Get organized, do whatever we can, based on certain proirities(our common inte
Nobody is perfect, not to say Jewish as a whole group of people.
Although our traditions always tried to erect HERO (typically unselfish) as general public's model to follow, that is not an objective approach. Chairman Mao was not always right. Did Mr. Zhu Rongji satisfy every Chinese?
The real dilema for our Chinese is hard to find an HERO. So when we live in an era without real HERO or erected HERO, we somehow don't know how to gain our common interests.
Western democratic countires found another way around for general public common interests --- DEMOCRACY. The citizens have the chance to elect their representive for their common interests. Everybody understands the representive cannot be perfect. But if the representive (LEADER) is too powerful, he/she might abuse the power which was given by people but in his control. For this, the democratic system has at least 2 ways to restrain the superpower from abusing his power. One is the Separation of powers, (namely Chief 、 Justice 、 Legislation Three government agencies to exist, equality and the political system of checks and balances.), the other is that the LEADER can only be in power for certain terms.
The trick here for the common interests is: the mechanism doesnot garrantee the perfect representive (which I believe is an impossilbe mission), but it does help to find the BEST one for their common interests. And there is always opportunities to make corrections if the leader is really bad. BTW, even if we can pick one perfect guy as our representive, how can we make sure we can have one for all the time?
Jewish people are not perfect. But I do think that they do have sth that we can learn from and make use of for our common interests.
One thing is that they know how to make use of societies resources, the other, for sure, is that they unite pretty well, which makes it possible for them to fight for their common interests.
However, if they really incurs a lot of complains from the community they live in, that is not good anyway. But if they become too powerful, in control of the key social resources, what can the local society do?
Hopefully, we can delve into our merits, combined with good things we learn from other ethic groups, to make our contribution to local community of Canada, then we will be able to have better image in the western society, and live a better life. |
