law in the jungle

When a person errs for money, that person sins. When a person makes a mistake for the bread, the society is sinning. ——It seems that Mark Twain
simply discusses the good and evil of human nature and the degree of morality and law between them, which is indeed a big focus of this film. However, this is where people’s hearts and human nature are complicated. It’s just like they showed pain and self-blame when they heard the facts, and they seem to have forgotten all this when they heard that people are not dead. It’s normal and natural. Well, the vast majority of people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, that's what they are. Whether you think it’s reasonable or you don’t like it, you can’t change it, and you can’t even change it. You yourself are one of those people.
What I want to say is that society, as a group concept that includes many people, is the noumenon that should play a role and ability at this time. Social function 1: The heroine struggled to become unemployed at first, and there was no social security for dismissal without reason. Social function 2: Unemployment and re-employment, maybe something needs to be done. Social function 3: Whether there is complete evidence to prove the process of approval or disapproval of the rescue association. Social function 4: Is there any concern and appeal to this similar situation.
When touching porcelain has become a social status quo, I think it is really a duty not to help the elderly get up. You don't see how many people's pain after helping them up. I have personally experienced such a situation on the street. After a person helped the old man, the old man's family came to blackmail the helper. More onlookers said to each other, fortunately I didn't help; fortunately, I stopped you; You see, I knew it would be; and so on and so forth. Are you saying that all these people have lost their conscience and their morals? No, people just follow their instincts to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and choose a more comfortable and stable situation with themselves. So, from this point of view, all the people in the house of sin, did not sin. (Not to defend them, they're not very good stuff.)
But!
The actual result is that they forced the heroine to death. This is an established fact under logical connection, inescapable and beyond reproach. Therefore, we always have to find a reason.
The lion ate a sheep, and the sheep companions on the grassland were very sad. They held a meeting to criticize the lion, and they were full of righteous indignation and impassioned. Especially those sheep who are very familiar with that sheep or those whose sports level is similar to that sheep are very worried that the next one is themselves, and eagerly express their panic. However, at this moment, the lion is strolling leisurely, with the satisfaction and comfort after eating. These, the sheep can't see, of course, even if they see, there is nothing else to do except run away.
The small but powerful group is the lion, and the large and incompetent weak group is the sheep. Some people are eaten, some people cannibalize, simple and clear.
Is it appropriate to say that?
No, inappropriate, really inappropriate. In human society, people are of the same species. We were not originally a relationship between a lion and a sheep, but now it has evolved into a relationship between a lion and a sheep. Is it the rapid development of the world, the high worship of interests, and the high prosperity of material things that cause all this?
No, it's because civilization and morality haven't kept up, and social assistance hasn't been formed at the same time. Their lag has caused the life of the weak in the human jungle society to be like a mustard, with no way to survive.
but!
Pushing the cause to the society is not the final result. The cause should be pushed to all members of the society, each of us. It's you and the government who haven't paid attention to coming up with effective solutions, it's the people who haven't joined forces to fight against moral decline, it's you and I who sigh and despise the people who touch porcelain and cut the queue, but passively accept it and don't want to. Being the first bird shot by the gun, the unintentional and intentional connivance of all this, has caused results.
So I remembered that sentence again, your existence is also a responsibility, a responsibility that cannot be excused from ignorance and incompetence.

An Inspector Calls quotes

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.

    The Inspector: They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Birling: [hanging up the phone] A girl has died. Suicide. A police inspector is on his way to ask us some questions.
