On June 24, there was an incident of "sexual harassment" on Beijing Metro Line 10 caused by the issue of giving up seats. When an elderly man got into the car and forced a young woman to give up his seat, he harassed her with a cane and tried to threaten her by calling the police.
In the incident, the old man's behavior was extremely bad, which not only violated the woman's personal rights, but also seriously disrupted public order. After repeatedly asking to give up his seat, he took extreme action and used his cane and pestle to the woman's sensitive parts, which was not only a physical violation of the woman, but also a violation of her dignity.
The woman showed a firm attitude in the face of the old man's unreasonable demands and harassment, she refused to give up her seat and loudly refuted the old man's unreasonable demands.
However, the old man's behavior did not stop because of this, but became more arrogant, and even tried to force the woman to submit through violent means.
In this incident, the attitude of the passengers and attendants of the subway also caused controversy. Although the woman argued, most of the passengers chose to wait and see, and the flight attendant only symbolically pulled the old man a few times, failing to effectively stop the old man's behavior. This indifference undoubtedly exacerbated the severity of the incident.
This matter quickly spread all over the Internet. Netizens have expressed their opinions. Someone said: "This old man is too unreasonable, how can he treat a young girl like this?" ”
Someone else said: "This girl is too impulsive, she should communicate with the old man." "However, there are also some people who are neutral and feel that both sides are responsible for this.
There is no absolute right or wrong in this matter. It's a virtue to give up your seat, but it's also someone's right not to give up your seat. We can't morally kidnap or physically attack others just because they haven't given up their seats.
In the same way, the elderly should respect the choices and rights of young people. You can't just ask someone to give up your seat just because you're old.
Of course, this incident also reminds us that in public, we should respect the choices and rights of others. Both young and old people should understand and tolerate each other. Only in this way can we jointly create a harmonious, civilized and orderly social environment!
But that's not the end of it! It is said that someone later called the police, and the old man was administratively detained for several days for disturbing public order. This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for him! I hope he can learn a lesson in the future and stop acting irrationally again.
In the midst of busy urban life, the subway
As the "artery" of urban public transport, it carries tens of thousands of passengers every day.
However, in this seemingly ordinary traffic space, a controversy about "giving up seats" is like a pebble thrown into the lake, causing ripples and arousing widespread concern and deep thinking in society.
A shocking scene on Beijing Subway Line 10 was filmed by passengers and uploaded to the Internet, quickly becoming the focus of heated public discussion. An elderly passenger got on the bus and walked straight to a young woman's seat and asked her to give up her seat.
After the woman politely refused on the grounds that she was unwell, the old man took a radical action, not only pointing a cane at the woman, but also trying to threaten her with a police call.
This incident not only sparked a heated public debate on the issue of "giving up seats", but also forced us to re-examine how we balance the rights of individuals with the public morality of society in the public space.
We have to admit that "giving up the seat" as a traditional virtue has a deep historical heritage in our society. Respecting the elderly, caring for the young, and caring for the disadvantaged are the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and they are also the values that each of us should uphold.
On public transportation such as the subway, young people take the initiative to give up their seats to the elderly, pregnant women, disabled people and other people in need, which is not only a kind of care for them, but also a manifestation of social morality.
However, in this "concession storm", we see another phenomenon. When traditional virtues are in conflict with individual rights, how do we choose?
The young woman's refusal to give up her seat on the grounds of physical discomfort is an insistence on her personal rights and a protection of her own health. The elderly are forced to give up their seats, or even take drastic actions, which is an infringement of the rights of others and a violation of public order.
In this case, we need to be clear that it is a virtue to give up one's seat, but it is also everyone's right not to give one's seat. In public, we should respect everyone's choices and rights, rather than using moral kidnapping to force others to behave in a way that doesn't suit their will.
At the same time, we should also advocate a more rational and peaceful way of communication, so that people can jointly create a harmonious and civilized social environment on the basis of respecting each other.
So, in the face of such controversies and conflicts, how should we resolve them? We need to strengthen education on public ethics so that everyone understands the basic norms and moral norms that should be observed in public.
At the same time, we also need to promote a more inclusive and understanding social atmosphere, so that people can maintain a calm and rational attitude when facing different perspectives and behaviors.
We can learn from some advanced practices and experiences, such as setting up "love seats" and other measures, to provide more convenient services for passengers in need. At the same time, the metro company can also strengthen security measures and patrols to stop and deal with uncivilized behaviors in a timely manner to ensure the safety and comfort of passengers.
We also need to recognize that everyone's actions and choices are influenced by a variety of factors, such as their own values and life experiences. Therefore, when evaluating the behavior of others, we should maintain an objective and impartial attitude, and avoid excessive interpretation and subjective assumptions.
At the same time, we should also learn to empathize, understand the situation and feelings of others, and face different voices and opinions with a more tolerant and understanding attitude.
In this "concession storm", we have seen the collision and fusion of traditional virtues and modern values. Let us learn from this controversy, reflect on our own behavior, improve our personal qualities, and work together to create a more harmonious and civilized social environment.
On the basis of respecting each other, let us jointly inherit and carry forward the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation and contribute to building a better society.
