In this era of information explosion and Internet public opinion is as difficult to control as a wild horse, the incident of NTU re-examination to brush off cat abuse candidates is undoubtedly a boulder on the turbulent water. As soon as this incident came out, it seemed to lift an invisible veil, which forced us to re-examine the society's identification of the moral bottom line and the way of dealing with individual faults. To be honest, when I saw this kind of thing, I felt a mixed taste in my heart, which was even more sour than eating a pot of Northeast sauerkraut.
First of all, let's talk about those who oppose NTU's decision. They had a tone of pity for the savior, as if this student who abused the cat was their long-lost brother. "If you just made a mistake once, why should you ruin his life?" This sounds quite reasonable, but if you think about it, if you practice his three views on a cat today, Ming'er can promise not to try a knife on people? This kind of thing can be called a mistake? This is not a mistake, this is simply a complete collapse of three views, extreme behavior, and flawed character!
Some also said, "He did not commit the felony of murder and arson." After listening to this, there was only one voice in my heart: What is the logic in your head made of? Tofu dregs? Mistreatment of living beings can be lightly brushed aside? If this kind of behavior is not a felony, how serious is the felony? Do we have to wait for him to do something irreparable before we can be in awe and learn from the pain?
Let's talk about the idea that cat abuse is not a crime. I almost laughed when I heard this, this is too distorted! The bottom line of the law is not the bottom line of morality, and if the law does not prohibit it, you can morally let yourself go? This argument is simply ridiculous! Besides, the attitude toward life is one of the most basic moral principles. This is not only a question of law, but also a sign of a person's character and integrity!
Speaking of which, I have to mention those netizens who support NTU's approach. They hit the nail on the head and got to the heart of the matter. Today he can abuse animals for his own pleasure, and tomorrow who can guarantee that he will not transfer this distorted pleasure to greater evil? If such a person has more power and resources, the consequences will be unimaginable!
NTU's decision shows the importance it attaches to the moral qualities of its students. This is not only a punishment for the cat abuse student, but also a warning to society: morality is always the primary criterion for judging a person. School is a place to cultivate talents, but it is not only the imparting of knowledge, but more importantly, the education of morality.
Finally, I think this is an opportunity and a challenge for Lanzhou University to accept this student. If you really decide to accept him, you should not only focus on his academic achievements, but also on his personality cultivation and moral reconstruction. This is not only a kind of help to him, but also a kind of responsibility to the society. After all, everyone should have a chance to mend their ways, but only if he really has the heart to change.
In short, although the decision of NTU has caused a lot of controversy, it has undoubtedly given us a lot to think about: how to correctly view individual faults and how to establish correct moral standards in society are all issues that we cannot avoid. The most important thing is that at any time, we must not forget the old saying - to Depei people, to virtue first.
