being punished.

On the other hand, judging from the current lifestyle of human beings, people's demand for material is too strong, and all material things will eventually be obtained from nature and then produced by factories. Only when human beings review themselves morally and learn to live a simple life can there be harmony between nature and human beings. However, at present, human beings can't do this, so they can't live in harmony with nature. Because human desire and pursuit of material is too strong.
