Suy tư: FIGHTING FOR GOOD AND EVIL

How do you think about the idea that it is necessary to realize the distinction between good and evil, which are based on moral models of contemporary society? Recently, Vietnam has experienced some negative phenomena that have affected children and young people of Vietnam: Apathy, Educational Violence, and Arrogance. 


+ Apathy: Remind the sad story, which happened at An Khanh Village, Hanoi, Vietnam, that two boys slipped into the lake and called for S.O.S., while their friend, another boy, still stood at the lake shore and hummed a nonsensical song. What is the issue here? Blaming the apathetic attitude of the boy? Education!!! Social skills and Life skills are most significant in that they enable individuals to distinguish between "real" and "fake" contexts.

+ Educational Violence: A scandal in recent days is the clip, which was recorded of a grade 7 student (studying at a high school in Hanoi, Vietnam) pulling his teacher's hair and committing acts of violence. Netizens are buzzing before the principal's explanation: "The student pulls the teacher's hand as a normal behavior of other students." Digging deeper into the problem, there is no need to discuss the morality of the issue (the law will address it), but rather to reconsider the educational aims: humanistic and intellectual education. Both are equally and extremely important.

+ Arrogance: "Know who my father is?" is a popular slang phrase of young groups in Vietnamese society. The catalepsy of this phrase refers to the adverse reaction of someone who wants to dominate or control a situation, show their family status, or social status, despite acknowledging their own faults. However, they often receive criticism from many people in society due to being perceived as arrogant.

....

Without concluding the above problems, what we need to focus on is how Christians can contribute to fight for a holy life. 

What can we do, Christians? Hospitality; Humanistic and Intellectual Education; Humility...
