Social Problem

I might be old fashion in my wearing, my hair style, or even my thinking. But then what, as long as I earn a good living, a respected position in the organization and in the community.

They are so many of them saying , they are in the front line in fashion, so what, what they got and what is their position and where they stand? Some of the mother wearing a shirt is just like the short belongs to his youngest daughter. And the pant is just like not enough cloth.

We cannot blame the fashion designer, because the fashion designer didn’t force them to wear it. They want to be famous, they want business, so they say everything is good. The manufacturer didn’t force you to buy them. The only problems is the person cannot think and judge properly, they are unable to justify whether which is more suitable for them and which is more suitable for his children. If the parent cannot show a good example to the children, how can we expect the young one be good, so the senior should show a good thinking and behavior to the junior. If a mother always wear like going to the dinner of fashion show, how can you expect the young one be normal. She will go everywhere to look for money to satisfy their needs. There’s why so many standing at the corner or at the stair case telling people that they can provide services. If their are not satisfied, they will make a step further to get more money, there’s how crime come in.

Influences from the senior is not the only matter that affect the junior, our education system do affect the thinking of the youngsters. We learn something about respecting the parents, and follow what they said, but nowadays, our school teacher said, do what you think is right, ask for your right. Look at our university students, they like to get involve in the politic more than in the academic project. They go on strike, they ask for this and ask for that. They get themselves involve in the management, they want to get involve in the policy. Why they want to get involve in the management issue, why they get involve in the appointment of school chancellor. To me, this is just because they are influence by someone, by those irresponsible people, they wanted to see things in trouble. They are looking for their own benefit and profit only. They don’t want to see other getting better, so they start influencing other to create trouble. The most important thing for the student is to learn and gain more knowledge. Learn how to behave and have discipline. Why they are so particular on who is the chancellor. As long as the school policy and the school operating system is there, the school can still operate with any chancellor. As a student, their responsibility is to learn and gain knowledge, if they can’t even behave well in the school, how can we expect them to behave well in the society and community. This is a failure of education system.

When we sit down and watch the TV program at night, sometimes, we may see some program from oversea like, Europe, America, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Korea, Indonesia and so on. Have anyone of us carefully analyze them, whether they are good for our youngster or not. Some of the program can damage the thinking of our youngster, and we didn’t realize that’s ours youngster cannot differentiate what is right and what is wrong, they think this is the world, this is human right, they think this is fashion. So they follow, smoking, drunk, fighting for woman, disturbing other, rude and no discipline. They learn to show their temper whenever they are not happy. They learn to speed fast on the street, and act like in the picture, they think they are the hero, they are professional and well capable. This is where our government should get involve in controlling all the program, check all contents before releasing them to the public. Look at the concert show, especially from the European, the way they dress and the way they dance is very misleading. Ours youngster will do the same thing and said this is the trend.

The organizer and sponsor will seldom said or care about the social responsibility because they want business, they consider only how much they invest and how much they get in return. Can you imagine what will happen if our child take a bottle of water and twist on the street disturbing other. Can you imagine, how many of us together with our youngster get damage by this slogan “have magnum, have possibility.” (I just translate from Mandarin) They are teaching us to gamble, but our government is very quiet on this. May be our government need more tax from them, so they are allow.

I just read a news from Singapore, saying that someone saw his classmate standing at the street for ….., what is that so unacceptable, we have a lot too. Prostitute is every where in this world. May be some of them think prodigious and some of them are profligate, so they make a start on this and cannot turn back. Prostitute can survive because there is a need in the market. Man needs or family problem? No communication between husband and wife, or both doesn’t respect each other, or TV program teach us to look for prostitute, for more fun or more exciting. We have to educate them, tell them, this is not the only way to earn a living, but most them will said, this is the only way to earn fast money. This is the only way that can support their expenditure on new dress, cigarette, gambling and alcohol.

There are many more which damaging the mind set of us especially to our young ones, the most important one could be freedom, freedom doesn’t means we can do anything we like, we have our own culture, we cannot follow strictly or copy everything from the European. We have our own Asian standard of living and culture. We should respect our senior in our own family or any where. We should learn from our leaders and respect the law, and we must learn to appreciate. That’s how we build a healthy society and family.

voice and view from others are always welcome. share you thinking , please.
