本题讨论对个人行为负责相关的问题,题目认为个人行为并非是自己可以决定的,更多得是被外界左右。本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE93"The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making",和老GRE的ISSUE156"Choice is an illusion. In reality, our lives are controlled by the society in which we live"有互通之处。在分析的过程中,可以从个人责任的意义以及是否必要,影响个人行为的因素,外界对个人行为的影响方面和具体形式、程度等方面展开思考。
1. 如果不存在“个人责任”这个概念,人们的学习、工作、生活以及整个社会的发展都会出现哪些问题?请举例并简述。
回答: 学习上,如果没有个人责任,人们上课时会投机取巧,影响他人,考试的时候也会徇私舞弊,扰乱考场秩序,甚者更不惜以虚假成绩换取名誉或入学资格; 工作上,如果没有个人责任,人人都逃避工作职责,业务无法展开,工作效率低下; 生活中,逃避自己的责任,对父母不尽孝道,对他人缺乏爱心,对社会缺乏公德心等。
2. 让个人为自己的行为负责对于社会有哪些好处?请举例并简述。
回答: 个人对自己行为负责在学习中会促进公平原则的实现,帮助提高教学质量;在工作中,各人各司其职,有利于团队合作的进行,提高工作效率;在生活中,家庭和睦,邻里友好。总之,对自己的行为负责就是对社会负责,有利于保证社会稳定,实现社会进步。
3. 人们的行为都受到哪些因素的影响?请举例并简述。(可从内因、外因两方面分别考虑)
回答: 从内因来看,人的行为受到自己性格、年龄等的影响; 从外因来看,则受到成长背景、所处环境、经济条件等的影响。
4. 外界因素在哪些情况下以何种方式影响着人们的行为?请举例并简述。
回答: 以结婚为例,有的年轻人不愿意在30岁之前结婚,但是由于受到家庭父母的期望,还是不得不委曲求全;另外,如果同学朋友的婚礼都奢华漂亮,也会一定程度上影响自己对婚礼的规划。诸如此类,外界因素都会通过内在心理因素影响着人们的行为。
5. 人们是否可以不顾外界环境的影响而进行自己的选择?如果可以,请举例;如果不可以,请解释原因。
回答: 在某些情况下,人们应该听从自己内心的声音,坚持自己的原则和梦想。

I can not agree with the speaker that people's behavior is largely defined by the external forces. As a creature living in the human society, people's behavior cannot be avoid affections from both the external and internal. I admit that external factors have it power to affect people's behavior to a large extent, but internal factors have the real power to determine how people behave.Let us imagine that people's behavior is indeed largely determined by external forces, what the society would be like. Giving up their self-awareness, people  will deteriorate into a machine with no sense of responsibility and bring about problems in the society. Firstly, a student driven by others has a high possibility of cheating in the exams which is immoral.  By making education disorder, externally driven behavior will lead to low-quality education. Secondly,  a worker who let the outlying environment affect himself can not make it a reliable one. Deflecting working responsibilities and undermining team work is about to result in a underperformed productivity. Besides, a child who always flee of his responsibility would end up a unfilial one who will also not make any contribution to the development of society. Based on what we discussed above, we can draw a conclusion that letting external factors determine people's behavior could inevitably weaken the progress of human society.In contrast, people who have strong self-awareness and sense of responsibility could bring the society with a bunch of benefits. Students follow the examination rules and do not commit disruptive behavior s; Workers undertake their own task respectively in a collaborative manner, productivity thus is improved significantly; Children with filial piety make their contribution to families,  getting along with neighbors harmoniously. In one word, being responsible to his own behavior is being to responsible to the society. As we know, everyone's behavior is under the influences of both external causes and internal causes. Philosopher Karl Marx's materialistic dialectic claimed that external causes become operative through internal causes. It is evident that internal factors plays a more important role in determining people's behavior.It is meaningless to weigh which factor poses more affections on people's behavior in modern life, Because in reality people are always dealing with the balance between external and internal ones. Sometimes you have to give up motivations pop up in your mind not letting them influence your behavior due to extremely external environment. But in most cases, we surely are capable of making our own decisions to commit a certain behavior. Therefore, it is fair to claim that both of the two sides have them power, but the internal outweigh the external.
