Early in the morning, weekend mornings always allow people to enjoy a moment of peace after busy work.
Mr. Warren walked to the inbox outside the garden in his nightgown, said hello to the neighbor who was mowing the lawn, then took out the new issue of the newspaper and tucked it under his arm, carrying fresh milk on the green lawn. I chatted a few more times with my neighbor about the stock market before slowly returning to the house.
The wife turned on the player while hugging the pillow, and then inserted the tape that she had seen at least three times into the machine. After the short music ended, those familiar voices appeared in Mr. Warren's ears. He smiled and walked to the dining table in the restaurant to sit down. His wife liked to watch tapes produced by Empire Star, especially those sitcoms. He had also watched them. They were indeed very interesting. I really don’t know how the screenwriter was. To think of these interesting stories and turn them into such sitcoms, it must be someone who is equally interesting in life.
He opened the Imperial City Morning News, and the first page described the vote battle between the new party and the old party in black and bold fonts, but it seemed that the reporter had forgotten that there was also a Kadima Party that was also frantically canvassing for votes. He carefully read every word and picture in the newspaper before turning to the second page.
The second page is basically filled with foreign affairs, such as what scandal broke out at the top of the federation, a certain high-level figure was ruined due to certain things, or there was a drought in a country further away, and how many people had starved to death. Things like that. Before there were further media to let the public know about the latest news from abroad, newspapers were their only window to explore the world.
After reading the second and third pages, Mr. Warren rubbed his eyes. He took a sip of milk, picked up a piece of bread, wiped it on the custard, and ate it bit by bit.
When he turned to the fourth page, he was immediately attracted by the content above - discrimination.
"I don't know since when, there has always been a group of people like this around us."
"They are lazy and rarely see the hard work of these people. It seems that they are always hiding in a corner and giving birth to children, which makes the family's burden even heavier and they can barely make ends meet."
"They are stupid. The literacy rate among these people is generally not good. It can even be said that literate people may only account for one percent of this group, or less. They are unwilling to actively accept knowledge and do not want their children to learn. Knowledge, they may feel that being illiterate is actually quite good, at least they don’t have to spend extra money on sending their children to school.”
"They are disgusting. These people often appear on the side of the street, either standing or squatting. Their green eyes always stay on the wallets of passers-by who reveal their pockets, as if they don't know when they will snatch them. "
"They have all kinds of shortcomings and seem to have become the most useless group of people in the world we live in. If you read this article carefully, then you should understand which people I am talking about!"
Mr. Warren put down the newspaper, looked at the ceiling that was already slightly yellowed by the smoke, and let out a long sigh. Yes, he knew that this article was talking about the Guart people. He didn't even need any reminder. When the article described these shortcomings, his first thought was the Guarts, and he felt ashamed of his thoughts.
Mr. Warren, who is well-educated, has always considered himself a moral and ethical, positive social elite, but just a few lines of this article made him discover a side of himself that he had never discovered before. He actually Discriminate against others, even a certain race. What went wrong? He was lost in thought. He had never subjectively discriminated against anyone, never.
But this article made him realize that he had a kind of contempt for this specific group of people, a discriminatory mentality.
Are all the Guarts what they are described in the newspapers
No, the main military service in the Patriotic War came from the Guartes and the Provincial People. These two ethnic groups contributed a lot in the Patriotic War, including their lives, but why even after doing this, they still Not getting respect from people, but becoming a marginalized person in society
Even in today's peacetime, there are still many Guarts working in important positions, such as police, doctors, and electricians. Their hard work seems to have been habitually ignored by people, so much so that many people may not know what these Guartes do on a daily basis, so they start to criticize them.
He couldn't figure it out, so he picked up the newspaper and continued reading. He wanted to know what caused all this.
This article is written in a very honest way, directly revealing the selfishness and cruelty in human nature. Discrimination against the Guart people is not because the Guart people have some characteristics that will be discriminated against, but because this society needs some People become foils and objects of discrimination, thereby raising the social status of another group of people and the social responsibilities they assume.
Even an incompetent Ogdin can show absolute confidence when talking about the Guarts. This is the spiritual need of the mainstream race in society and a disguised affirmation of self-worth. They need to prove that they are "superior" and that they are not the least useful to the overall society. They need to highlight a group of people who have been labeled as inferior to themselves to highlight their contributions and responsibilities to society. Because there is a group of people who can be criticized anytime and anywhere and have various ideas imposed on them. The public does not need to bear any moral pressure, which makes them even more unscrupulous to add labels to this special group.
This is unfair to the Guart people. They have done a lot for this country but are treated like this. Is this a willful distortion or a loss of morality
One case after another, one incident after another, constantly analyzed an ugly social phenomenon, and made Mr. Warren feel that he should do something.
He couldn't imagine what a terrible life it would be if one day he had tried his best to do his best work, but was scolded by his boss and ridiculed by his colleagues because of his race.
He quickly ate the breakfast on the table, changed a set of clothes, said hello to his wife, and left the house. He wanted to do something.
This article had a great response in society, because most people would immediately associate the Guarts with this press release that did not identify the target at all, so some people kidnapped morality and also People who had been kidnapped by morality stood up and called on society to treat the Guart people rationally.
Because of this article, there were even parades of Guartes in some places, adding something else to the empire during the election.
Some moral and socially responsible social activists stood up and published many of their opinions in newspapers, taking the initiative to stand up for the Guart people. He also criticized some ugly phenomena in society and called on everyone to be good citizens of the empire with morals and correct values.
Dulin threw the newspaper into the trash can. This is the benefit of hiring Nasha as the vice president of Empire Star Media Company. He has deepened his relationship with the George family and published such an article that may have political issues. Another question.
There is no doubt that an article and a donation of funds to various social organizations triggered a social phenomenon. People are talking about the Guarte people, and the Guarte people have become synonymous with disadvantaged groups. At this time, in order to prove that there is no big problem with universal values, to prove that the majority of people have not been eroded by such terrible ideas, and to reflect a positive image of the empire, some examples must be erected to refute certain remarks.
Dulin may not be the highest-status Guart, but he is enough to be a typical example, a politically correct example. Until there is no concrete evidence to prove that Dulin abused his power, no one can launch a public attack on him based on mere speculation, because this is an argument that goes against the trend and will be spurned by "moral people" from all walks of life.
It's like there are several black monsters among a group of white monsters. In order to reflect the principle that everyone is a monster and should unite, some white monsters stand up and tell everyone that in fact, black monsters are also white, but they are just what you observe. The angle is different from ours.
Later, Dulin provided 8,000 jobs to the entire state, allowing more people to side with Dulin. Those social activists believed that Dulin's move showed his three views and his moral character, and was a man who was in line with the general public. An outstanding mayor with worldly values. Especially after Dulin announced the contents of all the agreements and negotiations, people were more willing to believe that Dulin did not betray the interests of the country. This was just a business, a transaction, nothing more.
"Can you find out who is behind this? Without someone else's signal, I believe there would be no such report!" Dulin couldn't help complaining while talking to Mags on the phone, " It's not fair that I got hurt for doing what I was supposed to do, Mr. Maggs."
Mags's voice in the receiver did not rise and fall. He chuckled twice, "We have arranged people to investigate this matter. News should come out soon. In fact, you don't have to worry at all. No matter what the public opinion is, Fluctuations will not change my understanding of you."
Dulin joked: "That sounds like a good thing to say!"
Magus laughed a little louder, "Of course that's a nice thing to say, and I'm complimenting you."
