Naming and Shaming
1) I don't think humiliation is a good way to punish people. In schools we don't humiliate children any longer when they misbehave. We shouldn't do it to adults either.
2) The punishment for the drunk driver is not enough. It's a clever idea, but this man should also be spending a substantial time in prison.
3) I think the punishment for shoplifting is far too lenient. A few weeks in prison would be much more effective.
4) These types of punishment are a step back towards the middle ages. Surely civilisation has progressed since then. What will these people want next? Public hangings?
Read the above 4 statements and decide if you agree or disagree with them. Discuss your answers in a group.
