Critical thinking1. In some universities, students are asked to sign an
Honesty Declaration in the exam. Do you think this is an effective way to prevent cheating? Why or why not?
Theme exploration
Tips
Yes, I think signing an Honesty Declaration will effectively prevent cheating in exams. The declaration is a reminder to students that they have promised to do the right thing, and they should keep their promise to an honest person.
No. I doubt the effectiveness of signing an Honesty Declaration, and I don’t think it would help promote honest behavior during the exam. If students are honest, they will be honest even without signing thedeclaration. If they are not honest, they will cheat anyway.
Critical thinking
\\
2.Sometimes people tell white lies to avoid hurting others’ feelings. Do you think people are still honest if they tell white lies?
Tips
Yes, people who tell white lies are still honest. White lies are harmless and well-meant. We tell white lies not to cheat others or benefit ourselves; instead, we want to make others feel better.
No, I don’t consider those who tell white lies to be honest. A lie is a lie. Being honest benefits everybody, while lying destroys trust among people.
Theme exploration
Critical thinking
3.Sometimes doctors do not tell the truth to their patients about their conditions. Do you approve of this? Why or why not?
Tips
Theme exploration
Yes, I approve of doctor’s not telling the truth to patients. Some patients are not strong-willed enough. The truth may make them collapse and lose hope, which is bad for their recovery.
No. Patients, if they are sane, have every right to know their own conditions and take part in making decisions. If the doctor hides the truth, it takes away the patient’s right to know the truth, and there is a risk that decisions are probably made against the patient’s will. In this sense, the patient is not being respected.
Critical thinking
Tips
How do you understand the following quotes “ 子曰:“人而无信,不知其可也。” ?
In Confucian Analects ( 《论语》 ), the Master said, “I do not know how a man without truthfulness is acceptable”
It implies the necessity for a man to be honest, truthful and sincere.
