Chapter 432: Utilitarianism
Regardless of whether Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi were affected by Gao Feng or not, they didn't want to talk more about similar topics with him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This kind of talk can't be talked about deeply, and if you are not careful, you will touch on sensitive topics, and even be forced into a situation of great rebellion, even if no one reveals the content of the conversation, but for these loyal and honest people, they are still unwilling to say things that violate the harmony.
Therefore, Yang Bangyi said one thing.
This is not a big deal, nor a bad thing, but it represents a phenomenon that is not a good thing if it is allowed to develop.
The thing originated from the show-off of the two, that is, the kind of show-off of "my family is richer than yours", this kind of show-off, to tell the truth, is really not a show of wealth, because they are not yet at the level of wealth.
These two people are old farmers who have been poor for eight lifetimes, and once they have surplus money in their hands, the self-satisfaction is indescribable, and there is always a feeling of turning over and becoming the master.
Walking is different, speaking is different, even looking at people is different, although this performance of the two is not common, but it is also representative, at least there are still some people who are showing this kind of heart.
"They should be poor rather than rich." Qiu Yi was very puzzled by the appearance of this kind of thing, and muttered a word.
Gao Feng smiled and said: "This is a manifestation of utilitarianism, and it is also a change in the environment that has caused people's psychological changes, and there is nothing to make a fuss about." ”
"Of course, this matter cannot be taken lightly, if it is not correctly guided, it will inevitably lead to comparison and hatred of the rich in the future, which is a deformed phenomenon."
Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi didn't understand Gao Feng's statement, but they knew what Gao Feng meant, that is, it was not a matter now, and if it was allowed to develop, something might happen in the future.
"What is utilitarianism?" Yang Bangyi hesitated for a moment and asked. He knows the utilitarian heart, but he doesn't know that there is also a utilitarianism, and the reason why he asks this is to determine whether there is a difference between the two.
Gao Feng was really hard to answer, so he had to say: "If the goal we pursue is happiness, then the acquisition of happiness becomes the standard of all behavior, and utilitarianism is the pursuit of 'maximum happiness'." ”
Seeing that the two of them still couldn't understand, Gao Feng continued: "For example, if the two of them show off, are they really rich?" No, but why should it be? That is to gain happiness in the process of showing off, and this way is utilitarianism. ”
Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi understood this time, and they nodded in approval.
Qiu Yi asked: "What my lord means is that this utilitarian approach is just a show off at the beginning, and over time it will evolve into an act of comparing and hating the rich, and this matter will become more and more intense, and it will soon form a bad phenomenon, and it will be difficult to curb it then, right?" ”
"That's right." Gao Feng nodded and said helplessly: "This process may be very long, and it may even last for decades, so we must be fully mentally prepared." ”
"Is that an exaggeration?" Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi were taken aback this time.
They can't imagine that people will have such bad symptoms when they become rich, doesn't this mean that the poor have the troubles of the poor, and the rich have the depression of the rich?
Gao Feng, of course, knows why. In his previous life, he experienced an era in which reform and opening up made people rich and utilitarianism strong, which is fundamentally incomparable with those who have always been in rich countries.
At this time, people pursue famous brands, pay attention to identity, and compare themselves with each other in doing things.
Some people say that the world is declining, and some people say that there is a lack of faith, but in fact this is a normal social phenomenon and an inevitable process of people's psychological transformation.
Most people have been poor for eight lifetimes, and the ideas they have accepted since childhood are also submissive, as long as they can live.
But the new government brought a new atmosphere, and people turned themselves into masters, and people could not adapt to the sudden changes.
The spirit can not be released, the sense of happiness can not reach the maximum, coupled with the defects of cultural quality, can not solve their own emptiness, people can only achieve a sense of achievement through comparison, with the popularization, gradually and finally evolved into a deformed social phenomenon, everyone is disgusted, but have to respect.
Of course, this state of affairs will not last long, but it will not disappear immediately, when the second and third generations appear, they do not have the freshness of being rich, and because of the improvement of cultural quality, their pursuit of happiness has changed, and their utilitarian content has been fundamentally different.
At this time, how similar to that special period in the previous life, the peak is naturally very transparent.
It's just that it's not terrible to have utilitarianism, but what is terrible is that it evolves in a bad direction, and once a custom is formed, it's a little powerless to stop it at that time.
However, utilitarianism is a moral category in a large sense, and it is difficult to achieve results by administrative means to change it, and the best way is to strengthen education and guidance.
After thinking about it, Gao Feng said to Qiu Xi: "Lord Qiu, find some famous sentences of the ancients who advocated thrift and respect for discipline and etiquette, and tomorrow will start to be written on the wall in large characters to form propaganda slogans, always reminding people not to forget that life is not easy to come by." ”
Qiu Yi was very interested in Gao Feng's slogan propaganda, he thought it was intuitive, concise, and impressive, so he said with deep admiration: "A tall man's brain is a method, I really don't know how many good things you still have in your stomach." ”
The corners of Gao Feng's mouth twitched slightly, and he joked: "I didn't expect Lord Qiu to also make sycophants, but I was clumsy." ”
Qiu Wei's face turned red when he was ridiculed, and he said with a sneer: "I'm telling the truth, why should adults be careless? ”
"Haha." Gao Feng was amused and laughed, he said, "No matter how much I care, your slogan this time must be chosen well, and you must give everyone a psychological impact, so that the effect will be achieved, of course, this is just a means, if you can't solve the problem in the end, you can only rely on coercion, but the last way I want to use is coercion, you know, because the situation is already very serious at this time." ”
Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi nodded. After Gao Fengyi's analysis, they already knew the phenomenon and the causes, so they supported the early measures, believing that even if the situation could not be avoided or contained for a while, the momentum could be slowed or mitigated, so that at least the situation would not be so bad.
"Actually, we're all utilitarian, but in different ways." Seeing Yang Bangyi and Qiu Yi leading the order away, Gao Feng muttered.
