As I was searching for some "The Guardian" relevant and recent news, which had something to do with America and its "importance" as a global nation, I came up with this article; "Humiliation- the latest weapon in America's war on crime".
This article is about a women who was sentenced to spend two consecutive Saturdays standing outside a shopping plaza wearing a sandwich board sign displaying "I am a thief. I stole from Wal-Mart".
As the article alleges, this is one example of America's increasing confidence on the use of humiliation to reprimand wrongdoing actions.
This idea that such old-fashioned punishments are innovative, and that also can work as an act of classical conditional, can only be seen in a modern society where the use of wealth is not well-proportionate.
"The most unpleasant thing about this form of punishment is the way it makes the public complicit. (...) Shame, (...) stare, to pass comment (...)" is what causes humilitian.
Maybe we need to find out a way to humiliate US current president because of all the stolen properties, lives, houses, entired families, sons & daughters, freedom and good sense.
Humilition would be just a beginning of a punishment, but maybe for a start he should be the one standing in front of Wal-Mart with a board saying "I made up all this nonsense called terrorism fight war because I am a thief. I stole oil and richeness from countries in consistent development".
