Chen Buyun looked at Xu Yaqian, became very serious, and said seriously: "The incident that happened in Weiyang Lake was definitely not accidental, nor was it without reason. On the contrary, it reflected many things that we still feel today.
In my opinion, this is not simply a moral issue. For example, what the Weiyang Lake Water Salvage Company has done, in these days, we have learned about it through various channels
It is no longer simply a moral matter."
"The Weiyang Lake Water Salvage Company has a monopoly on the local body salvage business. And the genes of this monopoly have naturally led to the following behaviors: First, it controls pricing power. The company charges exorbitant prices from the families of those who fell into the water, and there is no room for bargaining.
The prices of other local salvage companies are much lower than the company's prices; the second is to suppress competition, and the company uses various means to restrict other fishermen from salvaging corpses, including bribery, intimidation, smashing and other gangster methods; the third is to ignore the industry
Rules and moral bottom line. The boss of the company said, "We only salvage the dead but not the living" and "We won't salvage the people until the money is in place." However, on the day of the salvage, this person did faithfully practice his business philosophy. The first
After the body of the student who fell into the water was recovered, he refused to continue salvage because the money was not in place. This is even more unreasonable than the behavior of a car repair shop throwing glass on the road. The glass only punctures the tires. Salvaging the body is a serious matter of human ethics."
The more Chen Buyun talked, the more excited he became. He patted the table and said, "I just want to ask, why do some people have such indifference to life and even lack basic humanity? Anyone can blame moral corruption, but simply blame Yu
It doesn’t help. Moral issues are often the surface of deep-seated contradictions in society. To inquire about morality, we need to start from the question itself. In the reporter’s follow-up reports, the key word is monopoly. So what are the sources of this monopoly power? First, political protection or
Political compromise. Secondly, underworld activities are rampant without supervision. Based on the current evidence, we cannot say that there must be someone behind the company, but this possibility cannot be ruled out. Let’s analyze these three behaviors that grew out of monopoly in detail. Thirdly,
The first and second types are normal monopolistic behaviors and are controllable behaviors. In other words, this situation can be changed through social governance. The method of change is not complicated. Just remove the political protection behind it and crack down on underworld behaviors.
The third type of behavior is the perversion of monopoly, which is uncontrollable. Even in areas without monopoly, this kind of behavior is common. It is just because of monopoly, this kind of behavior that ignores industry rules and crosses the moral bottom line is even more outrageous."
Having said this, Chen Buyun slowed down, looked at Xu Yaqian and said seriously: "Through the above analysis, I think the crux of this incident has basically been found, but people may not be satisfied yet, and still want to ask, this kind of disregard for life,
The loss of humanity is not limited to this case. The key point of the problem is here. People can tolerate your exorbitant prices and can be accustomed to you attacking competitors, but they cannot tolerate behaviors that violate human ethics and transcend morality. In fact, this is a
For a more complex proposition, some people attribute it to the evils of capital and the overall moral decline of society. The evidence is Marx's famous saying, "As long as it has 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even risk hanging."
"Danger". Although there are problems in the moral environment, we should see that such problems occur in an immature market and under an imperfect system. Each of the imperfect small environments constitutes a problematic environment.
Only by solving the problems in the small environment first can we solve the overall problem in the big environment. Take this incident as an example. If we crack down on monopolies and eliminate possible underworlds, then such things will definitely not happen again in the future.
