Chapter 478 475. Debate
Are wizards and Muggles considered the same kind of people?
This question is very acute in the magic world.
It is not that this problem does not exist, but because it has always existed, but all wizards have subconsciously ignored this problem. No one raised it on the table, and no one dared to respond to this problem positively, so it was clearly. Obviously, a question worth thinking about has never appeared in the magical world.
Here, this is just an ordinary fourth grade class after all. Even if an outside wizard hears that Fox asks students to discuss such a problem in class, there will be little reflection.
Not directly in the Daily Prophet’s newspaper to clearly express his views, but just casually discuss it in class.
After Fox’s argument came out, he continued.
"In order to increase your enthusiasm, although there are no exams in moral education, as a professor, I still have the right to add points. As long as the students participating in the debate can add 5 points to their college, if your arguments make most of them Classmates agree that you can also add 10 points to your college."
What he said undoubtedly made the originally excited little wizards even more excited. Almost all of them raised their arms in class, wanting to be the first to say their thoughts.
Fox called out one of the little wizards in Hufflepuff first.
"Mondo Blido, first talk about your point of view, and then explain why you think this way. You have a total of three minutes."
The little wizard named Mundo is a stout boy, he said without hesitation after standing up.
"I don’t think wizards and Muggles are the same kind of people. It’s actually very simple to prove this. Wizards can use magic, but Muggles can’t. What about humanoids?"
His statement is very simple, it takes less than three minutes at all. Although it is very concise, such a concise thought is what most wizards in the magical world think.
Have magic power to know magic is a wizard, no magic power can’t use magic is a Muggle, and magic power but can’t use magic is a dumb cannon.
A wizard is a wizard, and a Muggle is a Muggle. How can the two groups be regarded as one kind of people?
Sitting down after Mondo's words, Fox also, as he said at the beginning, no matter what his answer, as long as he answered, he added 5 points to Hufflepuff.
"This is a contradictory argument. Okay, people who agree with Mondo’s words don’t need to raise their hands. We now need a square argument, so are there any classmates who disagree with him and want to refute his?"
The number of people raising their hands in the classroom was reduced by half this time, which is enough to see that the remarks just now were actually agreed by many people.
These people who identify with may not necessarily discriminate against Muggles like Malfoy, and treat students from Muggles with a normal mind, but according to their point of view, as long as they enter Hogwarts, they will be separated from Muggles. , It becomes two types of people.
Even some students from Muggle families think so.
But this kind of thinking is not all after all. Among those who raised their hands, at least Harry, Hermione and Ron are also opponents of this kind of thinking.
Fox will of course choose the person who answers the question from Gryffindor’s students this time, and naturally, he chose Hermione.
"Hermione Granger, you also have three minutes to elaborate on your argument."
Hermione stood up and first corrected the concept of Mundo.
"Brido's explanation of the two terms Muggle just now was wrong!"
"What is a Muggle? The official Ministry of Magic has a special explanation for this title. Professor McGonagall has also explained to students from Muggles. The term Muggle refers to those who do not know magic and do not believe in magic. People!
"Rather than simply summarizing people who don’t know how to do magic, my parents and none of them do not know how to do magic, but because of my relationship, they believe in the existence of magic, so they can’t be called Muggles. It’s just because Before I showed my talent for magic, our family didn't know the authenticity of magic, and we had never been in contact with the magic society before, so after entering Hogwarts, we will be called Muggle family origin."
"So from this point of view, the terms wizard and Muggle are definitely not a comprehensive term for a group of people. Wizard refers to a person who believes in magic and can use magic. We can also understand Muggles as people who believe in science and use science. People. Although they use different means in life, and their knowledge of learning and beliefs are also different, but first of all, they are all human beings."
"Except for magic, wizards and Muggles have the same way of thinking, and the social structure is basically the same, even the concepts of region and country are the same."
"There will be love between wizards and Muggles, and they will also form families. The trend in the magic world is that there are fewer and fewer families combining wizards and wizards. More and more young wizards have at least one parent. Muggles, except for magic, a tool that is only used to facilitate people's life and work, what is the difference between a wizard and a Muggle?"
"So, wizards and Muggles are truly a kind of people, because their minds are unified, and their concept of family and country is also unified The only thing is whether they can use magic or not. Tools."
"Normal people would not use the difference of tools as the judgment of different people. Just like two farmers, one is accustomed to working with a hoe, and the other is more accustomed to a shovel. Can you say that these two people are not the same type of person? ?"
Hermione’s speech ran out of the three minutes that Fox gave. In contrast, her speech was sharper and the argument was more specific. So after she finished her speech and returned to her seat, many in the classroom agreed with her. The little wizard who said the words applauded.
Even Fox applauded gently and also gave Hermione 5 points.
But Hermione is not a strong mouth after all. She hasn't reached the point where she can convince everyone with just a few words. There are still many little wizards who disagree with her views, so this debate continues in class. .
Until the end of the afternoon, Harry and their first moral education class is also over.
In the end, Fox wrote the name of every student who had made an argument in this class on the blackboard, and the students voted by themselves. In the end, Hermione got the highest number of votes.
Fox also added 10 points to Gryffindor as stated at the beginning of the class.
