Hermione lowered her head when she heard Darren ask the house-elves what they thought of S.P.E.W., and after a moment she said, "That's because they weren't educated and indoctrinated with some wrong ideas," she didn't answer directly, and Twilight's performance just now was telling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Wrong thoughts, well, like I just said, if they are wrong, then who is right? What is the criterion for judging right from wrong? Is it you, or me, the wizard with the Cottage Forest, or the Ministry of Magic? Is it a minister's order, or is it a written law? "If it's one of them, who gave him that right?" And, even if those house-elves are indoctrinated with wrong ideas, can their own opinions be completely ignored? ”

"......" faced with Darren's series of questions, Hermione finally fell silent, in the matter of S.P.E.W., she used to just rely on her own feelings, and did not think deeply about the many questions behind it, because they are too complicated, and any of them, with different values and worldviews, will have different answers, but it is by no means a teenage girl can answer, of course, this means that she has a little intelligence at all, and the middle two brain wrecks who are messing around are not counted.

"In the big picture, different environments and societies will produce a variety of adaptive cultures, for example, in some places a man can marry more than one woman," Darren frowned when he saw Hermione, "and in other places, a person's identity depends entirely on the family caste," and now, his brow furrowed even deeper, "but that is in line with their own society's own standards, how do you think it should be measured?" Especially when you get in among them, are they ignorant and backward, or are you out of place? ”

"In a small way, everybody has his own thoughts, and this is his freedom, and it should be his right, and it shouldn't be imposed on others, otherwise," Darren thought for a moment, and felt that Hermione's focus should be on "freedom" at this time, "If, I mean, if I'm going to put that chained collar on you and go out into the street with you, do you think you should follow that idea because it's me who 'wants'?" ”

Without waiting for Hermione to answer, Darren continued, "Probably, in the eyes of the house-keeping elves, giving them wages and holidays is a more excessive thing than that. ”

"But Dobby......" Hermione whispered.

"You wouldn't go out on the streets like that, but are you sure everyone disagrees?"

"Of course, no one will agree!"

"That's because you go to too few places, for example, I said Bosnia and Herzegovina, do you think anyone there will agree."

"......" Hearing this, Hermione didn't insist anymore, after all, she had heard Darren talk about a little bit of the cruelty and horror on the battlefield.

"On the other hand, can I use that as a standard just because someone agrees?"

“……”

After a long silence, Hermione asked in a low voice, "What do you think should be done with house-elves?" ”

"Before, I saw a movie about the experience of a European family in Africa, and in one of the scenes, the African child went to the European house to find his friend, and while the white child was playing, the other party was eating, and they invited the African child to eat with him, and he said that he had already eaten, and when he came back to his house, he ate with his family."

Hermione didn't understand what it mattered, "Doesn't he want to eat with anyone else?" She looked at Darren.

"There's a dish on the European table that is fried fish, and when the little African boy comes home and tells his mom that white people are eating fish, her mom says," Darren paused, "'It's disgusting!'" ”

It took Hermione a moment to understand what it meant, and she put her hand to her mouth, and before Darren could finish, "The African kid eats at home, a jar of freshly squeezed raw milk, and then cuts the veins of the cow and adds the cow's blood to the milk. ”

"Oh......"

"When they're mixed, it's pink," Darren added.

"It's disgusting!" Because the common room was quiet, I could hear it being Ron's voice, and from Hermione's expression, she thought the same thing.

"Yes, I thought the same thing when I looked at the screen, so it's a cultural difference, but I think the most important thing is that when the African kids watched the white family eat fish, they didn't say it, even if they didn't know the local language, even if it seemed to them to be the same as when we saw 'pink milk,' I think, at least at that moment, it's hard to say who is more civilized than whom, even though that African tribe doesn't even know how to smelt iron."

“…… Am I wrong? There was a long silence, and Hermione asked in a low voice.

Darren looked at Hermione and thought for a moment before saying, "How can I say it, it's not wrong, first of all, Judging from the requirements made by S.P.E.W. to wizards, it is not excessive, after all, people are progressing, and the standard of morality is also constantly improving, so what was once commonplace may not be appropriate now, and it should be changed, but I think this should be based on the improvement of people's overall awareness, rather than relying on some kind of constraints and requirements to complete, unless this behavior has violated some kind of bottom line, such as the law. ”

"So, S.P.E.W.'s original intention is not wrong, after all, we can't always be as barbaric as hundreds of years ago, it's just that in the way it operates, and the requirements that are made, you are a little too hasty, it's not something that can be done by pulling a few members and finding a few people to sign, it takes continuous effort, education, persuasion, to change people's perceptions, in fact, you should see that although the wizards are still as you say' Exploiting house-elves, but with the exception of a very small number of people, most people will treat house-elves in the way he thinks is appropriate, rather than abuse and hurt them at will, and what house-elf has scars on his body except Dobby, as Twilight said, she can also convince Crouch to allow little Crouch to go to the Quidditch World Cup, indicating that her opinion will also be adopted, which is the progress of civilization. ”

"On the other hand, the S.P.E.W. has to deal with the fact that the house-elves have a more difficult job, as mentioned earlier, they have already formed values that apply to them, and forcibly changing them is also a very painful and even desperate process for them."

"Since you treat them as intelligent creatures, you must show your attitude towards intelligent creatures, and demand and measure them with real standards, rather than simply changing them at will according to your own ideas."
