Tang Jun can be said to be both a beneficiary and a victim of this "success-only theory".
Said he was the beneficiary. Isn't it? If you talk about the amount of wealth, Tang Jun is only a senior wage earner at most. Why did he appear in those days? Why? Because society needs Tang Jun, we need him to tell us a story about a knowledge hero. Different from other "successful people", Tang Jun realized this social demand and hit it off with the trend. When many people just enjoy the results of "success", Tang Jun has clearly realized how enviable ordinary students' desire for "success" is; How the superstition of "success" intoxicated entrepreneurs. Just like running a brand, he has been running himself for more than ten years through publishing, visiting, giving speeches and even counterfeiting. Through "brand operation", gradually add yellow robes, exchange "small success" for "big success", and finally cash in real money.
Said he was the victim. It's because if this society didn't put forward the harsh requirement of "no success, only more success" for Tang Jun, a professional manager wouldn't ignore the most basic quality as a person while pursuing success, so that the giant Goliath in the Bible was easily pushed to the corner of the boxing ring and only bounced up by the small slingshot of "diploma", just like an inflatable doll.
From this perspective, we question Tang Jun, not just him. We are also questioning the superstition of "success" for many years. Tang Jun's "educational background" deserves our reflection. When we define "having enough wealth and status is success", have we ignored the weakness of this "success-only theory"? Do you realize that a person's success can and should have more possibilities? Excessive exaggeration of "wealth success" will oppress or even destroy the existence space of other social values.
In fact, whether it is admitted or not, "success-only theory" has ruled China for many years. Even toddlers may be set on the track of success by their parents: the poor-studying abroad-double doctors-are rolling in wealth, just like Dr. Tang's track. Our education, marriage, career, everything, are all wrapped in this huge "success" wing. There are also things that seem to have nothing to do with "success": caring about society, cherishing emotions, pursuing individuality ... being squeezed smaller and smaller, just like described in the TV series "Dwelling House". As a result, now we all just want to sit in a crowded BMW, even though our faces are covered with tears.
The "education gate" incident is just a small commotion, because the "success" in reality is becoming more and more overbearing, and the value space of "unsuccessful" is getting smaller and smaller.
Although the commotion on paper is weak, it is a portrayal of our inner struggle after all.
Tang Jun's "education gate" incident has caused a lot of social humor, and online "resume correction" is one of them. It has been reported by the media that during the two days from July 7th to July 8th, 20 10, nearly 100 celebrities' resumes were revised-their previous academic qualifications were quietly deleted, and the number is still increasing.
Some people say that these celebrities suddenly wake up and understand that fame and fortune are small and shame is big, so their conscience finds out and returns to "sincerity." The person who said this is very kind and always good at discovering the warmth and light in the depths of human nature. However, I'm afraid the reality is not so beautiful. I really don't see any touching moral consciousness behind this collective "resume correction" except the pressure of public opinion and the fear of being "caught" in the future.
Whatever the reason, we are still happy to see the result of "CV Correction". The persistent pursuit of independent investigators and the continuous attention of online public opinion finally made those who cheated the world and stole their reputation "tell the truth", which can't be said to be an unexpected joy.
First, although some people shout "flaws don't cover up Yu" and regard success as a fig leaf of honesty, honesty, as a social moral ideal, will not completely fall down. I am afraid that no one in this society dares to hold high the banner of "I am dishonest" and spread it all over the world. Even if you are honest in front of rouge powder, you will put an extra layer on your face when necessary. Don't successful people in shopping malls, officialdom and academia like to say "honesty first" when talking about their own success?
Second, perfect social supervision can improve the self-purification ability of society. In addition to the above-mentioned "resume correction", the "education gate" incident also rarely triggered the education correction of senior executives of listed companies. On the night of July 9, 2065438+00, Mengniu Dairy, a listed company, issued a clarification announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, saying that its executive director Ding Sheng only studied business administration at Nankai University and did not get a degree in business administration. In the previous 2009 annual report, Ding Sheng was described as a graduate of Nankai University with a master's degree in business administration. According to the law, listed companies are not allowed to publish false information. Whether an executive has a "degree" can not only involve face issues, but also involve legal responsibilities.
Honesty is the foundation of a person. Honest people may not be successful, but successful people must be honest. This truth, which has been proved for thousands of years, cannot be erased by secular utilitarianism. The reason why the word "false" prevails in today's society is because there is something wrong with the self-purification system of Gai society-a society with opaque information, poor channels for people to express themselves and lack of a perfect supervision system, just like the human immune system, cannot naturally resist the invasion of viruses. Therefore, study leave, business leave and official leave, like cancer, breed and spread, eroding the body of society.
No matter what the outcome of the "education gate" incident is, the social discussion about the value of honesty triggered by it is the most absurd mark of our time. The value of honesty does not need to be discussed, but the root of social honesty crisis. Only in this way can we redeem ourselves and get out of the strange circle of "counterfeiting".
