Also, government punish a person who uploaded the accident photos or videos on the internet or SNS more severely. They want to receive attention from people by showing sensational thing which could be suffer to victim and their acquaintances. How inhumanity it is. If these wrongs are uncontainable, it can make people get used to these immoral things someday. as video clips of attack or outcast is easy to find. Already many people watch that videos, write an irresponsible comments and click “like” on Facebook, even share to their surrounding people.
Some people can express a doubt that is it really need to punish? Because, they didn’t join in any crime or harm to victim. It is true that they didn’t do something to kill or hurt people. But, it is obvious that they take up someone’s chance to rescued and saved. When exigency was happened, there is not a moment to lose. All people can be helpful in this situation. Government’s steps are not only for punish people but also awaken more mature sense of citizenship.
