I always think that reasonable logic and process can solve any problem, and I always think there is a simple way to judge the example of how justice is good:
"If the person who makes the decision is a person who can make a decision, The man who made the decision to sacrifice himself to save the majority, he can do the process of sacrificing the minority to save the majority without any condemnation."
If he can't do that, then he'd better close his eyes and hold his head and let it go. .
And think back to the terrorist yonger in the film, what he did was try to arouse the attention of the American elite to save his own countrymen. Yonger wants to tell them that even if the soldiers you send are fighting for the benefit of people who you think are worthy of sacrifice, and you succeed in setting the flames of war in other countries, you and your children are not safe and may still be killed.
But yonger is also willing to sacrifice himself, and is willing to endure almost any torture (if it wasn't for other people's sense of justice, H's last resort would probably have worked). The consequences of his plan made me feel extremely terrified and could not calm down for a long time.
In this case I must refine my method of judgment, which is:
"It must be that, in the absence of other options, if the act of a self-sacrificing individual can save a relatively large number by sacrificing a small number of people, the original will surely die. This kind of behavior cannot be condemned.”
Such amendments retain the right to choose the group that is bound to die, who should this right be in the hands of? Perhaps, these people should not die at all. And that relatively large number has still become the unanswered question in the open class.
As an asymmetric war under the influence of religious and institutional factors, whether a similar approach is morally desirable may be called an eternal topic. The purpose of this article is a self-learning process. Unsustainable so far.
