Sometimes doing
the right things will not give you the best result, as human is the only
creature that has emotional intelligence, should we always be ethical even if it
brings about consequences? In the reading Whistleblower
by Amy Block Joy, a senior teacher was met with the corruption in the
education system. The story envelopes how justice is being served in the
country despite the backlash from the school officials, an Irony in an academic
institute where people should learn how to do the “right” things. As I read the
other reading: Ethics and “Breaking Bad”:
Developing and practicing ethical skills which also written by the same author,
I realized that people who are scared to act will lose the war. Undoubtedly,
people from my country lost the war before it even started. Living as an Asian
is to live with the “bystander” culture, where being different is discouraged and
everyone tries to lower down their head doing what is best for themselves. As a
result, people with Asian bringing’s tend to not speak for their rights and
just live with it. Asian Americans always think that if they do their job
properly and follow the rules they should earn their rights, yet unfortunately
the world is not as perfect as it seems. Without speaking up, Asian Americans
will always receive unequal opportunities since we are the “obedient” one;
While most Asians are stronger mentally, how long do we still want to be abused?
Question:
How do we learn to speak up and do
the right thing?
