some thoughts

In the article "He Can Be Me," Liu Yu said, "Universal human rights protect not only the freedom of 'me', but the freedom of others who are 'me' - in this value, society consists of countless It consists of a 'me' with equal dignity, instead of a 'me' at the top, several 'you' at the bottom, and countless 'hes' at the bottom, and only society understands it as countless dignity Only when there is an equal 'I' can universal human rights become necessary and precious. In other words, the ethical basis of the concept of human rights is not willfulness, but fraternity." The theme of this film is perfectly written. A white man was sentenced to 3 years in prison for killing a black man, and a black man was sentenced to 6 years in prison for assaulting a police officer by stealing something and hitting a policeman in the foot. Thinking of "Untouchable", the friendship between people of different classes and different races may not seem to us, because we have not experienced that painful period and we do not understand, but when we understand history, we can understand that this has how precious. It may be impossible to completely eliminate racism and sexism, but it cannot be avoided because of this. There are always differences between people and people. If you think that you are superior to others, it is none of your business, and one day discrimination will come to you, and it will develop into unreasonable things such as hairstyle discrimination (in fact, it already exists, isn't it).
Today, political correctness has developed to the extreme (perhaps not yet), and we have always believed that political correctness is a stage we must go through. When campaigning, we must be measured and never be lenient with those who use political correctness to run amuck. Let us recognize the cruel status quo and reflect on human mistakes. When countless people criticize political correctness, I really feel We are making progress. I still believe that this is a time period that all human beings must go through. We are an era, an era used for transition. Equality for everyone or close to equality for everyone will inevitably not exist in our era. It exists in a beautiful future. I never doubted it. But our era is definitely not an era of abandonment, but an era of decisive significance. If everyone can work hard to eliminate discrimination, utopia will be in the future. If everyone is so arrogant, where will the future be? rise. Does the sense of mission exist in everyone's heart and become heavier?
Once again, I quote a passage from Liu Yu as the end - the so-called awakening of human nature is to withdraw from the role that one has been hiding from, to recover to be an independent, complete person who needs to be responsible for their own actions, and to climb a little bit from the deep well of the system Come up, in the wider sky, and see how raindrops converge into a flood.
