A Snitch is Not a Whistleblower

A Snitch is Not a Whistleblower

Sometimes we have the myth of blowing the whistle and constantly advocating for similar behaviors to that. In fact, we might have ignored the motives behind this scenario.

Some individuals use “whistle-blowing” to achieve a certain goal, and this kind of behavior or whistle-blowing with some evil intentions should be the last thing that should exist. It makes people feel that life has really returned to a predatory society where they do not trust each other, watch out for each other, and take advantage of each other. There is no civility at all. If a person is accustomed to informing others to frame people's faults, he has become a prisoner of his will of hunting other people. Even though he does things that slander other people’s reputations, he does not feel guilty. In most cases, “snitches” do not face a major public crisis, nor do they face harm. “Snitches” are mostly in the name of justice to show favor to higher-level powers and make profits. Under this circumstance, it is difficult for people to distinguish between good and evil, or to identify with the authenticity of interpersonal communication.

Whistleblowing, however, is an action that prevents public interests to be harmed in a fraudulent atmosphere. Hence, it is awkwardly uncommon for teenagers or commoners to face that situation. I would hypothesize that a number of “snitches” or in other words,  “blowing the whistle” were from a personal intention.

Before leaking an end-to-end personal message, an individual ought to reflect that how much public interests could be yielded after this leakage? If he finds his message not so significant, that snitching behavior might not be protected due to his banality of evil. And, after all, it is common sense.
