What a Shame
Manage episode 390994100 series 3541400
In a (somewhat) recent article, Ben Peterson suggests that
- Order is necessary for a flourishing society.
- Order is generally achieved through informal norms or through formal law and enforcement.
- In the US, norms previously provided order, this transitioned to law and enforcement, but now we are shifting away from formal enforcement without the informal norms.
In this episode of Choosing Better, we explore the roles of shame and honor in society, discuss how these might best be implemented, and in what contexts they may be desirable or not.
