There are many injustices in society. Who is going to stand out to fight against the injustices if we don’t want to stand with them? Charlifestyle Dec 27, 2020·3 min read

I have spent two years studying in Nottingham. When I first arrived in Nottingham, I have already heard that it is the birthplace of Robin Hood. I didn’t know much about this hero until watching this movie and know what he had done for the people.

After four years in the war away from England and failed to prevent his commander from being executed. Robin was being sent back to Nottingham. When Robin returned to Nottingham, he found that he was officially dead for two years and his lover Marianne has met another guy.

Robin discovered that the commoners are planning to rise against the government that oppresses and exploits them. Therefore Robin decided to cooperate with his saver John to work to end the war by stealing the money taken from people to fund the church’s conflict.

With improved archery and combat skills to stealing the riches and return back to the people, Robin was nicknamed “Hood”. For the people, “Hood” is a hero but no one knows his true identity and ever sees his face as he was disguised. However, for the governors and the rich people, “Hood” is a pain. Therefore, they wish to find out who is “Hood” as soon as possible.

When Hood found out that the war is a ploy of Church, he figured that he has to stop it immediately. Under the situation that being chased by the governor, Hood has a full planning in revenge to fight against the governor. However, he needs support from Marianne. Therefore, he had to reveal the true identity to her.

With the help of Marianne and John, Robin destroyed the plan of the governor successfully. He stole all the money from the governor to share it with the people. Finally, Nottingham had a hero that is willing to stand against the government to protect people’s welfare. Even there is another corrupted governor appear in the city, Robin Hood would not let this appear in Nottingham again.

In every society, there would be much injustice between the rich people and the poor people. With the low social status in society, people don’t have their rights to stand against injustice from the government. Even they can speak out for themselves, their opinions are being eliminated by successors. As this is the norm for the whole world, successors lead the world, dominate the world and only their rights would be respected.

Though in the 21st century, most countries have their own democracy, people could elect their own leader. Indeed, does this leader can represent all the people? Or is he or she just another muppet of the rich people and concern about their rights only? Will there be a leader that would stand for the lower class people and turn back all the policies from previous leaders?

It might be hard to find a leader that is omnipotent and willing to stand from the perspective of the poor just like Robin Hood. Some leaders may even encourage corruption to exist in society. It is really unfair for most people that have worked hard. Yet if you can’t stand with the injustice phenomenon, why don’t you be the hero like Robin Hood and unite with others to fight against the system you don’t like?
