The Collapse in Moral Education, as Bullying Became, an Ordinary, Day-to-Day Thing

And yet, people can’t even, do this, and so, the morality is still, going down that, slippery, slope, the morals are, too, messed up here!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The econ student of N.T.U., as s/he went for the election of the head of student council, posed the wayward campaign calls, that’s filled with a ton of sexist beliefs, along with, the wayward claims too, this caused the criticisms from all around.  Or maybe, the student was just, amusing himself, a careless act on his part, but, this, “sense of humor”, had hurt a lot of people, and it’s, not at all, funny!  And for this, N.T.U. publicized the apologize to the society.

There’d already been, countless incidents of how students turned something that’s outrageous to believing it was humorous.  As early as the N.T.U. student council’s free speech month had a racist slur about the natives, on how they were given the free percentage scores added to their entrance exam grades automatically, with the P.S. of “the specialty rights of the natives is the government’s tyranny to the rest of us”, this clearly, sparked up debate, and it has nothing to do with freedom of speech, and it’s worrisome, that this might start up the chain reactions of racism responses.

There are many more of these incidents, including the unnamed high school in Taichung, setting up the carnival booth, using a derogatory remark against the native populations as the booth’s name, the unofficial fans pages of several high schools had the Swastika made of the symbols, it’s also, alarming.

In 2016, a high school in Hsinchu held a costume parade, some of the students dressed themselves up like Nazis, and it’d caused upset from the Israeli Diplomatic Office here.  All of these bad behaviors, had all, gone overboard; they’d all, discriminated against a subculture, a people, and they all sparked up the hatred for the certain groups in question.

what the DDP government “scored” on instilling the right morale, and, there’s still, NO, “makeup” exams for this one, the “grade” is, final here! Photo from online

The high levels of discrimination will cause hate, what the Nazis did to the Jews, were the violence acted out from discrimination.  As educators, we needed to remind our students, teach them, that the global community is made up of many different races of people, that they should avoid any forms of stereotypes and, discriminations too.  In Taiwan, freedom of speech is what’s been given, but, these speech can’t discriminate against others, nor should it, spark up hatred.  The values of the students aren’t yet stabilized or formed completely yet, the school teachers, the parents, the friends, and the classmates, all have the responsibilities to remind them to note, that freedom by definition, is not to discriminate against anyone else, nor can their speech, actions spark up anger, and it doesn’t matter if it was intentional or not, discrimination is, unallowed and unacceptable.

But, these incidents, are only, occasional, we can’t generate this to every school in the country, nor can we, round all the younger generations up, and label all of them as, discriminatory.

Back in 2005, Prince Harry wore the military attire with the Nazi Swastika to a party, and it’d, caused something huge; but if we say that the education in England had, failed, then, it may be, too, overboard.  Back then, the age of Prince Harry is around the same age as the econ students in N.T.U., clearly, he too, hadn’t, considered everything, just like this group of students hadn’t either.

Respecting others is the most basic of virtues of citizenship, nobody can use any forms of discriminations toward anyone else.  Making fun, and joking around, should not have anything racist, even if it is a discussion of public policy, for instance, the policies to give the extra points to the natives on the entrance exams.

And so this, is just how dumb these, COLLEGE students are these days, or maybe, the prefrontal cortexes are, delayed in developments for some reasons, I mean, at LEAST, you should have the senses, to know, that hey, what I’m about to post to say, to write, constitutes as, “racist” or “sexist” remarks, I mean, you can’t point to a BLACK (I mean, “African-American) person, and call her/him a “nigger”, just like you should NOT making those noises that sounded like metals clinking when you encounter, one of us, Asian people, because that is not what Chinese sound like either!

But, hey, these college level ADULTS are still, getting, DUMBER by the generations, thanks to the education in the schools, in all around, the world!

Respecting Others, Don’t Discriminate, This, is the Most Basic of Being a Fitting Citizen of a Country

The Structures of Enablers Still Intact, there’s NO Resolve to the Matter of Racism

How the use of the high school classes “carnival stand” is, a racial slur, and it’s, spinning, out of, control, and this is still due to the students’ IGNORANCE, and the school should’ve been more watchful, in educating the high school age “kids” on this too!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

The Taichung First High School students using the C₃H₅Na to make fun of natives had spun out of control, the legislator brought the fact of how the native students are being cyberbullied on social network.  The matter of racism kept recurring in Taiwan more and more prevalently in recent years, and what we need to note, is how the incident from Taichung First High School suggested to the enabling culture of discrimination in Taiwan.

The American sociologist believed that “trends are signs”, the single incident does NOT exist independently from society as a whole, it’s a social problem with more severity.  So, from the incident at Taichung First High School, we can deduct, that in the recent years, the “backflips” of mocking natives in a university, the youtuber, Ghosts Kuo’s “the residents of Lanyu are the most sexually open”, to the mainstream Golden Bell T.V. Awards making fun of the native cultures, reflecting just ONE core matter: our society enables the means of racism.

The students who’d set up the carnival stand using the derogatory name referring to the natives, they don’t see anything wrong with what they’d done, the groups that bullied the natives, nobody puts a stop to, the online media making fun of the native winners of the awards, but, none of the members of the press believed it to be, wrong, that hey, maybe what we are saying, might, offend someone.  From the sociologist’s angle, the problem of racism is now, societal, and now just in the means of education, workforce, news media anymore, meaning, that in the society, there are, a ton of people, who’d lacked the pathological awareness that they are, racists, and, oftentimes, it would take something to  get out of control, for the individuals involved to realize, “hey, I seemed to have done or said something, awful!”

racism and bullying often come hand-in-hand…photo from online

If we take “anti-racism” as something that’s vital to the wellbeing of all the people, then, the Department of Education should, improve the awareness of “multiculture” in the high schools and universities.  If we don’t do anything, and just allow these incidents of racism to keep recurring, then, “respect for ALL the subcultures in Taiwan” will become, nothing more, than that, overly used, motto!

And so, this showed just how, ignorant, the schools, the officials, and the students are, I mean yeah, you can make the excuse for the students for NOT knowing better (uh, they’re all, at least, SIXTEEN, and you would imagine, that they would have some, COMMON sense here!), but because, the schools didn’t put an end to this bad behavior, I mean, it was, a school carnival, that’s, hosted within, the campuses, and yet, nobody higher up (the principals, the disciplinary officials, yada, yada, yada, yada) thought to REVIEW the booths, the stands set up first, before the students, started using the racist slurs, “for fun”…

Don’t Let Discrimination Spread Across the School Campuses

The name-calling, and, I’m sure, it’d, started out, very innocently, by these, middle school, students, but, this showed of the intolerance the people have for different cultures, how ignorant, the schools can be, in allowing these sorts of discriminatory remarks to get posted!  Off of the Front Page Sections, translated…

Awhile ago, a carnival stand at the First High School in Taichung had the name of “Sodium Cyclopentadienide” homophonous with “you DEAD Native”, it’d caused the online community to get heated up.  In actuality, this wasn’t an isolated incident; last year, at a middle school in Taichung, there’d been an incident of someone calling a native, “You DEAD Native”, that’s caused a fight to break up, that ended in the victim of the bullied leaping off the building to commit suicide.  The school and the department of the school responsible in overseeing these issues in discrimination, if they don’t take these things seriously enough, and start changing the systems, once the modeling effect sets in, there would be more and more cases of bullying in schools.

There are two facets worth noting in this current “incident”: the meaning of these events, what the schools and departments of the schools responsible should do about it.  On the meaning of the events, the racism in school went from the individual, to the collective.  The propaganda with the discrimination isn’t from just one individual, but through the discussion of the class, which they’d, come up with; not only did the theme carry that overtone of discrimination, the items served on the stand, are also, insulting to the, natives.  A group of sixteen, seventeen year-old boys, spent a whole lot of time in class, discussing about how they’re to, verbally assault a certain group, this collective discrimination is alerting to the realms of, education for sure.

at a school carnival like this, where discrimination against the natives was, happening! Photo from online

Although the school demanded the students take down the posters as soon as it was sighted, and gave the class opportune education, to prevent the discrimination from spreading, but the severity which the school viewed the events, needed more attention on.  What sort of a schooling environment, can cause the students to make fun of another race, subculture so heartlessly, to STEP on the dignity of the group, to view it as, something, funny.  I strongly recommend, that the school go back, and reexamine the lacking of education in cultural awareness, race, equality, to make up for the damages of the events, and to have the measures, to PREVENT these sorts of things from recurring again.

Besides, the school should not forget, that there are, many, native students attending the school, as a parent of native origins, we feel it, that our young is, learning in an, unfriendly environment.  I suggest, that the school should pay more attention to the minds, the psychological wellbeing of the natives students who are attending the school, to not put this group of students under more pressures, or cause them to become the detonator of conflicts on the campuses.

And, although the education forum had started pushing forth the education of native cultures in the policies, through the curriculum, teaching the students to understand the native cultures more, but, comparing to the gender equality education, with its separate set of curriculum, there is, the room for more improvement on this.

And so, this, is how something that’s, so “innocent” (no it’s not!), can get blown, out of, control, and, these students did NOT get their discriminatory beliefs, from thin air, they must be, absorbing these values, from watching the adults in their lives, interact with their, environments, because, children still watch and, learn, and, the school, as well as the classroom are both at FAULT, for NOT “reviewing” things, more, carefully!

When Color MATTERED, Way More, than the Plot or, the, Storyline…

What this world, became, in all its, “politically-correctedness”…

When the colors of the skins of the main character of the stories we’d listened to, watched from T.V., that oughta, turn our worlds, up side down, doesn’t it?

Imagine how your child was watching say???  Aladdin?  Then, as the dude rubs that lamp, out popped, a large being, with the black-colored skins (hey, I thought that genies are supposed to be, BLUE!!!), then, your kid gets confused, because s/he had watched the cartoon version with the BLUE-COLORED GENIE from before, hey mommy, why is this genie BLACK???

Or, how about, that very FIRST, BLACK “princess”, Tiana (I believe???), from the @#$%ING (maintaining my PG-13 ratings???) The FROG PRINCE, and, if you really want to get political about it, then, why the HELL is this BLACK princess the one kissing that god damn toad, I mean, all those other princesses from Disney (i.e. Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beast, yada, yada, yada), they all got to kiss humans, and, wouldn’t THAT be, unfair, if the BLACK (fine, “African-American”) princess was made to kiss that slimy, yucky, T-O-A-D?

the very FIRST “African-American Princess”, “assigned to kiss a TOAD, what would that mean??? Picture from online

And this, is what cartoons for children became currently, when the COLORS, the politically-correctness, mattered WAY, WAY, W-A-Y more than, the STORYLINE (the PLOT???), and this is still driven by the IDEOLOGIES, and that’s still just, BULLSHIT, if you ask me…

Yeah, yeah I know, who asked Y-O-U, right???

Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-hmmmmmmmmmmmm, and how does THAT make YOU feel?

End of THERAPY!  And you all should know WHAT you need to do already, so…

The Homeless in, Their Eyes

Stereotypes we may all have, toward this group of people who are living the hard, life…translated…

Passed by the busying Zhong-Xing Street after work, and saw that elderly man whom I hadn’t seen in a long while, who’d lived on the streets, having returned back to the sidewalks, sleeping on sidewalks, with the quilt covering him.  A young boy passing by saw, told his mother, “this is the first time I see a homeless person.” To which, his mother responded, “you must study hard, work to make a living, otherwise, you’ll be, homeless just like him.”  I was surprised at how this mother socialized her young son, because, studying hard, making money, and becoming homeless, are completely, nonrelational.

I’d interned in the homeless shelter during my graduate studies, during the time, the professor took us to observe the homeless community in the underground shopping strip of the Taipei Main Station, in the Zhongshan, Datong, as well as the Wanhwa Districts to observe them, my professor knew a few of these homeless individuals personally, every time we’d always sat with them to converse, and that opened my mind up to the structures of society, the understanding of the socioeconomic statuses, and using a different perspective, to interpret these problems in the, society, it’d helped reformed my prejudices toward the homeless population.

people like these…

photo from online

Everybody has a different story of life, of these homeless individuals, there were many who were once well-educated, with steady jobs, but due to the major turns of life, they’d become, homeless, waiting for their chances, to get back up again.  A lot of the homeless population have jobs, it’s just, that most of them worked in temporary posts, which can’t pay for their living needs, that was why they’d temporarily, stayed on the streets.  Some of the homeless, their families would visit them from time to time, maybe, they just wanted to, escape home for a short while, to try out a different way of living is all.  Some members, due to work injuries, they couldn’t find steady full-time jobs again, and started living meal-to-meal.  The complex causes of homelessness, can’t be easily brushed over with the prejudiced words.

If they have a home, why would they want to wander the street?  The news media shaped the homeless into nothing but negative, which in turn, caused this pair of mother and son to become, prejudiced.  This uncle was very clean in appearance, I’m thinking, that it isn’t that he doesn’t have a home, but has some difficulties, which made him live on the streets instead.  There’s different facets of the various families, and we should NOT stereotype, and label someone else.  I hope, that we will all be able to, use some empathy, toward those who are having a hard time in the world, living their, lives.

And so, this is bad socialization of the mother to the child, the mother is socializing the child to fear, to hate, to feel disgusted toward the homeless, but, like the writer stated, these members of the homeless population all have their individual stories of WHY and HOW they’d, ended up on the streets, and if you can’t take the time to get to understand the reasons of these people being homeless, and you start judging them, and what’s worse, is that you’re passing this stereotype, this prejudice to your own, young, and this is, really, bad!

Breeding Intolerance

This is what, the “free” world is doing, doesn’t look so “free” NO more (and your point being???) does it now???  Nope!

Breeding intolerance, we’re, teaching our children (still don’t got one!) to HATE those who are different than they are, and, forget about the constitution and all the “freedom” that are, “given” to WE the people, ‘cuz they’re all, CONDITIONAL, and the conditions under which these freedoms are “given” to us (oh MERCIFUL government, we BOW to you!), is that we OBEYED their rules…

Breeding intolerance, we will HATE everybody who are unlike us, those who are of different colors in skin, hair, eye color, yada, yada, yada, we will, STEOREOTYPE, we will, DISCRIMINATE, and OSTRASIZE them, until they finally, gets OUT of this system of ours.  Breeding intolerance, yeah, sure, the laws are passed for okaying same-sex marriage, so?  We still do NOT give equal rights to the same-sex couples as those heterosexual couples.

Breeding intolerance, that, is what these governments are doing, stating that they’re “free”, that every man (what about women, huh???) are created EQUAL (yeah, you’re all EQUAL all right: all ASSuming ASSholes, all IDIOTS, all LOSERS!), that you have the rights over our rights to abort, whether or NOT we choose to have our babies, because we are, a lesser sex to you.

Breeding intolerance, that, is what the FREE world (doesn’t look OR feel that free no more, does it!!!) looked like, as the CONSERVATIVES run it.

Next, they will go after the rights of women to DIVORCE their abusive husbands, and, take away the rights of our voices to speak up and out…

So, what’s next, huh???  Oh, we’re still waiting for that ASTEROID to come and HIT earth, so everything goes, KA-BOOM!

A Real Man LOVES His, Families

This is BULLSHIT, because the PRE-disposition of this is, that ALL household chores are, OUR problems, not men’s, well, you know what losers, that’s NOT our problem, you are half responsible for HALF of everything, when we say our, “I do’s” here, okay???  Yeah, and so, ladies, don’t go ‘round high-fiving each other, just ‘cuz you’d trained your LOSER HAS-BEENS to do them, household chores, they ARE supposed to do that, without being told, because it’s HALF as our family as it’s, theirs, remember, so, don’t be glad, when you find one day, those fucking (so???) sons-of-bitches husbands or boyfriends do the dishes for you, ‘k???  Translated…

I had NO plans to be married or have children, but as I’d met my husband, a man who is willing to love me and my family, to care for me, I’d started, changing my thoughts, and got married.  For over ten years, he’d not changed at all from before to after, instead, he’d turned more mature, and more responsible, and I was glad, that I’d not, made the wrong choice.

It’s too important, selecting the ones we’re to marry, which will, alter the path of the second half of our, lives.  Entering into a marriage, it’s not just the process of adjustment for the two individuals, but the merging of two, separate, families, the respects the two families show for each other, and the willingness to allow for the time needed to adjust to one another.

a man, doing WHAT he is, supposed to be, doing originally, that WE don’t NEED to praise them over!

photo from online

“How is it that it’s your husband, doing the dishes?  You’d let him?”, after a family gathering, my husband saw me working in the kitchen, hadn’t had time to eat ye, but, with the used eating utensils stacking up in the sink, so I’d, continued to clean up.  He’d told me, “I’ll do it, go eat now.”  As I picked up my bowl, and my chopsticks, an elder female member of the family asked me this.  I’d turned and smiled to answer, “it takes me way too long to do the dishes, he worried, that after I was done, I won’t have any more appetite.”, the other elders all started commending on how loving, how gently my husband is toward me, and started pouring their, hearts out, “during our times, men weren’t allowed in the kitchens, let alone, to do the, dishes.  You are, certainly, blessed, with an amazing mother-in-law, who’d let your husband help you.”

Many years, I’d agreed to how I’m blessed with good fortune, with a husband who is willing to give to this marriage, with loving in-laws who treated me like their own.  But, other than being blessed with the good fortunes, the willingness to “work together to make the family work” is even more, important, because without this thought, you may be blessed with good fortune, but you still won’t have a good and happy, marriage.

The workings of a marriage, a family functioning well, it’s the result of both the husband and the wife’s, hard work, not just on one person’s doing; and, this starts from the smaller matters of the day-to-day, the chores, to start building that sense of coownership of our family, and our senses of, responsibility.  “A good wife is loved”, I can’t say that I’m, a perfect wife, but, if someone says, that I’m my husband’s, “better half”, I would have to say thanks to my husband, for treating me kindly, for loving me, to help me, be, a good and fitting wife to him.

The couples who treated each other with respect, will surely, grow old together; and a man who truly, loves and cherishes his own wife, is, a real, MAN!

And this is still, based off of the beliefs that household chores are NONE of YOUR beeswax, which is SHIT, because, uh, hello, who is this family again???  Oh yeah, it’s the two of “us” (just SHOOT me, why don’t ya!!!), and this is still SHIT, because this is based off of the assumption that we women need to slave ourselves over them household chores, after we do our own separate nine-to-fives, and that’s just BULLSHIT!  And so, this woman here, does NOT have a “good husband”, based off of the meanings of what a “good” husband should be.

A good man should SIT, STAY, good boy, now, go FETCH!  And that, would be, HOW we all need to, RE-train our men, to HELP out around the house.

You have got to be SHITTING me here!

The Second Sex – Georgiann Carlson — Brave & Reckless — Rethinking Life

Saw from the Handicapped Individuals’ Perspectives, the Physically Handicapped Persons League Fought for Equal Rights

The man’s experienced the prejudices, the inconveniences firsthand, and he’s, pushing forth for changes, to make the lives of the handicapped individuals, easier here, off of the Newspapers, translated…

The man, who’d been concerned of the benefits shown to handicapped persons for over a decade, Chang, found that the society isn’t friendly enough toward the group, at the end of October of last year, he’d set up the “”Taiwanese Right for Handicapped Person’s Welfare League”, to try and change the problems that the handicapped population may come face-to-face with in their day to day, and pushed forth the values of CRPD, the convention of the rights of persons with disabilities.

“The field of vision from a wheelchair, is completely different from the way the rest of the healthy people see the world!”, Chang who lives in Taipei had set up the association, being a long-time supporter of rights of handicapped persons, there are the members with the multiple disabilities, “The different characteristics of the physical handicaps all have the various sorts of problems, hardships in day-to-day living.”

Chang who is in a wheelchair had focused his attention on the matters of handicapped workers, and the matters of retirement of the handicapped persons. And, transportation and obstacles in getting around physically are also, issues of his primary concerns, like how there’s the height differences from sidewalk to sidewalk without the ramps, may turn into the “invisible killers” of those who needed to get around in a wheelchairs, and the sidewalks being occupied by scooters, forcing the handicapped individuals to walk on the roads, sharing the traffic with cars and scooters.

this is, what the immobilized are faced with, every time they go out…photo from online

Chang told, that setting up the foundation, it wasn’t only to help those who are handicapped, he also hoped that the central government can put an amendment in for the “Rights of the Handicapped Individuals in society” as well, most of the physically handicapped persons felt that they had been borderlined, seen as an odd species, that they are, looking for sympathy from the rest of the population, not only wouldn’t they be protected because of this belief, they’re also, discriminated again, he’d stated, that the handicapped persons don’t need sympathy, pity, what they need and deserved, is, equal rights with the rest of the population.

And so, this, is from the man who’s in a wheelchair, he felt the prejudices that others had treated him with, and experienced firsthand, how inconvenient it is, to become, more mobile, and how dangerous it was, to share the roads with cars and scooters, because there’s no ramp leading to the sidewalks, to get his wheelchair to go on the sidewalks, and he’s bringing that into public’s awareness, hoping, that something will be done about it.
