.. Hermione lowered her head and said after a while, "That's because they're uneducated and indoctrinated with some wrong ideas," she didn't answer directly, and Sparkle's performance just now was very revealing.

"Wrong thoughts, well, as I said, if they are wrong, then who is right? What is the criterion for judging right and wrong? Is it you, me, the wizard who owns the house-keeping forest, or is it the Ministry of Magic? Is it a minister's order, or is it a written law?" Darren asked, "and if it is one of them, then 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 barrage of questions, Hermione finally fell silent,.. In this matter, 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 grand scheme of things, different environments and societies will produce a variety of cultures, for example, in some places where a man can marry more than one woman," Darren frowned at Hermione, "and in other places, a person's identity depends entirely on the caste of the family," and then, his brow furrowed even deeper, "but they are all in line with their own society's own standards, how do you think you should measure it? Especially when you enter 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 point, "If, I mean, if I'm going to put that chained collar on you and take you out into the street, do you think you should follow that idea because I 'want'?"

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 about Bosnia and Herzegovina, do you think there will be anyone there who agrees. ”

"......" 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 the white child was playing, and 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 the others?" 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 families are eating fish, her mom says, "Darren pauses, '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, and 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 there are cultural differences, but I think the most important thing is that when the African kids watch the white family eat fish, they don't say it, even if they don't know the local language, even if it seems to them to be the same as when we see '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?" Hermione asked in a low voice after a long silence.

Darren looked at Hermione and thought for a moment before saying, "Well, it's not wrong, first of all,.. The requirements made by wizards are not excessive, after all, people are progressing, and the standard of morality is 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 overall awareness of people, 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,.. After all, we can't always be as barbaric as hundreds of years ago, but in terms of the method of operation, and the requirements put forward, you are a little too hasty, this is not something that can be done by pulling a few members and finding a few people to sign, it takes continuous efforts, education, persuasion, to change people's perceptions in the past, in fact, you should see, 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. ”

"Relatively speaking,.. On the other hand, the work of the house-elves will be more difficult, as mentioned earlier, they have formed values that apply to themselves, and forcibly changing them can also be a very painful and even desperate process for them. ”

"Since you think of them as intelligent beings, then show your attitude towards intelligent beings, and demand and measure them according to real standards, rather than simply changing them at will according to your own ideas. ”
