When power or duty blurs boundaries for plausible reasons, it hurts even more than itself is meant to be maintained.
Following the Xi'an Metro Security, the Shenzhen Metro Security guard has been on the hot search.
At 10:00 p.m. on October 28, Mr. Chen, who had just left work in Shenzhen, took the subway, and a foreign passenger stood right next to him. According to Mr. Chen, soon after, a subway security guard came to him and asked him to give up his seat to the foreign passenger, and Mr. Chen, who had only undergone surgery a few days ago, refused, but the security guard still insisted on this proposal and gave a reason to "have hospitality", which made Mr. Chen very broken. At this time, another passenger could not look down and participated in the theory with security. The dispute lasted for about 20 minutes, during which a "sublime foreign" accusation made the security guard extremely emotional, not only angry, shaking his fist, but also asking the passengers to get out of the car and follow him to the police room. Later, the video was on the hot search, and later, the company where the security guard was located apologized.
Many netizens said that they could not understand the mysterious operation of this security guard, and could not understand his mental journey, is the "hospitality" feeling too strong? Or is there a misunderstanding of "traditional etiquette"? Or is it too confident in the power in the hands of the opponent?
Perhaps we should believe his company's explanation that the security guard did have a misunderstanding of his "sublime beauty" because of poor communication, and his anger was only due to the harm of misunderstanding. After all, the attitude bias of the public service industry is not a trivial matter, if "Chinese should give up seats to foreigners out of hospitality" is a service principle, then the harm will be greater, and the harm will be extremely strong. After all, Shenzhen is a highly open city, not only in the global urban system, and the development potential is huge, more people will hope that the city "will not give in", not only in the economy, but also in all aspects of the cultural rise.
Of course, attaching such a topic to this security guard may be too heavy. The security guard is just a grassroots service person, and it is not necessary or should not be on the line. As far as the incident itself is concerned, the motive of the security guard to let people give up their seats does not need to be too deeply investigated, but his attempt to force others to give up their seats is more noteworthy.
Whether to give up seats to foreigners is actually not a problem, and it is not a problem to give up seats to whom, provided that the person who gives up his seat is willing. Because from a legal point of view, there is currently no legal provision that makes the concession a legal obligation. Of course, in daily life, there are cases where there is no reason for the unseated person to sit down, but no one gives up his seat. At this time, the staff can come forward to propose, and most passengers can also spontaneously form a kind of public opinion pressure, so that those who do not let the seat sit like needles. Please note, however, that no one can force another person to give up his seat, as the law does not provide for this.
The so-called law enforcement and administration according to law, "according to law" is a prerequisite that cannot be surpassed. Public power derives from law, and the boundaries of its exercise stop at law. As can be seen from the video, the security guard whose offer to "give up the seat" was rejected was very angry, not only glaring at the passengers, but even raising his fist. This is reminiscent of the Xi'an subway security guards who dragged female passengers so that their bodies were exposed. When power or duty blurs boundaries for plausible reasons, it hurts even more than itself is meant to be maintained.
Security has the obligation and power to maintain normal work order and law and order in a fixed area, but this has boundaries. Since there is no law that stipulates that giving up a seat is a legal obligation, then the security guard cannot use the power in his hands to force the giving up of the seat, even if your intentions are good, even if your reasons are beautiful.
