Chapter 40: Spike
ββ¦β¦ To sum up, the law is only one of the N kinds of behavioral norms required for the operation of human society, and it is the lowest one. The value of the law has never been to teach people to be good people, but only to teach people not to be bad people, and its lag and rigidity will undoubtedly lead to its becoming more and more unsuitable in an increasingly fast-developing society.
Therefore, only when social governance is in a relatively early stage, relying on the law to regulate people's behavior is the mainstream of society. The reason why we talk about the rule of law every day is only because we are indeed in the initial stage β but please do not be blinded by the limitations of this historical stage, and take this special situation as a universal truth that is common to the whole world.
The ancient Roman Republic had innumerable customary laws that constrained consuls from becoming dictators, and dictators from becoming emperorsβbut did those laws work when Caesar's iron hooves moved toward the Senate? Unfortunately, no. In the end, it was the people who were driven by morality or faith who stopped him by extralegal means.
Similarly, when some countries rely on harsh laws to stipulate that "burglary on buses is caught and chopped off", is the theft stopped? But when technological progress brings seamless surveillance, so that thieves no longer have a chance to get lucky, how much will the number of thieves drop? Even one day, when today's society is eliminated by Alipay, how much will the number of thieves drop? When every transfer and transaction of human beings has to leave data records on Alipay, and exterminate cash collection, how much will the greed fall?
The harmony of moral inspiration, the humility nurtured by faith, and the monitoring of scientific and technological progress play a stronger role in maintaining social order than the law in the historical stage, and we turn the pages of history and look forward to the future.
Speaking of this, I can't help but think of the line in Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra, where Brutus said before sanctioning Caesar: 'It's not that I don't love Caesar, it's that I love Rome more.'" β
It's not that I don't love the law, it's just that I'm more of a moral and scientific person.
Thank you, and my closing remarks are concluded. β
In the staircase classroom, as Feng Jianxiong sat back in his seat, the golden sunset slanted in through the long window, and a layer of gold was smeared on his broken hair, and the students in the audience realized a result:
College of Business, d.
In addition to applause and cheering, more law school students who came to cheer have entered the mode of casual chatting and touting, and the content is nothing more than "I didn't expect Feng Jianxiong to be so powerful in making four arguments, and his summary statement is so imposing" or "It seems to be much more courageous than the spokesperson of the Foreign Department J - except for those who do not say 'solemn concern' and 'strong condemnation'".
This happened on October 9th, the afternoon of the second day after returning to class after the long vacation.
It was also the third day after Feng Jianxiong, Shi Nicole and Yu Meiqin practiced the typhoon.
The topic of today's competition debate is "whether the law should be the main code of conduct for social governance".
Although the competition was not very important β the so-called not very important means that the new mission institute did not send someone to interview it - so the arena was just an ordinary lecture hall and not moved to the auditorium.
However, the number of people watching the game was much higher than in the group stage, and the last game against the new Denyuan in the auditorium was not far behind. Feng Jianxiong didn't understand why so many people watched it at first, but after the game, he discussed it with a few companions, only to know that it was because the game before the National Day holiday was broadcast by Ding Lihui's "Voice of Normal University", which made him quite famous in the school, so many girls came to watch.
In terms of quantity, if Feng Jianxiong before the colonel's radio station, only five or six hundred people in the school knew him - at least seven or eight CDs belonged to the law school.
So after appearing on the radio program, it is estimated that there will be two or three thousand people on campus who know about his existence.
For a freshman who has just been in college for more than a month, the effect of this "recommended position" on the campus platform on the expansion of popularity is still very obvious.
Of course, that episode of the show not only made Feng Jianxiong stand out alone, but Yu Meiqin also got a lot of exposure opportunities. In addition, she is a beauty of the eldest lady, but I am afraid that her popularity index on campus will increase more than Feng Jianxiong. It is not surprising to say that 5,000 people have heard of the name "Poppy".
"Good performance. Yu Meiqin affectionately poked Feng Jianxiong's arm, as the captain of the team, to show her appreciation, "Now, except for a debate, you have experienced a game in other positions." I think you're making a lot of progress. Would you like to try your hand at the next one?"
"Of course not, I'll leave it to Nicole, and there's no need to improvise in that position. Feng Jianxiong smiled kindly, while calmly analyzing,
"Isn't this also because the opponent is too weak, so we adjusted the personnel arrangement and exchanged the run-in. The Academy of Social Sciences that will be encountered in the semi-finals is stronger than the New Academy of Communication, even if you don't consider the fact that the debate in the previous game is more beneficial to the New Academy of Communication, at least it should be more difficult for the Academy of Social Sciences to deal with. β
It turned out that before the start of this quarter-final match against the business school, all the members of the law school team felt quite sure. Although he still prepared carefully, he was not afraid to change formations and train on the spot.
After all, according to the traditional results over the years, and even the strength of the other party summed up by the students of this college on the spot in the previous few games, the business school is indeed weaker than the new mission academy - otherwise Weng Dechen would not have to release the water to avoid the new mission academy in the last game of the group stage.
Therefore, after the new transmission hospital is eliminated in seconds, there is no suspense in the top four in seconds.
Today's flowery debate is nothing more than a normal play.
In other words, if it is put aside for more than ten years, Feng Jianxiong will open a betta live broadcast room to broadcast his debate. Then he will definitely clarify in public when fans swipe "666" and "There is still this kind of operation!", "Basic operation! Everyone who shouts 666 sits down!"
Yu Meiqin listened to Feng Jianxiong's statement, and didn't say much, and was silent for a few seconds before faintly agreeing: "I think so too." After reaching the semi-finals, there will be no weak brigade. β
Feng Jianxiong's heart moved: "Really, which two teams are on the other side, and the results have also come out?"
"Come out, they started a little earlier than us - I just asked Xiaobai to go to that spot to spy on the spot, and as soon as it came out, she texted back. Yu Meiqin said, flipped through her pink Samsung D508 mobile phone, flipped to Bai Jing's text message, and then handed it to Feng Jianxiong.
This is really a face-watching phone. The slide design, which was rare in 05, allowed only the arrow keys to be arranged under the screen, and the other number keys were hidden in the lower half of the body, which also made the screen of the phone more than half larger than other models of the same period. The previously rare pink chassis shows the money for slaughtering the girl.
Of course, on Yu Meiqin's mobile phone, there is another characteristic that is more sufficient to prove that the owner is a girl who loves cute things - there is actually a cartoon frog pendant hanging under the mobile phone.
Feng Jianxiong can't see how he looks at it.
"In the fourth game of the quarterfinals, the School of Psychology will face the Academy of Education, the School of Psychology will win, and the semifinals will be against the Academy of Sciences. Feng Jianxiong silently read Bai Jing's text message,
"In this way, the current top four are the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Academy of Geological Sciences and the Academy of Psychology. The rest are eloquent masters. β
People who are engaged in education and psychology should obviously be more able to follow the good and intrusive nonsense. However, there should still be some gaps with the perennial champion of the Academy of Earth Sciences.
The Academy of Social Sciences of Jinling Normal University mainly sets up majors in sociology and history. Generally speaking, people who study history professionally are also more able to examine the details and have a wide range of knowledge.
However, the challenge is only when the opponent is stronger?
Moreover, it can also avoid the debate mode with the new mission academy that only talks about breadth, not depth, and is unwilling to go head-to-head. It also better reflects the level of the debater.
Feng Jianxiong returned the phone to Yu Meiqin, and Yu Meiqin was very generous when she took it, and she didn't mind accidentally shaking her hand or anything - of course, Feng Jianxiong, who was originally held by Yu Meiqin, couldn't hold it in reason if she wanted to.
At that moment, Feng Jianxiong saw a sense of indifference in the other party's eyes, as if he encountered any enemy.
Smile knowingly, no need to say more.
In a whisper, the host of the competition, a senior of the school debate team, re-stepped onto the podium and announced the results of the jury's discussion:
"Now I announce that the winner of this competition is the law school team! The best debaters in this competition, Feng Jianxiong, the fourth debater of the Law School, and Wang Tong, the first debater of the Business School. The award-winning students are invited to come to the stage to receive the award. β
"Yes, but it was definitely me in the final. Yu Meiqin smiled and watched Feng Jianxiong go up to accept the award.
After receiving the award, the host didn't let them disperse. Instead, the representative of the winning team of the previous game and the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences team also called, announced the debate of the semi-finals on the spot, and drew lots on the spot to decide the pros and cons.
Feng Jianxiong and Yu Meiqin naturally could only wait patiently.
About 15 minutes later, the audience was almost gone, and the captain of the Academy of Social Sciences team finally arrived and drew lots with Yu Meiqin on the spot.
The moderator unfolded a note on the podium and announced: "The topic of debate in the next contest is: Is population control conducive to economic construction? β
Yu Meiqin and the captain of the Academy of Social Sciences stepped forward and took one from each of the two paper balls. Yu Meiqin unfolded it and looked at it, and it was written "positive".
The host looked at the results and said: "Okay, now I announce the results of the draw: the law school team is the positive side, and the view is that 'population control is conducive to economic construction,' and the team of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences is the negative side, and the debate topic is 'population control is not conducive to economic construction.'" Do the two sides have any doubts? Do they agree that they want to exchange positions?"
"No, we'll argue about it. "Yu Meiqin is very crisp and doesn't seem to pick a topic at all.
"We don't need it either. The captain of the Academy of Social Sciences hurriedly added, as if he was still regretting that he spoke late and lost his aura.
Both sides put away their things and went out to flash people. Shi Nicole and Yu Meiqin naturally chatted with Feng Jianxiong on the left and right, smiling and smiling, but they were frank and flawless, and there was no trace of ambiguity. The topic of the conversation is also a debate that cannot be corrected.
It's a buddy relationship between good partners.
"Yo, it's really an enviable pure friendship. A cute exaggerated compliment interrupted Yu Meiqin and Feng Jianxiong's train of thought.
Everyone looked up, and it turned out to be Ding Lihui, the female anchor of the school station, who had been waiting at the door and blocked the way.
"Your performance is getting better and better, are you interested in coming to the school stage to do a debate talk show on campus current affairs?"
