| The so-called right to speak refers to the right that the citizens throw out suggestions and express their views on national affairs, social affairs and social phenomena that they concern by media or other legal various ways. It is also a reflection of expression and participation right. Literally, it is the unity of right and discourse. The discourse needs rights to escort while the implementation of the rights needs discourse to reflect. As a right of the citizens, the right to speak is the main guarantee of freedom of expression and provides conditions for the realization of other fundamental rights. From the government officials to the common people, all of them have their own right to speak. It exists as a kind of soft power. However, the implementation of the right to speak can exert practical influence which not every person can achieve. People who have kept their promises must be able to speak and be wise. Therefore, the realization of the right to speak must have two elements. One is to grasp enough scarce resources, such as values and political power which can affect the community; the other is social energy and social impact that can be used for the relevant scarce resources. Western philosophers Tacitus said: "When you can feel that you are willing to feel something, you are able to say something, this is a very happy moment." And the happiness is the right that a harmonious country’s citizens enjoy. The American scholar Feith said: "The state should use public resources, so that farmers can enjoy the same right to speak with other social groups and avoid the emergence of silence in the enjoyment of freedom of expression."With the popularization of national fitness campaign, people’s awareness of fitness has generally improved. Among numerous fitness programs, the square dance with its unique charm has won the majority of the fond in older age groups, but also triggered a series of disputes. In recent years, the media reports about the "square dance dispute" or "square dance disturbing" are numerous and various. And relevant evaluations about them have something in common. What worse is that this trend may halt square dance. The negative impact is that it not only restricts against the group fitness participation in the initiative, but also seriously affects their social reputation, forming "old stigma" effect, such as "the bad guys get old" or "the old get bad". And other comments in the media rumors uproar. Therefore, the dispute triggered by the square dance event has risen to serious social problems and should cause widespread concern of relevant scholars. As a typical representative of the national response to the call of fitness, square dance is noticeable to protect people’s health. But facing the social media’s crusade and condemnation, both the government and square dance fitness group are "quiet" as having got "aphasia", except for the blind concession and forbear. While it is true that there is some square dancers who presume on their seniority and have no respect for the old, breaking the bottom line of morality or the law, but most exercise inadvertence. In China, although the constitution gives the citizens sports right, there are no relevant laws and regulations to deal with the problem that residents violate the rights of others in the process of sport. The principal contradiction of square dance disputes is the friction between the right of fitness and rest. Therefore, when disputes arise, relevant departments could not be processed according to the law and the dancers can only be silent facing the vocal opposition of other people, the police’s complaint. They have neither capital nor awareness of maintaining legal rights, so the right to speak will be particularly extravagant in them. Therefore, viewing from the square dance dispute, the author attends to study the forms of PE vulnerable groups’ lack of the right to speak, guide their right to speak to return, in order to guarantee citizens’ sports right to be implemented.The thesis uses literature material method, logical reasoning method and expert interviews method. Based on the brief sketch of “square dance dispute”, “the underprivileged group” and "discourse right", the author analyses the importance of the right to speak and the forms of the lack of sports vulnerable people’s discourse right. The research suggests that the lack of physical inferior group’s right to speak is mainly in the absence of the subject, object, media, effective message and feedback of discourse right. The reason includes the physical inferior group’ own limitations, the vacancy of government departments, social and cultural constraints, the media services adding fuel to the dispute, sports cultural inter-generational conflict. For these five constraints, the article offers four proposals so as to guide the return of sports vulnerable groups’ right to speak, respectively including the raise of consciousness of the rights of vulnerable groups, the guide of national policy, the standardization of media services, the improvement of media literacy. |
