A bus crashed into the river in Wanzhou, a riverside city. At first, people thought it was just an ordinary traffic accident, but in the end, it was found that a female passenger who missed a stop had a fight with the driver, which killed a bus passenger.
When this absurd gap between "missing a stop" and "missing a lifetime" appears before us, we have to ask: Why?
Some people tend to think that the bus crash into the river is only an accidental case and should not be interpreted excessively. But "any suicide is a social event", and some cases are actually the result of social problems. After the incident detonated the network, people discovered that cases of making trouble on buses and competing with bus drivers for the steering wheel abound.
The popularity of "tangled strategy" shows that, to a certain extent, there are certain factors in our society that urge these people to choose this dangerous way to deal with and solve problems in specific situations. Some people explain this incident from the perspectives of indifferent bystanders and impulsive drivers, but more people point to "rule awareness".
Over the years, there have been many cases of "suicide" because of unruly rules. Most of the results summarized by people call on everyone to abide by the rules, but what we should think more about is why we lack the awareness of the rules.
Therefore, further, the lack of rule awareness is only the superficial cause of Wanzhou bus incident, and the fundamental reason is those factors that affect people's rule awareness, that is, the rules behind the rule awareness.
The number one obstacle affecting the awareness of rules is the individualization tendency of rules-only obey the rules when they are beneficial to you and ignore them when they are unfavorable to you. It should be pointed out that the purpose of these rules is to promote the public interest. Even though obeying certain rules may be bad for you in some cases, it will promote the overall interests of the public in the long run.
It is precisely because of the publicity of the rules that we demand that the contents of the rules be fair, and we cannot always let some people suffer and others benefit. The rules must be neutral and should not take sides in content. If it is said that the result of a certain person or group obeying the rules is always unfavorable to themselves, then such rules will inevitably not be observed, and we cannot force people to establish a "rule consciousness" for such rules.
Sometimes the content of the rules is fair, but the people who implement the rules are biased and slack. Criminal law has a basic law, and the effect of punishment lies not in the severity of punishment, but in the inevitability of punishment. This is true of any rule.
Rules can only be effective if they are trustworthy. When the rules are broken and the law enforcers don't deal with them, people can only resort to "private relief"; Or law enforcers are involved in the handling, but it is unfair. If people don't follow the rules, people will no longer follow the rules.
Brandeis, a famous judge, once said, "An orderly society cannot be maintained only by people's fear and silence about punishment". The ultimate goal of rules is not to punish, nor to scare and shock people. If this is the purpose of rules, then the rules will be distorted, the awareness of rules will not be established, and the society will not be "orderly".
Rules are used to make sense. It is through the formulation, implementation and observance of rules that the truth stated in the rules becomes a part of our daily life and a basic norm that people consciously follow in their behavior and thinking. Only in this way can the awareness of rules be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. As a social metaphor, Wanzhou bus can never deviate and reach the destination smoothly.
