The persecuted have bad manners

The persecuted have bad manners

Let us investigate together this phrase and verify its applicability to the peoples of the Third World.

But what are legitimate human rights or what is called (human rights)?

According to religions and customs, there are human rights approved by the United Nations and they fall into the following items.

 1- A person has the right to adequate housing.

2- The human right to a suitable job.

 3- The human right to equality and non-discrimination on the basis of religion, race, color, or gender.

4- The human right to education and adequate health services.

5- The human right to the rule of law and equality under its umbrella.

6- The right to freedom of opinion and to express his opinion without this opinion presenting him with any problems.

We are almost certain that if the state provides these rights to its citizens on an equal footing, they will live a decent life, and their transactions will be controlled according to certain moral frameworks, without injustice.

Those societies will progress and prosper.

But what happens to the people who are deprived of these rights, or most of them?

Those oppressed peoples whose rulers control them with repression. It is not permissible for her to express her opinion freely. Nor does it have most of the rights listed above.

 We find that these peoples tend to fiercely antagonize and compete among themselves to get a living. Which generates a feeling of frustration and inferiority among many of them, deteriorating their morals.

And some of them flatter his subordinates until he loses his dignity to reach a higher position through which he can obtain some of the advantages and rights that the state should have provided him.

Corruption, in its various forms, such as bribery, theft, and embezzlement, spreads in those societies to the extent that religions, values, ​​and traditions resulting from them cannot control it.

 Others see in their dealings insolence and inferiority, which is born in them because of the severe pressures they are exposed to as a result of the rulers' persecution of those peoples.

You will find yourself if you sit in a café in any of those countries hearing dirty words and curses among people, as if rudeness and insults have become the norm, and speaking in a decent and respectful manner is not normal.

 And if you are driven by fate and you go to any government department, you will be surprised. And you will find that Ibn Khaldun’s saying “the oppressed have bad manners” is embodied in every step and every bribery of an employee or worker, or a corrupt and arrogant manager.

But what are the causes of bad morals for these people?

1- Repression and enslavement of the people by the rulers and not allowing freedom of opinion, opposing what the ruling class sees in that country.

2- Economic oppression, so to speak. You will find that the peoples of those countries a large proportion of the are below the poverty line, and the money is concentrated in the hands of a small proportion of the people who are the owners of power and influence. The majority of the people are impoverished. Because they cannot hold their rulers accountable for what they spend. The country's resources are wasted on unnecessary things, which increases the rate of poverty and misery.

 3- The facilities are worn out and most basic services are not available, and if they are available, it will be bad and unfair.

You find that it is the upper strata of society who get the best services, and the rest of the people are reached only by crumbs.

 4- The poverty caused by these failed regimes severely puts pressure on people’s morals and their deterioration, and spreads hatred, malice, envy, theft, and bribery. ............... etc.

But is it possible for a state to rise with a people who are materially and intellectually oppressed?

 of course not. Unless circumstances change and there are more just and equitable systems in those countries. This will generate a state of satisfaction, followed by a change and improvement in performance and work, which will increase income and gradually lead to progress and prosperity.

 The bottom line:

Man only owns what his hands have made. It is the oppressed peoples who make their dictatorships.
