【Politics】journal- political reponsibility


WEB: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8429596.stm


It seems that being a prime minister in developed countries is harder than in low-developing ones, because the leaders in advanced nations are usually requested to be a high-mortal and self-responsible people. This phenomenon also appears in Taiwan and Japan. In the case of Yukio Hatoyama, Japanese prime minister, who is asked to make self-examination and fall out of the job due to funding scandal. Even though has clarified his own position, Yukio Hatoyama is still under condemn because any little confusion or equivocation in his announcement will arise people’s resentment. Besides, he must bear all the responsibility in case leading to ill fame to his political party.


In comparison, many celebrities in Taiwan can shirk away their responsibility with other powerful personage’s support or sensationalizing news. Since the background of mass media keep fabricating unverified news, people nowadays are accustomed to escaping duty of saying any uncertain words and criticisms. This trend affects the political word, many politicians enforce their duty or announcement without considering the following consequence.

According to the former comparison, we can see the difference between Taiwan and Japan. I prefer to the condition in Japan rather than in Taiwan; though the Japanese celebrities are forced to be more responsible on everything, at least the whole political phenomenon is positive and responsible.
