Let me speak first to parents. You are
the ones who plant, or fail to plant, the seeds of character in your children.
Try from the beginning to put into your children's minds the capacity to feel
shame by letting them know that, just as there are actions for which they can
win praise, so there are others — lying, cheating, stealing — that are
unacceptable and for which they will be punished. As parents,
you are not alone in your efforts to form character. Organizations such as the
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts teach accountability and strengthen it with pressure
of equals. Churches are also strong helpers. I remember clearly
an event from my childhood. In our church's Sunday-school playroom was a set of
little lead cowboys and Indians. One day, I took one of them home, and that
night my brother saw me playing with it. "I know where you got that," he said.
"You stole it from the church." Stole it! From the church! Those
words hit me like a thunderbolt. The anger of God, my mother's anger, the scorn
of the, world rose up like a terrifying wave in my mind. I ran a mile and a half
to return the figure and all the way back home, where my mother put me to bed
with a couple of beats for “cattin “ around"(到处乱跑着寻乐). I never told her why I
had left the house; I was too ashamed. Shame led straight to accountability, and
I never again took any- thing that Wasn't mine. What about
teachers? To them I'd say: your classroom is a small society. Don't excuse bad
behavior, Get students to impose standards upon one another, and work to
persuade the school administration to become firmer about discipline.
I've heard of high schools where the first time a student is caught with
drugs, he's warned; the second time, he may be kept from school temporarily; the
third, possibly driven away. To the principals of such schools 1 would say, "Why
not suspend students the first time?" And l would quote a religious leader's
words: "Punish severely the first offender, for in him lies the greatest hope of
reform." Finally, a wise teacher might tell a high-school class:
"If you choose to play with drugs, the police may never catch you. But your body
is responsible to the laws of chemistry and biology." What about
law enforcement? If I could say just one thing to the designers of that system,
it would be: restore fair, swift, sure punishment as one of the' key supporters
of accountability. There is nothing Unreasonable about just punishment, but
you'd never know it from watching our law carried out today. Criminals don't
fear the law, because in most cases its punishment is so slow and weakened that
any preventing effect is lost.
