Do you think that police officers like Jonda should be blamed for failing to save victims of accidents? Why or why not?,2. What do you think is the best way to free a person from a sense of guilt?,3. Do you think it worthwhile to give ones own life for other people? Why?,Critical thinking,Tips,Tips,Tips,No, I dont think so. Although it is the duty of police officers to save victims in accidents, they should not be blamed for failing to save them on some occasions. It would be unfair to blame them as situations may become out of their control. Sometimes they themselves may get injured or even die in their efforts to save those in danger. However, there is no point risking their lives when there is obviously no way to save the victim.,Further Discussion,Critical thinking,Tips,1. Do you think that police officers like Jonda should be blamed for failing to save victims of accidents? Why or why not?,It is painful to feel guilty for having failed to save or help others. To help a person free from the sense of guilt, we can: let them know that they have tried their best; let them know that what happened is not their fault; tell them that similar things have happened to others, too.,Critical thinking,Tips,2. What do you think is the best way to free a person from a sense of guilt?,Further Discussion,I think it depends on the situation. If you know your sacrifice will save another persons life, it is undoubtedly worthwhile even if you have to risk your own life. Nonetheless, if you clearly know that your efforts wont save them even at the cost of your own life, then it is not a good idea to give up your own life. Maybe a better and more practical way is to ask more people for help. This way, you will not only save the victim, but also avoid unnecessary casualties.,Critical thinking,Tips,3. Do you think it worthwhile to give ones own life for other people? Why?,Further discussion,Talk about the differences of American and Chinese heroism.,Critical thinking,Further discussion,1. What are the differences between American and Chinese heroism?,2. What kinds of elements cause the differences between American and Chinese heroism?,Critical thinking,Tips,Tips,Further discussion,In the west, people have the greatest esteem for humanism and democracy. Even if the heroes are deified, they are still human beings, who have feelings and emotions, and shortcomings all the time. Especially in movies and plays, the pure and sincere humanity is extremely amplified. The heroes lay down their lives for honor and ideal, love and freedom. Even when the justice conflicts with the interest of the nation, they will resolutely select justice.,Critical thinking,1. What are the differences between American and Chinese heroism?,Further discussion,However, heroes are covered with a layer of idealism in Chinese culture. In the circumstance of altruism and nationalism in Chinese culture, what is extremely amplified is the loyalty and devotion to the nation and leaders, and the sacrifice of individuals. The heroes die for the interest of the country or community. Thus, heroes in China cannot have private desire. For thousands of years, rulers defined the concept and model of heroes, so heroes tended to be godlike, perfect and supernatural.,Tips,The keywords that distinguish Chinese values from American values on heroism are collectivism and individualism. As early as in elementary school Chinese students are taught that personal interest should give way to that of collective group. While in America, kids are trained to treat themselves as separate individuals who should be responsible for their own life from early ages.,2.
