Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others?

For thousands of years inChina, helping others has been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture.But nowadays, the virtue seems no longer exist, for many people darenot offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. This issuehas been a hot topic in the news, and the public is in a high fever to discussthis moral problem. Some people think that helping others is a virtue in China,we should proud of it and carry forward this culture, or it will lead to amoray degeneration. While the rest of them think helping others many get lotsof unnecessary troubles which is wasting their time and money, in some situation,they may go into jail. In my point of view, people should be good to others.

千百年來，幫助他人一直都是中華的傳統美德。但是今天，這種美德似乎不復存在了，因為害怕卷入麻煩之中，很多人都不敢幫助那些需要幫助的人。這已經成為當今的熱點，公眾也正熱情高漲地討論著這個道德問題。有些人認為幫助他人是中華的傳統美德，我們應該引以為傲，并且繼續發揚光大，否者道德就會沒落；有些人認為幫助他人會惹來很多不必要的麻煩，費時費錢，有時候還會因此坐牢。在我看來，人們應該善待他人。

There is no doubt that some tragic event was a trap by some badpeople for blackmail money. The most common case is that an old lady or man waslying on the ground and claiming someone was knocked them down, then theirchildren will ask the warm-hearted “evil man” for a pretty penny. I heard acase that a young man helps an old lady who was hit by a car, but the old ladyinsisted that the young man was the one who hit her. The innocent man has not provedthat he is not the criminal so he lost the lawsuit, he has no choice but acceptthe verdict. Then the poor guy commits a suicide because he has no money forcompensation. This famous case has aroused public debate over the climate ofmorality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration.This case like an alarm to that kind, warm-hearted and helpful people, theywanted to give a hand but fare of getting into trouble.

毫無疑問地有些悲劇事件是一些壞人為了敲詐錢財弄出來的全套.最常見的套路就是一老婦人或者老頭躺在地上，聲稱某人撞到他們，然后他們的孩子就會問那個好心的 “壞人”要一大筆錢財.我聽說過一個案子,就是一個年輕人幫助了一個被車撞倒的老婦人，但是那個老婦人堅稱是那個年輕人把她給撞倒了。那個年輕人沒有證據去證明他不是那個肇事者，所以他輸了官司，他別無選擇，只能接受審判。然后這個可憐的年輕人因為沒有錢支付賠償金而自殺了。這個著名的案子激起了公眾對道德與信任的討論，許多人都認為這是道德衰敗的表現。這個案子給那些好心，熱心愛幫助人的人們敲響了警鐘，他們想幫助人，但是又怕卷進麻煩。

As the saying goes: one good turn deserves another. Helping other isa positive energy which deserved to be carrying forward. Since every one of usis a component of the society, it is each individual’s conducts that formsocial morality. I believe positive emotions can be infected, once people seethe others are offering help, they might get a big chance of willing to helpothers. Just put yourself in other’s position, if it is you who need help, whatwould you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously, some evenjust standing and taking pictures then upload? Be good to others, no only oneday you might need help, but also helping others will make you feel happy andfeel better about life.

俗話說得好：好人有好報。幫助他人是一種值得發揚光大的正能量。社會是有人類組成的，而社會道德是由人們的行為組成的。我相信正能量能感染他人，一旦人們看到別人伸出援手，他們有更大的可能會愿意幫助他人。把自己放到其他人的立場去想想，如果你是那個需要幫助的人，如果你看到人家用懷疑和冷淡的眼光看著自己，你怎么想？有些人甚至只是站在在那里然后還拍照傳上網。善待他人，不僅僅是因為有一天你需要幫助，還因為你幫助他人會讓你覺得生活更美好。

In sum, I contend the idea that social environment is necessary forpeople to be good to others, and people should take the responsibility to offerhelp to those in need, then we build up a more harmonious society.

 總而言之，我認為健全的社會是需要人們善待他人的，人們也應該自覺擔當幫助有需要的人的這個責任,這樣我們才能建設一個和諧的社會。
