ISSUE93 个人责任是一种虚构。大家看看怎么样?
***19. The concept of 'individual responsibility' is a necessary fiction. Although societies must hold individuals accountable for their own actions, people's behavior is largely determined by forces not of their own making.【93】
个人责任的概念是一种很必要的虚构。尽管社会必须让个人对他们自己的行为负责,但是人们的行为很大程度上不是自己能够左右的。
+
1,人们的个人责任感是在参与社会活动中逐步建立和体现出来的,个人是行为的主体,可以在一定程度上左右自己的行为。
2,但是,社会责任是人群的个人责任感的集合,个人要体现自己的个人责任,个人行为就要 受到社会责任的约束。
3,因此,在社会责任的框架内,个人的行为由自己支配的空间的确很小。
"Ask yourself what you can do for America, but not what America can do for you.” with this famous assertion given by the great American president Roosevelt, we naturally concentrate our minds to the concept of "individual responsibility", according to the speaker, it is more a fiction than a real responsibility although this kind of fiction is necessary. I fundamentally agree with the speaker, in the following paragraphs, I will give my case-by-case analyses.
The individual responsibility is gradually formed and embodied in the process that a person participates in social activities. Form this point we can easily see that the individual, however weak his or her power is , plays a central role in the social activities, as the society is a general set of countless individuals. A case in point is the story of Martin Luther King, Jr. As an individual, he has little power compared to the society as a whole, as well as his individual responsibility, and this comparison is even great in consideration to his color. However, Martin Luther King fulfilled his individual responsibility by joining the black people together to fight against racialism in America. At last he sacrificed his life for his mission. This example potently illustrates that the individual responsibility is of central importance in the society, even the power that one individual has is small and weak; he can also fulfill his responsibility by his own endeavor.
Nevertheless, individual responsibility is called, as a fiction is not a groundless claim due to several aspects. As stated in the second paragraph, the society is a set of countless individuals, and as a result the individual power is diluted in the mass. The activities that one needs to fulfill his individual responsibility to his family, company and the society as a whole are not always under his control. What’s more, sometimes the effort that an individual gave to accomplish his responsibility maybe made in vain by the society itself. The great Chinese philosopher Han fei, who held his responsibility to use his theory to thrive his motherland, the country that is called Han, was denied by the government again and again. However, when he realized that there was no way he could fulfill his responsibility to his country, he decided to give his theory to another powerful country, whose king was ambitious and open-minded. The tragedy is, though the king welcomed him, he was envied by the king's fellows, who killed him before he put his theory into piracies in that country. Disappointed I am, I realized why this responsibility is called as a fiction, and the reason is quite clear to see with the help of Han fei 's story, that is individual impotency and uncertainty.
In conclusion, in balance of the individual power and impotency, this fiction is necessary while sometimes hard to realize. While we admit and cheer for individual power, we must confess that this power can not easily be obviously useful to the society as a whole. Thus, it is better to hold our individual responsibilities while at the same time admit it is only a fiction, however necessary it may be.
