Yet it is always society as a whole that defines us and our attitudes, not a few individuals.” 范文: In theory, it is nice to argue that pursuing one\'s ideals can only lead to the greater good, but in truth there is often harm in failing to compromise. Only by knowing when we should maintain our moral ground and when we should surrender it can we act in a fashion that promotes the greatest possible good. Examples abound of the dangers of compromising one\'s beliefs. One may take the example of disgraced former president Richard Nixon, who, in allowing election fraud to take place, severely compromised the public\'s faith in their government. While Nixon believed that greater good would come out of this compromise of the duty of an elected official, it really only created a great deal of political turmoil in the country, and ultimately led to the demise of his administration. On a more personal level, most people have seen the negative effects of compromising one\'s beliefs. We believe we should not lie, and for good reasons. Telling one lie, for example, usually necessitates the telling of a second one, and a third one, an so on—“Oh what at a tangled web we weave, when at first we start to deceive,” as Shakespeare put it. And thus there are often negative consequences when we compromise our beliefs. |
