Thinking about every possibility from all angles, in the process of discussing with teammates, I can feel the spark of rumors generated by the collision of different thinking.
The most interesting part of the court debate is that the propositions debated are specific and meaningful. What I mean is that in student debates, many of the debate topics discussed are general and broad topics to train students to think comprehensively; while in court debates, because of the appeals of the parties, the focus of the debate is often on some issues related to things that are closely related to our lives.
But what I want to write today is not 'closely related' in the popular sense.
Recently supplemented Boston Legal.
Fall in love with alan's eloquence.
The deepest impression is the case where Denny was sued for whoring. The reason is that Denny's father told Denny that his best experience was with a woman with only one leg. One day, Denny, who was in his seventies, was driving on the road and found a limping woman on the side of the road, so he stopped the car, and then...
The reason why Alan convinced the judge for Denny was Boston's darling, the red sox baseball. team. He said last year's defeat by the red sox against the New York Yankees sent crime rates up in the city, and the forecast for next August's baby boom stems from the current rave about the red sox's victory. So this ecstasy also includes but not limiting to the notion that god put a fetching one-legged woman in this man's path.
The logic really kneels.
On the other hand, Denny's own reasons are quite good. He often invites young and beautiful girls to his mansion, so why hunt pheasants on the roadside.
But just now is the most impressive case of Alan's eloquence.
The case that really made me think the most, and even changed part of my world view, was the case of John, a wealthy African-American businessman, suing the US government for not intervening in the racial persecution in Sudan.
In fact, such an indictment is indeed absurd in our ordinary eyes. If I look at it from the perspective of a mere celestial person, why should my country be dispatched to take care of the racial persecution in a small African country far away? What's more, even the United Nations didn't say anything. If I were to point fingers, I might even be accused of interfering in other countries' internal affairs.
The focus of this case is not what the prosecution and the defense said, but what the judge said in the final judgment.
Faced with the question, "We've gotten into enough quagmire, Iran, Iraq, North Korea, shouldn't we still be involved in Africans fighting each other?", the capable female judge said -
Yes
Because we're a nation, perhaps the nation, that's supposed to give a damn.
Because we're Americans.
Because we're Americans.
In response to the humanitarian crisis in Darfur, Sudan, Liu Yu wrote in "Details of Democracy" that "100,000 people gathered in front of the White House for 'pain in the distance'. It is impossible for anyone to wave their arms to achieve it. Only Only with the developed organizational resources of a civil society can a scattered society quickly 'congeal' when necessary, and through a steady stream of 'creatives' to warm up people's cooling down passion. Of course, a well-developed civic organization is by no means a fall from the sky It is the result of political freedom, policy orientation, a certain level of economy, and long-term civic education. In a word, a beautiful human nature comes from a beautiful system.”
In the social class in elementary school, the teacher called the United States the police of the world, saying It has to be plugged into everything. At that time, everyone thought she was self-righteous and nosy.
The reality is that 200,000 lives are at risk in some small, unknown African country.
Yes, they are indeed thousands of miles away from us.
But what if these 200,000 people were with us? Do you still feel like it's none of your business?
Are the lives of 200,000 people close to you more precious than the lives of 200,000 people thousands of miles away?
If it is you and your family who are being persecuted by the genocide now, who can you call for help?
Humanitarian compassion knows no borders.
We need this kind of global citizenship, we need this kind of voice to give a damn.
We are all involved.
Thank you for having such 100,000 people who are willing to give their voice to the 200,000 lives in a country in Africa, just because they are Americans.
