A self-propositional argumentative essay on giving up or not sitting on the old man

Should young people give their seats to old people?

Should young people give their seats to old people? This problem has been discussed by many people. The basic viewpoints can be divided into two categories: the first viewpoint: young people should give their seats to the elderly; The second view: young people can't give their seats to old people.

This problem puzzles many young people and middle-aged people. Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, but today, especially on the issue of giving up one's seat, it has caused great controversy. Why is this? First, let's analyze the first point of view. The first view is that we young people should give our seats to the elderly. In China's traditional virtues, "respecting the old and loving the young" is included. Mencius once said: "always old, always old;" Young people are young and people are young. " Zhuangzi also said that "it is impossible to surpass the North Sea by Mount Tai, which is unnecessary; It is impossible for the elderly to break branches, but it must not be. " People often say that "respecting the old and loving the young can lead to family harmony". Kant once said, "Be as happy as young people when you are old!" ! Youth is like a lark, with its morning song; Old age, like a nightingale, should have his serenade. "There is an Italian proverb that says' a mother's heart is a child's paradise'. While the family is harmonious, respecting the old and loving the young can better reflect a person's character. Stendhal also said that "being respected in old age is the greatest privilege of human spirit". It is natural and normal to respect and love the old for giving up your seat, and respect should not be just a verbal expression, but more. There is a saying in India that "don't pity the old man who fell to the ground, and there is no one to help you when wrestling." That's it. If you say yourself, if you don't help others when they need help, then others won't help you when you need help in the future. Therefore, respecting the old and loving the young should start with the little things around us. In fact, sometimes giving up your seat is also doing good, just like you are accumulating virtue for yourself. Lu Xun also said that "ruthlessness is not necessarily a real hero, how can Reiko Kobayakawa not be a husband", and Mencius also said that "filial piety is the teaching, and those who gain white will not be put on the Tao". In ancient times, our ancestors always paid great attention to respecting the old and loving the young, and now we still have to respect the old and loving the young.

So the first point, let's talk about the second point. The second view is that we young people can't give up our seats to the elderly. This person is very controversial because this view is a bit extreme (from respecting the old and loving the young). Why do you say that? Let me talk briefly about my present life. Nowadays, the pace of life of young people is getting faster and faster, especially office workers. Let's calculate the accounts of office workers now. They usually go to work at 9: 00 in the morning and punch in at 8: 30, so they have to go to work before 8: 30, so they usually have to get up after 6: 00 in the morning, and if they have children, they have to send them to school. Well, plus the traffic jam on the road, it is usually very hard to send them to eat breakfast. After what happened last night, they have to go to work, so their time is very tight. After work in the afternoon, they usually pick up the children, buy food, cook and clean the house. In this way, they are very hard and should go to bed. These things are done, and it's time for bed. Look at the time, it will be 1 1 at the earliest, so according to this time, their sleeping time is still.

Let's talk about the old man. They have nothing to do all day. They get up at any time in the morning, have breakfast and start to go out for exercise. Then it's time to eat, and they go back to eat. In other words, they do nothing for a day. Some just help children take care of their children and take them to school. In my opinion, as long as the elderly can participate in morning exercises, it means that their physical condition is still good. You see them running and jumping in the park. When they get on the bus, sometimes they squeeze faster than young people and run faster. But as soon as they got on the bus, they began to get "sick", standing still, tired and tired, so most people would still give their seats to them, but the problem came because of this reason. That's why some people say, why give your seat to the elderly? We have been very tired all day. You see they run faster than anyone when they exercise, but they get tired as soon as they get on the bus. Some people are extremely reluctant to give up their seats for the elderly, but they have to give up because of their feelings. If you don't give up your seat, others will say, "As a young man, it's really unqualified to see an old man not give up his seat." Well, that's the way society is now, because of the ethics of these societies. Recently, a lady said that her children were very tired at school, but after getting on the bus, there were always some old people standing beside them, waiting for them to give up their seats. But now the children's schoolbags are getting heavier and heavier, and the children have to give up their seats until they get on the bus. This is also a hard day for the children. In this regard, this lady is very puzzled. There are many such things, so some young people will ridicule: "Who makes us young?"

With the development of society and the progress of the times, people's thoughts change with the changes of the times, and their thoughts are constantly changing. I think some ancient people's thoughts should also be changed!
