People feel sorry about the death of the Roh Moo-hyun, expressed admiration for his practice, largely by others, glass, poured himself pine,
Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun suicide shocked the world, but also to the Chinese, other Asian cultural circle endless emotion: Despite the Roh Moo-hyun to anti-corruption, anti-nepotism fighter image of power, because of corruption, nepotism suspects were all destroyed themselves, cause for regret. But the apology he eventually died, this heavy sense of honor, the courage to dare to take quite a lot of people feel sorry and admire.
People feel sorry about the death of the Roh Moo-hyun, expressed admiration for his practice, largely by others, glass, poured himself pine.
Corruption, nepotism, not the South Korean official of the unique “native.” In many parts of China, many sectors, as there are many evils and problems of similar officials. And Roh Moo-hyun “shamed” the courage to take responsibility with a bloody and life is different is that some “domestic corrupt” in every possible way to cover up the truth has not been brought to light when, or even pretend to talk about anti-corruption; clues began to surface in the occasion of every means to deny , and even blamed on the report were to retaliate against; became public after or in exile, to those “corrupt Paradise” whole family to enjoy the rich, or pretend to “Dan responsibility”, and then quietly back in the limelight after the past, still official.
The same corruption, nepotism issues, Korea’s Roh Moo-hyun Psalm of responsibility in the end, China has more of these shameless, false sense of shame for corrupt officials, which is no wonder that people would envy, respect for the late issue of a foreign officials.
As many South Korean political commentator pointed out, the officialdom of the “sense of shame culture” to a large extent from the traditional oriental culture in China in the deeper sediment should. However, many corrupt officials in the face of contemporary, traditional Ye Hao, maxim worth mentioning, have become a barrel on the broken windows of paper. The so-called “sense of shame culture”, or simply be thrown aside, or become a fig leaf to cover up its continued corruption.
Roh does not start this “sense of shame”: He has denied his family’s problems, and offered to the journalists asked Dadongganhuo, his “Fans” and even besieged “Jieduan” media, but the South Korean judiciary, the executive branch does not to the move, continue to pursue, and finally mastered his family, corruption and some hard evidence, while public opinion, public pressure, should always play a role.
In Taiwan, a number of obvious misdeeds of corrupt officials, have been repeatedly exposed, it can throw, “against all odds,” an official stable. Obviously a number of corrupt officials became public, has been “accountability” but unharmed after the fact, remote official. And for their supervision, reporting remained stagnant. Corruption is too easy, too tough anti-corruption is bound to make “sense of shame culture” is hard to achieve, because the “shameless” risks and “outrageous” than income, it is not worth mentioning.
Life is precious, I do not advocate suicide to follow Roh Moo-hyun; corruption is shameful, I do not think the foreign corrupt officials, it really is more lovely than the domestic. I had hoped, is equally at home official “sense of shame culture”, but to do this, people need to call, but need structure, supervision and guarantee the rule of law.
Shame culture pushed to the cliff and Roh Moo-hyun
Former South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun jumping death shocked the whole world.
Roh Moo-hyun’s suicide and his family against him mainly due to the anti-corruption investigation, it is an indisputable fact. May be controversial, his suicide was due to shame or to protect his family or to escape punishment? Research shows that 80% of suicide is a purpose, such as reducing the burden of others, away from pain, to escape responsibility. But I think that President Roh’s suicide and the Confucian tradition shame culture is directly related to his suicide, only to escape a sense of shame caused him mental anguish.
From an objective fact, South Korea Roh Moo-hyun is by far the least amount of suspicion of accepting bribes president, but the amount of 6,000,000 U.S. dollars, and not its individual handling, may even be unaware of their own. Even if the trial can also be and his predecessor, Chun Doo Hwan and Roh Tae-woo are the same as amnesty. As for the suicide to reduce the burden to others, also obviously impossible. Since early April this year, President Roh had admitted his wife in 2007, received Entrepreneur Park Yeon-100 million. Roh Moo-hyun’s nephew son has admitted receiving from the Office Park Yeon-five million U.S. dollars. Roh Moo-hyun’s suicide help free himself, but will not help free families.
Roh brief suicide note from the point of view, is a heavy sense of shame has become the last straw that breaks the camel. “Benefit from a lot of people and allows a lot of people suffering because of me, next will also bear endless pain … … do not apologize, and do not complain about who is … … This is the idea brewing for a long time.” This is true, Born poor in the Roh Moo-hyun, has been “clean politics” as its mission, and therefore became a symbol of high value. Bribery events not only destroyed its sterling reputation, but also implicate a number of family members.
Asian traditional Confucian culture, and less from the perspective of democratic supervision and restriction to tame the power, and more emphasis is virtue, stressing that “Saint and Emperor” morality, “the poor are an exception, up to then chief economic world” ideal and shame, is this pursuit of spiritual support. This pursuit of perfection, is the pursuit of honor higher than life itself. In fact, according to Maslow’s need theory, people honor and respect the needs of the community can be described as innate, not the value of Confucian culture, the unique circle. Person in their lives, or Yingyinggougou, or busy, or Youzaiyouzai, in addition to the pursuit of freedom, the other nothing but power, wealth, reputation and so on. But power and wealth can not consistently with his life, and, to a certain extent, people are after power and wealth, happiness and success may not be able to gain the feeling of respect from the heart of society, often is the highest human values and the highest level well-being. But on the pursuit of honor and social recognition, not necessarily in into shame culture. Shame culture to achieve and to build on the premise that political openness. Politics more transparent, the higher the degree of public and political figures of moral sense, the stronger sense of shame. If not open, there is no negative evaluation of public opinion and social pressure, morality is likely to be elusive. Most social resources, especially in a monopoly controlled by the Government and the environment, the cost of keeping clean is very high, if not timely openness, but rather “foreign holy stealing” more likely.
Shame culture has always been an objective reality, but we do not have time to discover and explore, and use it to the social progress. That bad things brought to light the suffering of ruin and disillusionment of life, at all times exist. This year in February, Chief Expert, Ministry of Health to Guangzhou Hong Zhaoguang speech, said: disease from the heart, the source of psychological stress are numerous, 76% of the disease, emotional disorders. He cited the example of the short life of corrupt officials: “Corrupt officials may not live long!” The statement has been widely debated, but the first impression that “the short life of corrupt officials,” the conclusions of Dr Martins of Brazil, in 2004, Hangzhou Medical Ge Wei also prove this conclusion. Although doctors are brought to light the sample selected officials, this has been enough to alert those “newcomers”: mighty tide of political openness can not stop, “shame culture,” the punishment of corruption may be the same as with the law weight.
