This article severely criticizes the phenomenon where people use smartphones to secretly film others in public and upload the footage to the internet, labeling it as 'cheap justice' and 'perverted' behavior. The author notes that while the law doesn't prohibit filming non-private parts in public, secret filmer's lack basic respect for others and are merely seeking internet 'likes' to satisfy superficial desires. He argues that the real solution to a problem is to actually help or intervene, rather than standing by and recording, and emphasizes that this cold behavior of secret filming is a root cause of societal indifference.

Viewing Taiwanese Hypocrisy through the ISIS Massacre in France: Distance and Empathy toward Tragedy

This article explores the phenomenon where some Taiwanese were criticized as hypocritical for using French flag profile picture overlays to express mourning after the Paris terrorist attacks. The author rebuts this, explaining that the stronger reaction to the Paris attacks stems from Paris symbolizing a sanctuary of freedom, democracy, and peace, and that ISIS's actions constituted an act of war.
