Debate topic: The more happiness, or the more pain. Ask for arguments from both sides, the more complete the better.

This is a debate that the more choices, the happier. I can't find "possession" for the time being, but I feel very useful.

A positive debate [Wang Tingxi]: Dear Chairman, judges and audience: Good evening! In order to participate in the debate, I decided to wash my hair well. I have Pan Ting, Rejoice and Lux in my dormitory, but I am not particularly happy because I have more dandruff. If I had more Head & Shoulders, I would be happier! The topic of our debate today is that the more choices, the happier!

First of all, what is happiness? Happiness is actually a kind of self-psychological feeling that human beings are constantly satisfied with. Choice refers to choice and choice, is the unity of process and result, and is based on basic social norms. We admit that while making the final choice, we will give up some options, and the process of giving up will bring a sense of loss and regret. This is human nature, but if the process and result of choice are unified, rational choice will eventually bring us greater happiness. Aside from today's debate, we can at least reach a consensus that there are no people who ask for it, and happiness is the common pursuit of all of us here. After defining this common goal, let's continue.

Secondly, we take "the happier" as the purpose and standard of choice, and "the more" is the choice in comparison, so it is a comparative proposition. How to get more and more happiness through more choices? In today's society, people's needs are becoming more and more diversified, and correspondingly, social products are becoming more and more abundant, so as to continuously meet people's material and spiritual needs, and in short, they are becoming more and more happy. At the just-concluded "two sessions", we reiterated that the goal of the next five-year plan is still to build a harmonious society with rich social products on the basis of economic growth. Isn't the huge product richness just to provide people with more product choices? Isn't it people-oriented? Isn't it just to make people happier?

Third, we believe that the more choices, the greater the possibility of happiness. This is not an inevitable proposition, but a possibility proposition. And it is a high probability event. Probability theory holds that a good selection process should lead to a good result, which should be a high probability event. At the same time, we also admit that the same good selection process has got a bad result, such a small probability event. But statistics tells us that when we want to demonstrate a problem, the argument must be a high probability event, and a small probability event is not very convincing. Therefore, we can draw a conclusion that the more choices we make, the more likely we are to be happy.

Last week, my sister gave birth to a fat baby. Hey, kid! Seven catties and eight ounces! Being a little brother for the first time feels very happy! I think the little guy should be happier, because from the first day he opened his eyes to see the world, he had to face an infinite choice, a very happy world! {Applause}

Thank you!

Argument of the opposing side: Dear Chairman, judges, friends of the opposing side, classmates: Good evening! It's an honor to discuss the selected topic with another debater. In his argument, the other side emphasizes that many choices will make people pursue greater freedom, thus increasing the power of choice and increasing opportunities. However, as long as life is chosen, it will inevitably bring about the pain of giving up and giving up. Whether it is pain or pain, it is a painful experience after all.

Let's look at today's debate "The more choices". There are two kinds of choices: one is the choice at different stages, and these options are not exclusive. In this case, the right choice will enrich our life, but people's energy and endurance are limited. Once the choice is excessive, it will make the body or mind feel very uncomfortable, that is, pain. The second choice is that only one choice can be made among the optional items in the same place at the same time. At this time, the choice is contradictory and conflicting. Today, we are discussing the topic of life choice with great significance, and the usual life choice is the second case. We think that the happiness expounded by the other debater is only a superficial understanding. Modern psychological research shows that too many choices will bring people too high expectations, thus increasing disappointment. The more choices, the greater the risk and the greater the pain.

First of all, the more you choose, the more you give up. According to the opportunity cost theory of economics, the more choices, the greater the opportunity cost, and people's desire is infinite. When faced with a variety of choice opportunities, choosing one of them will lose other possible benefits. The value of opportunity cannot be realized in isolation. Need to compare with others, which greatly reduces people's overall satisfaction with the choices made at that time. The direct consequence is that they can choose an opportunity.

Secondly, the result of the choice is uncertain, the future is unpredictable, and the process is undoubtedly the pain of giving up. Even if it is temporary satisfaction, the pain of the process will be unforgettable. What's more, if the choice is unsatisfactory, you will definitely regret your decision and fall into the abyss of pain.

Finally, the more choices, the greater the cost. However, life is full of choices and we can't escape. Although the choice is painful, we still have to firmly believe that life is beautiful. We should face up to the pain of choice, face life and meet challenges. So our view is that "the more choices, the more painful it is."

Interrogation and summary

Defend for Freedom [Xin Ying]: First of all, please ask the other side to argue. Standing at the fork in the road of life, you can only take one of them and give up the rest. Does this prove that choosing means giving up?

A Debate on the Positive [Wang Tingxi]: First, let's look at an example. At one stage, for example, when we were young, we were faced with three or five choices, and we chose the best one. With the development of society, it is excellent /3? With the increase of our demand, we need more and more products to meet our demand. Therefore, the more choices we have, the greater the possibility of getting better. Thank you!

Arguing for Freedom [Xin Ying]: The future is unpredictable. I want to ask the other side to argue. Do you admit that the happiness of the result after making a choice is also uncertain?

Argument [Chai Jing I]: Does the uncertainty of the future mean pain? John Woo recently made a film, mainly about what will happen to us if the future is determined. If the future is certain, we will delete the uncertainty of the future, and we will have no future. Do you think the future is meaningful if you delete the uncertainty of the future? The future is meaningful because today doesn't know what will happen tomorrow. If you know everything about tomorrow, do you think life is meaningful?

Arguing for Freedom [Xin Ying]: I once had a sincere love before me, and I didn't cherish it. This is a classic line that everyone is familiar with. I want to ask each other questions about three arguments. For example, the result of the hero's choice in the movie is not satisfactory. Is it better to worry about the options that are placed in front of me but have no choice with the mentality of ordinary people?

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: I see, what the other debater said is a question of regret. But can we blame the pain caused by regret on the choice we made? We believe that the pain caused by regret is mainly determined by the following points: first, regret is that the choice made at the beginning may be irrational; Second, it is because the practice process after we made this choice may be unsatisfactory in some places; Third, the environment before and after the choice has changed, people's psychological state has also changed, and even our needs have changed, so the choice we made at that time is not optimal now. {Applause,}

Counterargument: The other debater denies that choosing is giving up, but no one can step on two roads in life. As long as I choose one, I will give up all the others. There is no draft in life. The more you choose, the more you give up.

Thank each other for admitting that the result is unpredictable. Since the result is unpredictable, it is impossible to know which road leads to happiness before choosing. If you are not sure, you will hesitate, be confused and feel uncomfortable before choosing. Take our accounting major as an example. Postgraduate entrance examination, notes examination and civil service examination, where should we go? Civil servants can be officials, and the postgraduate entrance examination will be more developed. A note is a golden certificate. People's energy is limited, and they must take what they need, and no one can be the master. It's really a tiger swallowing the sky-there's nothing to say. Even if I choose to be an official without hesitation, I may be imprisoned for corruption, I may not be admitted for several years, I may not be able to find a job after graduating from postgraduate study ... In short, anything can happen in the future, and the consequences are uncertain. I can't help but feel pain and confusion.

Let's start with the third question. The other debater said that rational analysis can avoid regret, so I will show you that touching scene again to see how rational and rational he is. The hero faces the golden hoop and wears it, so he will give up human love and can't be with his sweetheart. You can't save your sweetheart without it. Faced with such a painful choice, he can only send out the helplessness of "if God gives me another chance". In fact, why don't each of us hope that "God will give me another chance"? The stronger the desire to make up for what we choose to give up, the more we give up. Unfortunately, life can't be like a play, but we can start all over again. The more choices we make, the more painful it is. But we never give up hope and never say that we can't get happiness in the end. {Applause}

The night gave me black eyes, and I was destined to use them to find light! Thank you!

Argument on the right [Shi Yan]: As the saying goes, "The breadth of the sea depends on fish jumping, and the height of the sky allows birds to fly". What is the dialectical relationship between "width" and "jump", "height" and "fly"?

Argument of the other side: The other side is undoubtedly saying that there are more choices, more free space and more opportunities. In this case, I will try to find a higher goal. I have high expectations and high disappointment. Can I not suffer? This proves that the more choices we have, the more painful we will be.

Debate in person [Shi Yan]: I want to ask the second debate, why does the country take the provision of more and more material and cultural products as its development goal?

Argument against the other side: It is true that the country has provided us with more goods, but we still have to put people first. Faced with so many commodities, what should we do? In the face of a large number of goods, we may be complacent, but if we pick and choose, you will find that it is not cheap before, but better in the future. I cry at the thought of long-term goods.

Debate in person [Shi Yan]: Excuse me, three debates, if the other party wants to go to India, how will you go? Will he walk on white like Tang Priest?

Three arguments [Han Jiping]: No matter through what channels he went to India, according to our defense, this is a major life choice full of life significance, not a question of choosing shampoo as argued by the other party. If it is such a superficial problem, we'd better choose another time to discuss it. We believe that although choice provides us with more space, because of the opportunity cost, if you choose one possibility, you must give up other possibilities, which will inevitably give up the benefits brought by other choices. In this way, the more choices, the more painful it will be.

Argument [Chai Jingyi]: When the other party questioned us, it emphasized: "The more choices, the more giving up, and the dilution of happiness makes the gap between actual happiness and expected happiness bigger and bigger, and the pain is more and more." However, there is a gap between ideal and reality when measuring the conditions at that time. Our choice is not necessarily the most ideal, but it must be the most realistic. But can you say my choice is painful? Every woman wants to marry a BMW driver, but in the end most of them marry a Santana driver. Can you say that most women are unfortunate? If you don't meet your expectations, will you be unhappy?

The following is a summary of our cross-examination.

First, the sea is wide enough for fish to jump and the sky is high enough for birds to fly. For fish and birds, "the width of the sea" and "the height of the sky" undoubtedly mean that they have more and more free space to display and can "jump" and "fly" better. As the saying goes, "Fish in a jar can't jump" and "Birds in a cage can't fly", but for us, the more choices we have. {Applause}

Second, with the progress and development of society, our country has provided us with more and more material and cultural products, created more and more convenient conditions, built a more and more free life stage, and our personalized needs have been continuously met, so the opposing debater can choose to fly to India, or go by boat, or take a train and then fly, or even travel by bike. You don't have to ride like Tang Priest, do you?

Free debate

Argument [Shi Yan]: You said that there are both LAN and Internet. When you look for information, do you go to the local area network or the Internet?

The opponent argues that no matter which one you choose, the more opportunities you have, the more confused you will be. Then, I want to ask my opponent, everyone came from the college entrance examination. You are faced with many choices from many schools, and you have no hesitation. Aren't you in pain?

Argument [Wang Tingxi]: LAN and Internet have many materials to choose from, which can make you more happy. In other words, we can communicate with each other through the library and ask teachers for help instead of surfing the Internet. The more information we find, the happier we will be.

Argument on Positive Freedom [Xin Ying]: The process of choosing is the process of giving up. The more you give up, the more painful it is. According to research, the more choices, the greater the negative. Too many choices, too much freedom, isn't it painful?

Debate [Chai Jingyi]: There is no perfect happiness in the world. If you are willing to give up, you won't get it. If you are willing to give up Bora for the treasure, you will get agate only if you are willing to give up pearls. {laugh} Why do other debaters only pay attention to giving up, but can't see it? We repeatedly emphasize the unity of process and result. Why does the other party only see the pain of the process, but can't see the pleasure brought by the result? {Applause, laughter}

Founder Three Debates [Han Jiping]: What is giving up? Giving up is giving up. Giving up is very painful. Can the opposing debater deny his true feelings?

Support free debate [Shi Yan]: Choice is the unity of result and process. For example, if I want to get married and buy furniture, I will go to the market to choose and buy it. Another debater only saw the pain of spending money, but he didn't see the happiness brought by starting a family.

Counterargument: I want all the beautiful furniture, but I don't have enough money in my pocket! Isn't it painful to give up?

Argument 1 [Wang Tingxi]: Just now, the other party's argument 2 mentioned the problem of the Monkey King and his lover. What would he say about his lover? Will he say that I, a Xia Zixian, am a choice between two and five? He would say, he would say that I, a fairy from Xia Zi, am one in a million, one in a thousand, one in a million, and I am still a debater. {Applause, laughter}

The opponent argues: isn't it painful enough to choose one in a thousand and one in a thousand?

Argument [Wang Tingxi]: Then why don't you say something? The first woman I met was the woman of my dreams. {Applause, laughter}

Founder's Three Debates [Han Jiping]: Why do you avoid love as a process of striving for and ultimately happiness? The other debater mentioned the future and results in the debate and cross-examination. The future I am talking about is unpredictable. When you choose, you may choose the right one. If you choose the right one, you will not deny the pain of giving up in the process. Once you make a mistake, you will have to bear the pain of regret besides giving up. Isn't this the pain of choice?

Three positive arguments [Chloe Wang]: I have made it very clear about regret, and there is no need to say it again. The other side emphasizes giving up again, but as our second argument says, you can only get it by giving up. Just like our argument, you can't give up your sister's marriage, and there is no nephew to repay. {Applause, laughter}

Positive free debate [Xin Ying]: I want to ask the other side to debate three times. When you are faced with a boy who is as good as your freelance debater and let you choose, aren't you miserable and confused? Don't you feel sorry for giving up any of them? {Applause, laughter}

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: How happy I am to have so many excellent boys to choose from! {Applause, laughter}

Defend for Freedom [Xin Ying]: Because you chose one, you only chose one of so many boys. Aren't you in pain?

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: I choose one of so many choices, which shows that he is the best. {Applause, laughter}

Xin Ying: I want to ask another debater that a person's mother, wife and children fall into the water at the same time, even a good swimmer can only save one person at the same time. Does the other debater think that the more choices, the happier he will be with the more relatives who can't swim? {warm applause}

Positive debate [Chai Jingyi]: When we were young, we just had enough to eat. Now, we need color, fragrance, taste, meaning and shape, not only to eat well, but also to eat healthily and tastefully, which shows that our demand is increasing. Only by choosing more and more can we meet our own needs!

Counterargument: Then please don't forget that there are too many fertilizers now, and we are taking drugs every day. {Laughter}

[Wang Tingxi]: Now we have increased CCTV from CCTV 1 to CCTV 12. Does this choice make you happier or more miserable?

Counterparty view: I just can't choose which channel. The more channels, the more painful I am.

Debate on Freedom [Shi Yan]: Then I suggest you buy a TV newspaper.

Defending Freedom [Xin Ying]: According to the survey, in the United States, the economy has more than doubled in the past 30 years. With the increase of wealth and opportunities, the number of people who feel happy has decreased by as many as 65.438+0.4 million. Doesn't this prove that human desire is endless? The more choices, the lower the satisfaction with the results. Isn't that more painful?

Positive argument [Wang Tingxi]: I took the other side's second argument just now and said that when people all over the country watched TV, they all saw CCTV 5 from CCTV 1, but no one said, "I am so miserable, so much!" {Applause, laughter}

Defending for Freedom [Xin Ying]: You are excellent candidates for the postgraduate entrance examination. Excuse me, when you face multiple-choice questions in the examination room, do you want the more options, or the less the better? {Applause, laughter}

Debate [Chai Jingyi]: We all read happy dictionaries. In the last few levels, the more choices, the richer the prizes. You choose one of two, and you choose one of five, which is more superior? Is a half daughter-in-law making you happier, or a thousandth or a thousandth daughter-in-law making you happier? {Applause, laughter}

Counterparty: Why does Happy Dictionary ask for help by removing a wrong answer instead of adding one? {Applause, laughter}

Founder's Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: Then I want to ask another debater, do you feel more and more painful when we walk into the karaoke bars and face more and more old songs and more and more new songs?

Counterargument: If you choose the best from the first argument and the free argument, will you feel happier? Maybe I'm better than them? {Laughter}

Argument [Wang Tingxi]: Why go to Chongqing Road and Guilin Road instead of Pingyang when shopping?

Founder Trilateral [Han Jiping]: We went to Chongqing Road because it is close to us, which has little to do with the choice. Besides, the other two are female classmates like me. When we go shopping, when there are more and more choices, don't you think which one to choose? You choose one of them, you see the better one, and you will wonder why I chose the wrong one and didn't choose this one. Isn't this pain?

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: When it comes to shopping, girls have more say. We just like overwhelming choices. Isn't it happier to choose what you like? {Laughter}

Arguing for Freedom [Xin Ying]: How painful it is for boyfriends to save money!

Debate on Freedom [Shi Yan]: The other side said it well. I used to go shopping with my girlfriend. If you are tired, you can only have a rest on the side of the road or continue shopping. Things are different now. Now Yatai Fuyuan provides us with her husband's storage room. Now I can choose to have a rest. {Applause}

Opposing point of view: As a boy, I think it is too painful to go shopping with my girlfriend, so I have to pay for it myself.

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: So, don't guess the girl's mind. {Applause}

Xin Ying: Then I want to ask another debater. There is an old saying, "Choose more roads and you will be happier." Does the owner of a sheep still have to face the pain of losing livestock?

Argument [Wang Tingxi]: The other side thinks that corrupt officials can choose through greed. I want to ask, does greed equal demand? Then I want to ask if greed is equal to demand. Then your sentence "The night gave me black eyes, and I can use them to find light" can be changed to "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find cash". {Applause, laughter}

Founder Three Debates [Han Jiping]: What were the other debaters saying just now? Everyone is discussing how to buy clothes and what to choose in life. Today, our choice is life, and life is more important. If it's that superficial choice, I don't think it's worth the eight of us arguing here. I hope everyone can understand the profound significance of choice. Imagine that in our life, some choices determine our life. Don't other debaters feel confused and painful when making choices? If we make the wrong choice, won't we regret it?

Argument [Wang Tingxi]: I can use a pen to describe what the other person said about life. When writing a thesis, I will say that the pen is long or round, which means that life depends on the angle. The more angles I choose, the better my life will be. {Applause}

Defending for Freedom [Xin Ying]: The other debater repeatedly emphasized the unity of process and result, but we have just made it clear that the result of choice is uncertain due to the uncertainty of the future, but the process of choice must be a process of giving up and a painful process. In short, the process and the result are more painful, so we insist that the more choices, the more painful it is.

Right-wing view [Shi Yan]: Choice is a challenge, but choice is a better choice. If you want to be better, you must choose. If choice is a belief, I would rather lose my life.

Counterargument: Can you predict the future before choosing?

Positive debate [Chai Jingyi]: As we have emphasized, is it because the uncertainty of the future makes you feel pain?

Positive free debate [Xin Ying]: The other debater is really a rare optimist, but is it because you see through the world of mortals that others will turn their heads? {Applause}

Positive debate [Chai Jingyi]: But I hope the other debater understands that positive people are like the sun, where they shine, and negative people are like the moon, which is different from the fifteenth day of the first month. There is nothing wrong with me being optimistic and positive. {Applause, laughter}

Defending freedom [Xin Ying]: Because you face pain ... (time against each other)

Positive debate [Wang Tingxi]: We emphasize that choice is the unity of process and result, the joy of process, the joy of struggle, the joy of enrichment, my happiness!

Two arguments [Chai Jingyi]: We emphasize that there are no people asking for trouble in the world, and those who pursue happiness are the happiest!

Three Debates [Chloe Wang]: We emphasize that the subjectivity of choice is the same, I choose, I am happy!

Support free debate [Shi Yan]: We emphasize that the more choices, the greater the role of comparison. Many people look for her and suddenly look back, but happiness is in the dim light! {Applause, laughter}

Concluding remarks

Three positive arguments [Han Jiping]: Dear Chairman, judges, opponents and classmates; Hello everyone!

After admiring the profound theory and meticulous thinking of the other debater, please allow me to point out some omissions of the other side.

First of all, the opponent's debater thinks that the more choices, the greater the chance of choosing the best, but he doesn't realize that as long as he chooses, he will give up, and with the increase of choices, the more he has to give up, the stronger the pain.

Secondly, the opponent's debate is too idealistic, and you can't predict the outcome in the process of choosing. In other words, the result is unpredictable, but choosing this process full of giving up is a living fact that can be affirmed. People face countless choices in their life, and each process of choice is a process of giving up. Choosing one possibility is equivalent to giving up other possibilities. Let's give a very simple example. When a soldier goes to war to defend his country, he has to give up the responsibility of honoring his parents. If he still has a lover, he will give up his responsibility to his lover. If he still has children, he will give up his responsibility for them. Maybe he will be a hero to defend the country, but how much did he give up? This is what the more choices bring, the more you give up, the greater the pain. When choosing, because the future result is unpredictable, it is more difficult for you to predict the good and bad brought by the choice. This shows that the more choices, the greater the opportunity cost and the greater the chance of regret. Imagine how painful it would be if a person had to bear the endless regrets brought by this choice after experiencing the pain in the process of choice.

To take a step back, even if the choices made with painstaking efforts will bring the joy of success, the emotional input to realize self-worth is often more reflected in the process. What is behind the happiness that the other debater said? It is precisely because he has experienced countless choices, countless sacrifices and countless pains. Why does the other debater just stand at the peak of success and be complacent, but forget the bitterness and pain?

Finally, let's calm down and ask each of us. In our minds, when there are many choices, won't we be at a loss? In the process of choosing, won't we be heartbroken because we give up too much? Please ask another debater to take off this coat of happiness with me and share the pain caused by more choices, because we believe that real warriors dare to face the bleak life and the dripping blood, so let us bravely face the pain caused by choice, overcome the pain, get out of the pain and achieve a brilliant life! {warm applause}

Three arguments [Wang Lei]: First of all, for today's debate, I want to emphasize the following two points:

First, the other debater said, "The more choices, the more painful the selection process. We understand, but choice is the dialectical unity of process and result. How can you deny the happiness of the whole choice because of the pain of the process? Besides, the process of choosing is not necessarily as painful as the other party said. To some extent, isn't it a kind of happiness to discard the false and retain the true, and to extract the essence from the rough?

Second, is regret brought about by more and more choices? How can we blame more and more choices on regret and pain? What we are discussing today is that the more choices you make, the happier and the more common you are, rather than the problem of not regretting your mistakes.

Therefore, we pay more attention to examine today's debate from the perspective of the diversified development of people and the diversified needs of individual society. We want to tell you the reasons for increasing happiness through comparison and recognition among more choices, so we begin to emphasize that the more choices, the happier.

First of all, logically speaking, on the one hand, people are born to seek happiness and avoid pain. The more choices there are, the more choices there will be, and the pain will not be the goal. People are always in pursuit of greater happiness and always ask for a happy choice. And more and more choices are providing us with this condition. On the other hand, the more choices, the more comparisons, the higher the gold content of the final choice, and the stronger the happiness; The more choices, the greater the freedom, and we will choose better and better choices. Won't we be happier?

Secondly, from the fact, the more choices we have, the happier we are, which is also in line with the historical process of the continuous development of human society and the pursuit of greater happiness. The development of production and the progress of civilization provide us with more and more social products to choose from, and our diversified needs are constantly met. Then our material life is getting higher and higher, our spiritual life style is getting higher and higher, and our cultural knowledge is getting higher and higher. These three highs constitute the whole content of the subjective feeling of being happier, and we also feel happier.

Finally, we emphasize that the more choices, the happier we are, and also aim to advocate a more positive attitude towards life. Choice won't happen once and for all. With the growth of people, there are always more and more choices, such as career choice, marriage choice, friendship choice, consumption choice, belief choice and so on. If we always complain that more and more choices are painful, should we avoid choices or refuse to grow? Therefore, we should not only understand that in the face of more and more choice challenges, we will gain more and more happiness, but also firmly believe that we will experience more and more choices and our growth path will be gorgeous and brilliant!

Classmate: when you stop at various dinners, feel the joy of incense; When you are immersed in colorful costumes and enjoy the beautiful scenery; When you are in the boundless sea of books and bathed in the light of books, are you more miserable or happier? Let's remember that there are more choices and challenges ahead, so that you can broaden your horizons, raise your sails, fly high and laugh at the blue sky! {warm applause}
