(3)要避免带有个人成见的定义。定义应该是客观的,贴近实际情况的,不应含有感情色彩。例如,国有企业即高消耗低效率企业是带有明显贬义的定义,而国有企业是工人当家做主的样板则是带有偏爱色彩的定义。这两类定义可以作为辩论中的论点提出,但作为定义是不恰当的。
什么样的定义才识好的和客观的呢?请看下例:
A kachina doll is a small, carved, wooden, human like representation of the supernatural beings worshiped by the Hopi Indians. Kachinas are not gods: as their name denotes, ka for respect and china for spirit, they are respected spirits of the dead, of mineral, plant, bird, animal, and human entities. Kachinas are not gods, but rather they are intermediaries or messengers to the gods. In the polytheistic Hopi society, all plants and animals, as well as some inanimate things, have spirits which the Hopi visualize in human form. When a Hopi goes to gather yucca roots to use as shampoo, he prays to the spirit of the first plant he finds and passes it by gathering the second one. When he goes hunting, he prays to the spirit of the game and apologizes for having to take its life. Thus the spirits of men, animals, and plants are the kachinas most often carved into kachina dolls.
