RE: Why The Chinese Don't Want Democracy
very interesting video, some very valid points. Sadly i think all aspects of any kind of control will always be open to corruption. It all comes down to what you said - education. But can we educate as to teach people to love and respect one another? If we can then we can build trust in a government to do its own thing. I couldn't imagine anything worse than if America had that kind of power over its people. Great video, i love getting a different perspctive.
The corruption is a reminder of how little responsibility people want to take. Its an inherent consequence of relying too much on authority instead of utilizing your own individual power due to fear.
America isnt like this because americans are better educated in taking action and speaking up when you see something wrong happening. The same is true in Canada. As children, we were always taught to stand up for what is right and speak up to injustice we witness. In China, people are told to avoid conflict and confrontation because it disrupts harmony and makes people lose face. Both have consequences.
