Officious of the British

Text/West Nan

British seems to be loved "the meddler". For example, almost in daily life will encounter one of the example is "the door". Say for example, several people after a previous into a large shopping center of the door, one pushed open the door, they went after Pai Tau, would have been against the door with their hands until the second man came in to help a third gantry sth And so on. Note that I say here is a random encounter with a stranger too!

Then I gradually found, seems to be not only the British are doing "good" when "the meddler", even "Wicked" it is also called when a volunteered.

Some time ago to see the exhibition with his friends, entering the Hall immediately after being attracted by the works of various new, look around, and found "no photo" slogan, and we were kept two picked up the camera. After a while in front of us a looks like a college student United Kingdom girl came up and a serious face said to us: "you sure can take pictures here? "I hesitate to answer:" just watched, the slogan does not seem not to take pictures here. "Girl and a hint of a sentence:" such occasions typically do not take pictures of sth "we were immediately realized it was out of respect for artists, so pessimistic away camera sth



Once again is on the subway, two adults who drank micro-drunk in the call to each other, intentionally or not, always hit the side of innocent passengers. Then one United Kingdom young men on the path to propitiate, did not think that apart from anything else the drunk "bang" at that propitiate a blow on the face is on! I and my friends have completely petrochemical, successive United Kingdom passengers before unexpectedly have to persuade sth Finally we take wine drunk estimation for crazy like a Fox consciously boring, it says out of the car to the next station.

There are similar examples, will not repeat them. Go into this small things, you will find a deep-rooted United Kingdom culture.

If you're in the United Kingdom before the demonstration was a general election campaign propaganda between the parties, you will find no matter how far is the difference in policy between the party, it is the same symbol--ironclad will stress that their party's policies "more fair and just" of the United Kingdom. Readily through a United Kingdom files sent by the Ministry of the Interior, may also see the bottom of the stationery line of small print legible: "build a safe, just and tolerant society. "So if the" fair "in the minds of the British position is equivalent to the Chinese" cherishing "and" reciprocity "such as culture, I think is not too much.

Formation includes not only the system of rules and regulations, in any social contract for a class of express "dominant" system, including the Customs and culture of a class of "hidden" System. On the latter, is from trivial reflected in life, and exert imperceptible influence to affect people in the community.

In the United Kingdom, it is in this national pursuit of "fair" background, a respect for other ordinary people, ordinary people and even the Authority became effective. When the "respect" above their people is not limited to, "oversight" social phenomenon will also greatly reduce the unnecessary worries.
