My View on Moral Character: The New Graduate Admission Criteria 关于研招品德不合格者不录取的看法

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录取的通知。它在短期内就引起了大量的争论。主要有两个方面。同意和不同意。他们都有他们自己的见解。

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，赞成的一方认为道德是最重要的。我们都知道，中国一直都提倡道德。研究生是属于接受高等教育的一类人，代表了中国的高素质人才。如果研究生招生不严格，会给研究生的培养带来很大的困难。甚至会发生一颗老鼠屎坏了一锅粥的情况。除此之外学生的素质要比才能重要。为什么不在事情变糟之前就处理掉呢。

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，反对的一方考虑的是平等问题。他们认为衡量一个人的道德是很主观的。这很容易造成不公平的结果。例如，一个学生在评委中有关系就肯定可以得到高分。学生也可以用金钱或权力贿赂裁判。这对贫穷的学生和诚实的学生是很不公平的。

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.

综上所述，双方都有其合理的理由。就我而言，我是站在反对的一方。既然每个人都对此付出了努力，他们就应该公平竞争。
