问答题

As is shown in the first picture, the first thing a shopgirl does to begin with her work is to choose one plate from those written in different ways, such as cost price , sale , discount and so on, and ready to hang it up outside. On the other side, a man is trying to sew a cracked heart signed with honesty , dripping with sweat. Obviously, the set of drawings are meant for a reminder to participate in the intense market competition in the right way, and what’s more important, honesty is an essential quality in the market economy.Nowadays, honesty is becoming an urgent issue. Wherever you go, you may hear people complain about people’s dishonesty. Some companies may make huge profits by producing and selling fake commodities, while some businessmen may play tricks in the competition, like reducing the prices but selling out-of-date or poor quality goods. There are plenty of contributing causes, among which the following ones are particularly worth mentioning. Firstly, competition is always so fierce everywhere, from campus to company, from job market to supermarket. Secondly, people are attaching too much importance to the improvement of their material life that they neglect the development of the spiritual and moral values, and consequently, they do a lot of things insensibly. And finally, we lack powerful and effective laws, rules or regulations to fight against this social problem.I think honesty is not merely a matter of morality. Laws and rules, instead of anything else, are the only effective means to ensure the prevalence of honesty. It pays to be honest in the long run, and honesty will do good to both the honest people themselves and everybody else.
