COULD WE USE A LITTLE MORE SHAMING IN OUR LIVES? Weve talked - TopicsExpress

COULD WE USE A LITTLE MORE SHAMING IN OUR LIVES? Weve talked quite a bit this year about all kinds of shaming in which we shouldnt engage. But is there a good kind of shaming? Could we use a little more shaming in our lives? If yes, for what kinds of things should we shame one another for the greater good? Please keep comments civil and friendly. TIA. :) scr __________ History shows that in cases when the law or public consensus has rendered an act reprehensible, society has contrived an impressive array of shaming devices - the dunce cap, the pillory, ducking chairs to plunge the guilty into rivers and ponds and tarring and feathering. The idea, of course, is to not only punish the culprits but also to deter other potential wrongdoers from following suit. What would be appropriate for CEOs who pinch the wages of their employees while earning hundreds of times more than the lowest paid among them? A scarlet G for “greed” sewn to their lapels? Don’t laugh: Some judges have been known to get creative with sentencing when the ordinary route of punishment doesn’t seem to work. A Los Angeles Times op-ed noted that a judge in La Habra, California, ordered a slumlord to live in his own rundown building under house arrest for two months, and a Cleveland judge sentenced a man who had bullied a neighbor and her handicapped children to stand on the side of the highway carrying a sign describing his crimes. Perhaps a judge equipped with the latest CEO pay disclosures could sentence some corporate titan found guilty of stealing wages to live on the salary of his lowest-paid employee for a time. There is something rather satisfying about ideas like that...
