Had there not been a school activity that I took part in two months ago, I will never be clearly aware of it and argue about it: it’s time to do micro-, not talk macro-. The activity I took part in two months ago was titled “call for rights of women”, and I was a member of the organizer. Intriguingly, while I was crying out to draw passers-by’s attention and let them write down their names on our banner, which was titled “making efforts to defend women’s rights”, there was a growing anxiety inside my heart: do we really know about what woman’s rights are? Disconcertingly, I began spending time devouring some works relevant to “feminist, feminism”. The period of knowing the history of feminism and its detailed content varied from different times was , to some degree, enlightening me——‘fighting for women’s rights’ is not merely a hollow sentence, a slogan, a line of words you put it into your essay and show how much you know about a woman. The unbiased methon to widely carry forward ‘women’s rights are badly needed’or ‘say goodbye to male people’s dominance over female’or something like that is based on substantial knowledge and social practices. There is also a conclusion can be reached: let’s talk less about something ‘macro’, and do more about something ‘micro’.
To talk something big ,especially for us college students, is sheerly a waste of time and energy. Everybody can talk something big and hollow. When you are sitting in a bus, there will always be an old man nearby talking endlessly about ‘how Japanese break their promise’,’how Shinzo Abe enrages Chinese’. At the same time, the neighbours react no more than siding with the old man, thoughtlessly nodding at him and indignantly burst into dirty words:fuck Japanese! So can anybody proudly say that they have really learned something from this talks, or are we students willing to inherit the spirit of ‘talking like the old man’? The answer is absolutely ‘no’. One and the same, ‘call for women’s rights’, as to our students falling short of social experience and academeic investigation, can hardly make sense. ‘rights of a woman’is such a macro topic that it is hard for us to bear, even thought that day was by luck Mother’s Day. So , why don’t we start from the details, earnest and down-to-earth when doing anything?
We are about to set our foot into society. It is widely accepted that one cannot survive the severe competition in society if he or she talks more, does less. Similarly, a know-all is doomed to be swept out unless he practices from everything micro, steps by steps, rather than giving orations in front of people like‘our macro world can be divided into two parts, one is material world and another is spiritual world, and... the rest of it is bullshit, you know that.
It’s time to do‘micro-‘, not talk‘macro-‘
