I watched a movie…I forgot the title but it was about HIV/AIDS. That movie tells us the origin of an issue of AIDS in the U.S society in the early 1980s. Behind the AIDS issue, there were discrimination, corruptions, and the lust for fame. The film successfully depict the facts which we know and the covereded-facts which we could not know.

A feeling always hits me when I watch this kind of documentary films. How so many people care only their profits!! What makes those people to do so? What is right and what is wrong? What is justice? “They”, by themselves, make it superficial.

But at the same time, I cannot help feeling our ignorance that we, in general, still trust the media and the government depite being decieved so many times.
I believe that the structure and quality of media and the government would never be changed as long as people do not realize.

Now, the public separated from the government too far away. Attenuation of social relationship makes people to being dependent. The publi is individualized, and such individualization makes us to care only about selves. At that point, the public becomes a mere facade. The public becomes nothing, but just an inorganic component of the nation.

I assume that, for such a situation, theoretical or other academic and methodological approaches and solutions would not work effectively because this kind of ethical issues has something to do with people’s essential inner weakness and cunning.

We are looking for “something” breaks our fundamental darkness. But I believe thatpeople inherently possese “something” in each of ourselves.
