This incident quickly caused heated discussions and heated discussions among the public, and many people expressed their opinions and opinions on it.
Funeral is a sad event, and the condolences and companionship of family and friends are especially important at such times. Some families will set up a banquet during the funeral to entertain relatives and friends who come to pay their respects, hoping to bring each other closer to each other in a sad atmosphere. Just when people were expressing their understanding and sympathy, Ms. Chen encountered unexpected troubles and disputes.
1. The funeral banquet was fined 5,000 yuan
1. What happened
It is understood that Ms. Chen's father unfortunately passed away on July 12, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow and test for Ms. Chen. Faced with the grief of the death of a loved one, Ms. Chen's heart is full of sadness and helplessness, as the elder of the family, she must deal with every detail of her father's funeral.
Traditionally, it has become a custom to set up a banquet at a funeral to entertain relatives and friends who come to pay their respects, and Ms. Chen hopes that in this way, more people can understand and mourn her father. During her father's funeral, Ms. Chan set up two tables of banquets at her home and sincerely invited relatives and friends to come and offer her condolences.
Just when Ms. Chen thought everything was going well, a staff member from the funeral home filed a fine with her, saying that she had violated the village rules and regulations by setting up a banquet during the funeral, and that she needed to pay a fine of 5,000 yuan to the relevant departments.
In the face of this sudden fine notice, Ms. Chen felt very aggrieved and helpless, she thought that she just wanted to shorten the distance between relatives and friends in a sad moment, and did not violate any regulations at all, why was she treated like this?
2. The reason behind the fine
In response to this matter, the staff from the funeral home said that in fact, the 5,000 yuan is not the so-called fine, but the deposit that needs to be paid when handling the funeral, but the amount of this deposit is relatively large.
The reason why there is such a margin regulation is mainly to guide and encourage everyone to choose a simple way to deal with funerals, reduce some unnecessary luxury and waste, so as to better practice the concept of conservation and environmental protection.
In the face of such an explanation, Ms. Chen still said that she could not accept it, she felt that everything she did was not wrong, why should she be innocently blamed and punished because of the subjective assumptions of others?
2. The relationship between village rules and the law
1. Formulation of village rules and conventions
From this incident, it is not difficult for us to find that many disputes and contradictions originate from some provisions and constraints of the village rules and conventions.
The so-called village rules and conventions refer to some management regulations and agreements formulated by the villagers' congress or villagers' committee in the village according to the actual situation and needs, and their purpose is to better safeguard the common interests of the villagers and promote the harmonious and stable development of the village.
With the continuous progress and development of society, some traditional village rules and conventions can no longer meet the development needs of modern society, and even some unreasonable and discriminatory regulations have appeared, which have brought trouble and harm to some people.
2. The relationship between village rules and the law
When dealing with similar contradictions and disputes, how should we view the relationship between village rules and conventions and the law?
We must clearly understand that the village rules and conventions are not laws, and their binding force and scope of application are lower than those of laws and regulations, and in some cases that conflict with the law, the village rules and conventions should be limited and constrained by the law.
In the process of formulating and implementing village rules and agreements, it is necessary to fully respect and protect the legitimate rights and interests of villagers, enhance their awareness of participation and their right to know, and ensure that all regulations are fair and reasonable, and can be understood and supported by the majority of villagers.
3. How to deal with similar incidents
1. Balance between law and human feelings
How should we deal with similar incidents of being fined for funeral banquets?
We should fully respect and understand the traditional funeral culture and customs, which includes not only condolences and companionship for the grieving family, but also support and cooperation for the funeral policy.
We should also be aware that there are indeed certain conflicts and contradictions between the law and human feelings, and what we need to do is to find a balance in such conflicts, formulate more humane and socialized policies and regulations, and better combine traditional culture and modern concepts to provide better services and guarantees for everyone.
2. Fair and impartial law enforcement
In the specific process of law enforcement, the relevant departments must also be fair and just, and cannot arbitrarily treat the actions and choices of others, let alone punish and restrict others based on subjective assumptions.
Only under the premise of openness and transparency can we better safeguard the public interests of society, enhance the public's trust and support for law enforcement, and better resolve all kinds of contradictions and disputes, so as to promote the harmonious and stable development of society.
epilogue
Funeral is a very sad thing, and at such a time, the condolences and companionship of family and friends are particularly important.
When dealing with similar incidents, we should give sufficient understanding and support to the parties concerned, and should also find the most suitable solution for everyone through open and transparent discussion and communication, so as to truly be people-oriented, uphold fairness and justice, and jointly protect the warmth and harmony of society.
It is also hoped that the relevant departments can pay attention to the timely revision and improvement of the village rules and regulations, so as to ensure that they can better meet the development needs of modern society and truly become a beneficial system and force for maintaining social harmony.
I also hope that everyone can pay more attention to and understand the various things happening around them in life, have the courage to speak out and express their views, participate in social governance and construction, and make their own contributions to building a beautiful and harmonious society.
