Zhikao Primary School shares | reminder or constraint

In 1994, American youth Mike was sentenced to four months in prison, a S$350 fine, and six whips after graffiti on someone else's car. After Clinton interceded, then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew gave some face and reduced it to three whips. Singapore's whipping was very good, three whips, the ass was open, and the United States was also in an uproar that year, accusing Singapore of barbarism.

You may say that Singapore's laws are extremely rare in the world, so let's look at the United States, which often advertises itself as a human rights person. In the United States, in the event of uncivilized behavior or disruption of public order on board an aircraft, the passenger involved will be immediately "invited" to disembark. In 2011 alone, more than 17,000 passengers in the United States were denied boarding or deported, and the system was just as rigid.

Of course, we have our own culture and our national conditions, and it is absolutely impossible to copy the systems and management methods of other countries. However, since China's transportation department issued the law on "drunk driving into prison", "drinking without driving, driving without drinking" has become the consensus of the Chinese people, and the traffic accident rate caused by drinking has been greatly reduced.

Kind reminders are necessary, but not for all people. At the same time as reminding, it is necessary to implement "restraint" and introduce corresponding laws and regulations, so that the cost of criminal crimes of violators is greatly increased, and its deterrent power naturally plays a great role, so as to exchange for harmony and tranquility. The law is a tiger with long teeth, guarding the bottom line of morality and the rules of behavior agreed upon by a society, and without modern rules, there must be forest rules. A society without the protection of the law must be unjust and chaotic. An unjust and chaotic society is certainly uncivilized, and it is naturally difficult to achieve healthy development.

It has been said that the so-called "cultured" should refer to cultivation rooted in the heart, self-consciousness without reminder, freedom premised on restraint, and kindness for the sake of others. This kind of cultural self-awareness is a lesson that many of us should learn well!
