#8 Critical Incident
A man in his early twenties was walking home from school one day when he
passed by a small group of girls of junior high school age. The girls laughed at
him, and he felt very upset and disrespected. If he had been at home, he would
have disciplined them right there in the street and then taken them home to their
fathers and the fathers would have supported him. He knew that he couldn’t do
that here.

This critical situation is related to cultural orientation. Because it inevitably

involves a certain transformation of past traditions, taking into account the
achieved level of culture, as well as modern conditions. That is, in this situation,
young girls were not used to seeing a 20-year-old guy walking from school.

The situation is this, a 20 year old guy was going home from school. Then I
couldn’t understand whether the guy works at school or is he still studying. And
when he walked past the girls who are in primary school, they began to laugh at
him. The man began to feel upset, and thought that these girls did not respect him.
And at this time he thought, as I understood, if he had been at home, that is, had
not gone to school, he would have taught these girls a lesson. He would have told
their behavior to the girls' fathers so that they supported the man, and explained to
them about the behaviors.

In this case, if you look from the side of a man, he should tell the girls what
he thinks and explain to them that their act was wrong. But the man said nothing. It
is not right. After all, these girls did not respect him. Given his age. If this
happened in our country, then such an act was not on the part of the girls. Because
in our country, since childhood, children are taught to respect older people, even if
he is 2 years older. Especially men. I think in this situation, a man should go to
their fathers, talk about their actions. So that this does not happen in the future. But
first, he should talk to the girls. After that, if they do not understand and ask for
forgiveness, then it is worth going to their fathers.

If you look at the situation from the side of the girls, they didn’t do it right.
Because they ignored his human right. That is, these girls have no right to discuss
someone, and laugh at him, and not respect him. In our country, it would be
accepted that their family raised their daughters incorrectly. Because all over the
world, including our country, it is very sensitive to the attitude of men on the part
of women.

I would apologize to the man in the place of the girls. Even if it concerns a
gender stereotype, you need to have respect for other people. Do not hurt their
feelings for the sake of their fun.

I want to add or clarify the situation with gender stereotypes. Of course,

stereotypes make life easier - it is easy to rely on them in the absence of their own
knowledge and opinion and unwillingness to enrich themselves with new
information. But, in my opinion, simplicity here is a very dubious merit.
Stereotypes often distort our perception of reality and as a result lead to an
incorrect conclusion about a person. With this method of perception, we look at
others as if from a distance, through the prism of ready-made sets of characteristics
generated by an average, philistine opinion, and thereby deprive ourselves of the
opportunity to build our own judgment. The roots of gender stereotypes underlie
the traditional distribution of roles in the family. It so happened historically that a
man should be a strong, courageous, decisive worker who will not leave his family
hungry, and a woman a feminine, economic, and caring mother.

I think in our years there is no need to adhere to gender stereotypes.

Because, each person differently accepts this stereotype. That is, because of this,
violence against the female happens. It is not right. I think you need to treat
everyone the same way, setting the law uniform for everyone. Not forgetting
humanity.
