Its complex but you should try and separate your idea of “shame” from the concept of “consequence”.
People can change behavior to avoid consequence. Shame is a response to violations of morality. They're really quite distinct.
- inglor_cz 4y ago"Its complex but you should try and separate your idea of “shame” from the concept of “consequence”" Quite a lot of people are lately invested into the opposite, confusing those two, perhaps deliberately so. For example, any suggestion that it may be unsafe to walk around totally drunk at night will be met with accusations of "blaming the victim", especially if the crime is rape, plus with (unhelpful) suggestions "you men need stop raping, I don't need to alter my behavior" - as if the perps were present in the discussion and inclined to take such suggestions. Walking around totally drunk is unsafe for everybody, not least because all those self-inflicted injuries, but some people will deliberately try to silence such an idea.
