People find appropriate measures to vent their anger whether in the family, work place or at school. Troubled people often find facilitation for their rage in the world to which they are assigned and there is no other underlying “meaning” to the venue in which this troubled person, Cho Seung-Hui, chose to vent his pent-up rage. But three factors stand out in this heinous act; people negating their instinct, political correctness, and “revising” Constitutional laws for modern society.
It is likely that customization led people not to question the authenticity or “odd behavior” of this individual. You see, students at this level of education are questioning and opening their minds to the world around them and the behavior by Cho Seung-Hui would be dismissed more easily with a “live and let live” attitude. It is of note that it is unlikely that Cho would have made it into the working, career world and would not have been able to “fit in”. This was an added pressure that led to the conclusion that it did. “Not fitting in” had a time limit on it and Cho was cognizant enough to realize that fact. This was a contributing factor in the series of events that led to the explosion of rage. It was a now or never scenario in his mind. He was feeling pressure that he would finally have to perform to standards in the world and this was quite impossible for him. He had absolutely no intention of working at a dry cleaners like his family did yet he did not have the life skills necessary to succeed in a world outside of school and develop personal ties that lead to a job, career and family of his own.
Cho had a loving family but they enabled his disability too much in that they would not seek help for this troubled child from the time he was born due to cultural barriers that imply that his problems were a form of weakness. If this came to light, it would reflect on his parents and so his behavior was dismissed. Everyone kept “hoping” he would fit in. But Cho had a life-long mental illness. He was allowed to “slip through” a politically correct society but he was always hanging by a thread. Children should be taught to be vigilant of strangers and others whose behavior does not mesh with the norm. (I realize that this is a slippery slope to be sure). That is not to say that everyone needs to be the same in a free society. What it means is that people need to be sensitive to their “feelings” or intuition that a person is dangerous. People have a responsibility to report it. Students felt this around Cho but no one stepped up to the task of reporting it (although it did finally happen at Virginia Tech with some teachers at a later date in his life). People should trust their intuition more. Sometimes this is the only way that people are guided for what will happen next. Intuition is an ancient device that has protected human beings from harm since the beginning of mankind but it is being negated.
In a society where political correctness has taken over, people are blinded about correct way to live and behave in a complex society. In the past (before political correctness) people were guided through their intuition and civic-mindedness for safety for everyone. These guidelines are being melted away in a “live and let live” culture. For example, the new HIPPA regulations about patient confidentiality and other privacy laws played into this quagmire at Virginia Tech. People were blinded to the threat. Students and teachers did not listen to their intuition and through political correctness thought Cho was someone else’s problem. Due to privacy laws, his level of illness and danger to society was kept private. To follow the politically correct logic that Cho had a right to do whatever he wants, he had a right to privacy and a right to bear arms is to negate the rights for others in a free society. This troubled person’s “rights” created a perfect storm.
“ Political correctness (often abbreviated to PC) is a term used to describe language or behavior which is intended, or said to be intended, to provide a minimum of offense, particularly to racial, cultural, or other identity groups… Those who use the term in a critical fashion often express a concern about the dilution of freedom of speech, intolerance of language, and the avoidance of a discussion of social problems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_correctness } This current generation of students coming out of universities is the most politically correct culture ever seen. This generation will push political correctness to its limit and bring the issues to a head. Eventually in middle to late in life, this generation will determine that political correctness just does not work (after much societal turmoil and upheaval). The conclusion will be that political correctness protects a limited few in sacrifice of the rights for all. As previously stated, by law Cho had a right to an education at any University of which he was qualified to attend, he had a right to bear arms, he had freedom of speech, he had the right to dress however he wanted, he had a right to not “fit in” anywhere, he had a right to privacy of his medical condition, and he had right to be in this country. But these are rights reserved for the citizens of the United States. Tinkering with the Constitution through new laws have led to “adjustments” to what the Constitution was “intended to mean”.
The Constitution of the United States of America was a Divinely Inspired document meant to last throughout the history of the country. This document should not be “tickered with” through political correctness or otherwise. Two “new legislations” about patient right to privacy and the right of non-citizens of the United States to purchase arms had a part in the Virginia Tech Shootings. These adjustments to what the Constitution should mean in a modern society (from a lawmaker’s point of view) should never have been allowed.
Q: What about the families who lost young adults in the crisis?
The sons and daughters of the Virginia Tech shootings are heroes. They were sacrificed on the altar of political correctness by the “new” freedoms afforded by revised Constitutional laws. This is the first Constitutional tragedy in history. On a personal level these young people in the prime of their life will remain in our memory that way; at the height of their optimism, beauty, vitality, love of life, liberty and freedom. And people should celebrate the beauty and importance of their lives in bringing these issues to light. Their contribution to the ideals of freedom will stand for perpetuity. And yes, there is a correlation with the young, vibrant military members who step up to fight for freedom in the prime of their lives. They should be afforded the same honor as the others. All of these young people are American Heroes.
