Title: Why is helmet wearing resistant?
On the streets of the city, cyclists weave through traffic, occasionally wearing brightly coloured helmets, but many more choose not to wear them, prompting reflections on helmet resistance. What is it that makes some people reject the existence of helmets while riding? Let's start with the deeper psychological and cultural factors behind this phenomenon.
Some riders' resistance to helmets stems from the design and comfort of the helmet. Bulky helmets, non-breathable materials, and the right size can make riding painful. And the deeper reason may be that wearing a helmet makes people feel "constrained" and lose a sense of freedom to breathe. In addition, wearing a helmet can also give people a sense of "lack of confidence", believing that wearing a helmet will make them look "cool" or doubt their riding skills.
On the other hand, social culture also influences people's attitudes towards helmets to a certain extent. In some regions or specific groups, wearing a helmet is seen as an unnecessary safety measure, or even a sign of "pretentiousness". In such a culture, an individual's choice not to wear a helmet may be influenced by those around them to demonstrate their independence and bravery.
In this regard, the author believes that personal choice and social responsibility should be balanced. Although wearing a helmet may cause some inconvenience and discomfort, it is still a wise choice considering the safety of riding. At the same time, we also need to realize that socio-cultural influences affect people's behavior and choices, so we need to gradually change people's attitudes towards helmets through education and guidance.
However, a worrying trend is that with the rise of individualistic ideas, more and more people may choose to abandon the helmet and put the rights of the individual above overall security. This raises a thought-provoking question: should we be more respectful of individual choice, or should we place more emphasis on social responsibility, and in the future, we need to find a balance between freedom and safety to ensure that everyone has the right to ride safely.
