Chapter 272 Collective
"Plaintiff Mikiko's selfish attitude is undoubtedly revealed in this behavior!" Takezawa stood in the middle of the court and reprimanded sternly, "We in Japan have always been a country that advocates collectiveness. The interests of the whole are higher than the interests of the partial.
Obviously, the project paper involved in the case is the joint result of the diligent research of all members of the scientific research team. However, just now, the plaintiff’s attorney claimed that Mikiko used her own research results. What I want to ask is, what does this claim mean to other members of the scientific research team?
Is it fair to say that?!”
"The plaintiff's attorney claimed that the severity of this behavior was even smaller. So is that really the case?!" Zhuze took a step forward.
Just now, Kitahara gave a sensational performance in court.
I want to win everyone's sympathy.
Now, Takezawa must also fight back.
I could only hear her voice continuing to say, "The achievements of the collective belong to the collective. The project paper condensed from everyone's dedication is the crystallization of collective efforts. Modern science is becoming more and more developed, and various fields are becoming more and more subdivided. No
People can become generalists in a field. In the past, a Newton or an Einstein could change the entire landscape of the subject, which has long become history. Today's science is a science that emphasizes sincere cooperation. Only unity, cooperation, and collective play can
Only with strength can progress and fruitful science be achieved!”
"In this case, Mikiko's theft of collective achievements is even far worse than the plagiarism of an individual scholar. Because she desecrated the collective achievements and negated the efforts of all members. Such extremely evil
Why shouldn’t we accept punishment from the university for our behavior?”
Takeze's voice is also full of emotional tension.
Between the ups and downs of her tone, Mikiko seemed to have become a heinous sinner.
It seems as if he should step onto the execution platform at this moment and accept the trial of death by fire.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the courtroom seemed to have changed again. The citizens who had been sympathetic to Mikiko just now seemed to have changed their stance. The words used by the lawyers were really as capable of manipulating people's hearts as the wiring of a doll.
"Let's not leave aside whether Lawyer Takezawa's grand theory about collective interests and local interests is correct." Kitahara sneered slightly, "Science has never been a field where you are good, I am good, and everyone is fine. We all live in peace, as long as we mix together.
A world where a good gentleman can get through safely."
"Science is an extremely cruel intellectual competition. If you understand it, you understand it. But those who cannot understand it may not be able to step into the threshold throughout their lives."
"Lawyer Fang Cai Zhuzai always emphasizes that the paper is a collective achievement and a common achievement. But the question is whether the contributions of each other's members are really integrated so thoroughly that they are indistinguishable. This is like two people equally
There are shareholders of a company. But are their equity shares common and indistinguishable? Obviously not. Maybe one person holds 30% of the shares and the other holds 70% of the shares. The shares between them
It can only be distinguished.”
"Similarly, for the project papers involved in the case, does the collective achievement and collective cooperation that Lawyer Zhuze calls really reach the point where it is impossible to distinguish between each other's contributions? I think this needs to be a question mark. In fact
, it can be seen from the email records just shown by the plaintiff’s attorney that the subsections of the paper involved in the case were indeed written independently by my client, Mikiko.”
"In this case, even if it is the so-called collective result, the contributions of different members to the paper can obviously be distinguished from each other. In this regard, I, Mikiko, still use my own contribution to the project paper!"
Kitahara launched a counterattack based on the separability of the paper's contribution.
Indeed, as Takezawa said, the paper involved in the case is a collective achievement.
However, Kitahara refuted the issue by focusing on whether the contributions of each member could be distinguished from each other. This further complicated the issue.
The divisibility of the paper's contribution... Takezawa gritted his teeth gently. The excitement of the grand narrative she had just constructed was shattered in just a blink of an eye by the Kitahara lawyer opposite with such a simple detail question.
.I’m not willing to give in, I’m really not willing to give in!
Of course, Takezawa would not give in easily. After thinking for a while, she immediately spoke: "I want to draw the attention of the plaintiff's attorney! Although the plaintiff Mikiko is a member of the scientific research project, her role as a member is still to obey the professor in charge and the person in charge of the project.
Command. The design, ideas, experiments, etc. of specific project papers are still jointly participated by the professors and other members. Yes, maybe Mikiko really wrote part of the paper independently. However, the relevant content is actually under the supervision of the project leader
It is carried out under the guidance and arrangements of the research team. The relevant experimental ideas, thesis design, etc. are still the ideas and contributions of others. As a member of the research team, Mikiko only obeys the relevant arrangements and completes the corresponding scientific research tasks."
"From this perspective, Mikiko's so-called independent writing and independent creation are just appearances. From a practical point of view, her writing of relevant thesis chapters is the macro arrangement of the entire topic. Even if Mikiko writes some chapters independently, she cannot
She believes that the contribution of some of the relevant papers belongs exclusively to her. I repeat again, the paper involved in the project is the result of the collective! The labor of the collective! The crystallization of the collective!"
Takezawa raised his voice further.
Especially the word "collective" is placed heavily in the tone.
In this way, it occupies even more of a natural moral high ground.
How else is the lawyer on the other side going to retort?
How else to refute?!
Zhuzawa's breathing has accelerated slightly due to the high-intensity mental confrontation. However, this time, she believed that the plaintiff's lawyer would never be able to stand up again.
However, the next second——
The male lawyer's voice sounded again.
The voice seemed to be mixed with teasing and ridicule.
The male lawyer of the plaintiff picked up the project paper involved in the case again, pointed to the author information annotation on it, and said: "Collective contribution? If it is really the collective contribution claimed by the defendant's attorney, then - why is the project involved in the case
The author of the paper only records the relevant participating professors, assistant professors, and lecturers, but does not include the students who participated in the experiment. Yes, not only are there no students in the author column, but there are also no students in the acknowledgments section of the paper notes. Lawyer Takezawa
, what you call a collective, is it a collective of professors, or a collective including students?"
"When dedication is needed, you are the collective."
"And when it's time to harvest, you are no longer a collective."
Chapter completed!
