Legal Literacy - Justice in this country is like a white swan in a palace pond: beautiful but not easy to grasp. The law can be bought, powerful people get away with it, and the common people suffer. Education is unfair, the gap is wide, social justice? Still a dream!
White Swan in a Palace Pond
Justice is like a graceful white swan swimming in a palace pond. It looks beautiful and charming, but it is not easy to approach. Behind its beauty, justice holds a bitter reality that often disappoints us.
Mirage in the Middle of the Desert
In this country, justice often feels like a mirage in the middle of the desert. Case after case shows that the law can still be bought with money, and powerful people often escape legal consequences with ease. Meanwhile, ordinary people have to swallow the bitter pill of injustice, because they do not have the same access to the law.
Real Examples of Injustice
For example, the rampant corruption cases in this country. Corruptors who have stolen people's money at will often escape punishment or receive light sentences. On the other hand, ordinary people who steal flip-flops to make ends meet can be punished with imprisonment.
Justice is not just about law, but also about equality and balance. Social justice, for example, is still a dream for many. The gap between rich and poor is still wide, and access to education, health, and employment is still uneven.
Uneven Education
Look at how children from poor families have to struggle to get a decent education, while children from wealthy families can easily get the best education at elite schools.
Small Steps Towards Justice
However, that doesn't mean we have to get stuck in pessimism. There are still many people who are fighting to realize justice in this country. We must continue to voice injustice and encourage change. We must continue to hold fast to noble ideals, even though the reality is often bitter.
Some small steps we can take:
1. Becoming a Defender of Truth
Be a defender of truth and dare to fight injustice. We don't always have to take to the streets to demonstrate. We can start with small things, such as reprimanding people who litter or reporting acts of corruption that we see.
2. Supporting Victims of Injustice
Refuse to be silent when you see others being treated unfairly. When you see others being treated unfairly, don't be silent. We can voice our support for the victims and help them get justice.
3. Supporting the Justice Movement
Support organizations and movements that fight for justice in this country. There are many organizations and movements that fight for justice in this country. We can support them by volunteering, donating funds, or spreading information about their activities.
4. Being a Role Model
Be an example in everyday life by upholding the values of justice. We can start with ourselves by being fair to others, not discriminating against others based on social status, religion, race, or ethnicity.
Justice is a long journey, and we are still at the beginning of that journey. However, with determination and cooperation, we can realize this noble ideal.
Let us work together to build a fair and prosperous country for all.
