I really appreciate it...how have you been btw?<br /><br />KillRoy and Humble narcissist: I actually beg to differ taht teh caucasian or the western model may actually help...it's actually not true because there were so many cases in which they didn't help as highlighted by my videos and many others...it's a psychological effect that makes many not care... It's actually worse of in a western country because they are individualistic "every man for himself" rather than collectivist which emphasizes social harmony more.this post is meant to create awareness that people out there should know about this and actually mobilize themselves to help in the future.<br /><br />Elaine: I am glad you would help :) But talking about human nature, I would say that it's the psychologcial effect coming into play to diffuse responsibility to others and seeing that no one is helping, they think it's not that important as well.... we humans basically rely on others to actually act..but good on you for deciding to take action.Mei Szehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131940304931036999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841660072110017255.post-90783563743265889122011-10-24T20:45:41.728-07:002011-10-24T20:45:41.728-07:00Human personality differs like thumbprint,unlike s...Human personality differs like thumbprint,unlike superhero movies.

Though they do have the societal view of “Society before One”, any form of recognition is generally not very welcome, an example is the saying “Tall poppies must be cut”. The humility factor plays a part as well, such as:<br /><br />Chinaman A: Great job!<br />Chinaman B: Eh, “bu gan bu gan” (i dont dare to take credit)<br />Scenes like these are all too familiar in Asiatic movies.<br /><br />Now the otherside of the coin, the Caucasian model (for the lack of a better name), highly values individuality and heroism. I guess this model in this case is better because intra-family members can be viewed as individuals, therefore, one can perceive a girl lying bleeding on the streets as an individual, whether or not they are their family members, <br /><br />where else Society at large, cannot be regarded as one within one’s household (China is a big country lol) A girl lying on the street bleeding cannot be seen as “family”, but as one belonging to the set of “society”, therefore societal rules apply.<br /><br />Heroism: Caucasian (American?) trends value this, and is deemed to be shameful for one not to step up to aid or sacrifice in times of need (jumping on a grenade for example), which was how the whole news story gets blown up in the first place.<br /><br />American A: Good job!<br />American B: I did what I could. <br /><br />or in some cases may share the recognition with others<br /><br />American B: Thanks, but American C helped too!<br /><br />Scenes like these are also common in American movies.<br /><br />That is if cinema reflects the cultural norms or behaviour of any given society during the time the film was made.<br /><br />I digress.<br /><br />Inhumane or human nature?<br /><br />Inhumane, hard to argue otherwise. Seeing a fellow man (or girl) staring down the face of death yet not lifting a finger to help.<br /><br />The question is not “or” but rather “how much” of human nature. If the nurture of our nature is built from societal pressure and coaching, then the nurture is against “human nature” -Since we have largely evolved to be a communal species.<br /><br />BUT the line of ‘species’ have been drawn again and again, cut to size by other cultural norms such as religion, creed, race, or in this case, social acceptance.Humble Narcissisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740893871100583312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841660072110017255.post-8242168906475016482011-10-24T03:52:43.816-07:002011-10-24T03:52:43.816-07:00First and foremost, I must ask what level of a dis...First and foremost, I must ask what level of a discussion you intend to spur here? Is it reserved for experts or learned academics in the field of psychology, or relegated to the common person to just voice their opinions?<br /><br />If it is the former, disregard anything Im going to say lol. If its the latter then I would like to participate, based on my pseudo-academic and objective observation of human behaviour -if that counts :P<br /><br />Oh well, here goes nothing...<br /><br />Remembered that time when we spoke about cultural values?<br /><br />With regards to placing emphasis on predominantly Asiatic model of micro nucleus-family-based camaraderie (say it fast 10 times lol) <br /><br />-versus-<br /><br />The predominantly Caucasian model of macro community-societal based courtesy, on which one was better for the development of healthy psychology as a whole?<br /><br />Well, this Yue Yue incident happened in China (Asiatic model), as the video shows, the mother (intra-nucli family) was absolutely devastated by the event yet the passerbys (extra-nucli) seemed impartial or dispassionate.<br /><br />Im not expressively stating whether one model is superior in every way to the other, but in this context and for the interest of this discussion, the Caucasian model MIGHT have prevented the girl’s death.<br /><br />Aside from the circumstances raised in the comments above, about the legal precedent set by a previous judge (that helping implies guilt), because since much emphasis has been given to intra-nucli ties, anything that resides outside of it is given 2nd hand attention, or none at all.KilllRoynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841660072110017255.post-55595689865650122772011-10-23T19:39:44.340-07:002011-10-23T19:39:44.340-07:00These 18 passer-bys actually choose to ignore her,...These 18 passer-bys actually choose to ignore her, coz part of it is due to another case in China. An old man was injured in the middle of the street, and a kind hearted stranger helped the old man and sent him to hospital. What happen was the old man and his family accused the kind hearted stranger for the caused of the old man's injury and he needed to pay a certain amount to them. Referring to this article(http://micgadget.com/16675/2-years-old-girl-got-rolled-over-by-vans-ignored-by-18-bystanders-video/), the first van’s driver contacted the media before turned himself to the police, and said:<br />“If she is dead, I may pay only about 20,000 yuan ($3,125). But if she is injured, it may cost me hundreds of thousands yuan.”<br />Since that case, everyone in China is on the 'none of my business' term to say. Its really sad that this is happening to the world.Choi May, Wongnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3841660072110017255.post-32544007887241392272011-10-23T19:38:11.570-07:002011-10-23T19:38:11.570-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.MayOliciOushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10955800989762608542noreply@blogger.com
