一位60岁的华人大妈由于在纽约的一个公园制造噪音而被拘捕,当地人抱怨这位老大妈带领的跳舞群体扰乱了那里的平静生活。在中国情况往往是相反的,“法不责众”是中国人根深蒂固的思想。维护少数人的权益比迎合多数人的需求更艰难。本期杂志将讨论维护少数人权益的重要性。的确有必要让人们意识到,在做事情时顾及别人的感受十分重要。
A 60-year-old Chinese woman was arrested for making too much noise in a New York park, after people complained that the dance group she was leading was disturbing the peace. In this case the minority won. In accordance with the logic of those who consider it a cultural habit for Chinese people to talk at the top of their lungs. So it is clear that the protection of the rights and interests of the minority is much more difficult, and therefore important, than catering to the needs of the majority.
“法不责众”、“少数服从多数”是中国人的传统思想。然而在某些事情上,大多数人的选择真的是正确不可反驳的吗?比如说公共场合大声说话、中国式过马路和近几年流行起来的广场舞,这些活动对那些想享受一下宁静时光来阅读、休息的人来说是极大的干扰。那么这时哪一方的权益该得到维护才是问题的所在。本期杂志意在为少数人申辩。维护少数人的权益比迎合多数人的需求更艰难,所以也更重要。
