Honor System - Criticism of The Concept

Criticism of The Concept

Deciding whether or not to obey an honor system can be a dilemma, especially if one places his or her personal financial self-interest above the interest of the institution he or she is patronizing, without thinking the future negative impact toward his or her personal financial self-interest. Honor systems are often criticized for promoting laziness and bad behavior. Some have suggested it is paradoxical to ask people to obey a law if there is no apparent law. See also Gregory S. Kavka's toxin puzzle, discussing the paradoxical nature of "rewarding intent."

Famous quotes containing the words criticism and/or concept:

    It is from the womb of art that criticism was born.
    Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

    I was thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we can just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we got something here.
    Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins)
