- monopoly of perspective
-
when there is a group of people in a community (religious? political? religio-political?) with just enough mass and authority, there seems to be a tendency for certain values and perspectives to be pushed to the community. someone with a humanity background may explain this better than i do, but in my view, the reason for this phenomenon may be the group's effort to spread good will (which is fine), prooving their own believes to the community and to themselves (which is sad), or just because the community let them.
of course anyone with faith (to God, to money, to power) will strongly defend what they believe in. however, that almost-blind faith often makes them fail to see other believes in the community. believes that they shoauld respect instead of supress and dish, especially when Bhinneka Tunggal Ika is beared by their national symbol.
