My View on Moral Character: The New Graduate Admission Criteria

The circular on graduate admission in 2011 issue that the candidates who fail the ideological and moral assessment are not allowed attending graduate school. It arouses the argument of lots of people in a short time. Mainly, there are two sides. One agrees and the other disagrees. Both of them have their own opinion.
2011年研究生招生人提出了思想品德考核不合格者不錄取的通知。它在短期內就引起了大量的爭論。主要有兩個方面。同意和不同意。他們都有他們自己的見解。
One the one hand, the agree side thinks moral is the most important. As we all know that China is a country encouraging morality. Postgraduate belongs to the people receiving high education, which represent the group of high - quality talents in China. If the admission of postgraduate do not strict, the development of postgraduate will be more difficult. Even happen the thing “A Mouse excrement bad gruel.” Besides, students’ quality is more important than their talent. So, why not cut them before anything bad happens.
一方面，贊成的一方認為道德是最重要的。我們都知道，中國一直都提倡道德。研究生是屬于接受高等教育的一類人，代表了中國的高素質人才。如果研究生招生不嚴格，會給研究生的培養帶來很大的困難。甚至會發生一顆老鼠屎壞了一鍋粥的情況。除此之外學生的素質要比才能重要。為什么不在事情變糟之前就處理掉呢。
On the other hand, the opposite side considers the equality. They think to vale a person’s morality is very subjectivity. It is easy to make unfair result. For example, a student has relatives in the adjudicators can achieve high marks for sure. Or students can bribe the adjudicators by money or power. It is very unfair for the poor or honest students.
另一方面，反對的一方考慮的是平等問題。他們認為衡量一個人的道德是很主觀的。這很容易造成不公平的結果。例如，一個學生在評委中有關系就肯定可以得到高分。學生也可以用金錢或權力賄賂裁判。這對貧窮的學生和誠實的學生是很不公平的。
To sum up, both sides have their reasonable reasons. As far as I am concerned, I don’t agree with it. Since everyone has put their effort on it, they deserve to have an equal competition.
綜上所述，雙方都有其合理的理由。就我而言，我是站在反對的一方。既然每個人都對此付出了努力，他們就應該公平競爭。
