I did not see how you would deal with wrong doing, however; which was my question. I didn't realize that was the thrust of your question since it wasn't prominent in the sentence. I don't have any new ways to deal with wrong doing. Society has lots of sticks at its disposal--everything from the justice system to social shunning. Each societal subunit like workplaces, schools, states, professional societies might take the three principal wrongs and probably define them in more detail as is appropriate for their environment. Schools might have rules about hitting under number 1, cheating under number 2, name calling under number 3, etc. Neighbors would operate less formally directly from the original 2. Where there are written rules there likely would be written penalties. Where there are not, affected parties would need to monitor the behavior of themselves and those with whom they interact. Some gurus would probably write books on how best to handle this situation and that. Ann Landers and Oprah would do a booming business advising on appropriate interventions and penalties. I'm sure there would be people to advise you about how to handle that breach of trust you mentioned yesterday. Karen
