Dear Lawmakers, Dangerous
To Our Democracy
Is The Banality Of Evil
In The Workplace
By Luis Ángel Pérez, (writing4light)
Could You Conform To Commands That Are
Contrary To Widely Shared Moral Sentiments About Hurting People Against Their
Will? Could You Be Induced To Torture Or Even Murder Just By Being Ordered To
Do So?
Why Do People Obey An Authority’s
Unconscionable Commands?
Careful analysis of historical events
and classic social psychology & behavior science experimental research,
across different countries, have long revealed a multitude of social influences
which cause even “ordinary” people to
engage in evil behavior against others in the workplace. One of the most
powerful factors identified is the
implicit & explicit feedback received from superior officers & officers
up the chain of command.
When a greedy prominent person of
authority & influence commands an employee to hurt others, decorates this with
assurances that the employer will be completely absolved from any personal responsibility,
& sprinkles it with assurances that the company itself will, instead, assume
full responsibility – what results is a
bad cell that rapidly flourishes into brazen acts of abuse of power & which
swiftly metastasizes to infect neighboring cells whom together cultivate a
parasitic code of silence that ultimately becomes the firm wall of support &
the critical artery that feeds vitality to the oppression & ailment that
hampers human advancement to the detriment of us all.
Throw in another well identified
powerful social factor known as bribery
and you have what seems to be an iron clad impenetrable diseased culture operating
way below human decency & way above the rational rule of law.
How Can We Effectively Cure & Inoculate
Some of the Most Sacred Institutions to Our Democracy From Such Disease?
How Can We Efficiently & Effectively
Produce a Positive Paradigm Shift Away From Such Irrational Selfish Desires?
Well, if leaders in government are not actually
guilty of false advertisement when they assert that – “No One Is Above The Law” & if they actually honor The
Constitution of the United States of America – “… in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general
welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity …”,
then Lawmakers can & should redeem the integrity of our government
institutions by creating a clear and concise law which will completely reverse this
toxic culture vigorously eating away our democratic values.
Lawmakers Should Create
a Succinct & Explicit Law Which Mandates That …
(A) INDIVIDUALS, [in
addition to the Institution and/or Corporation which employed them], whether
retired or not, can and will be held PERSONALLY
LIABLE, [personally legally
responsible], for their active and/or inactive participation in carrying-out
malicious acts against others & for the damages suffered by victims of such
acts,
- and that -
(B) INDIVIDUALS, [including
Private & Public Attorneys, Public Officials, District Attorneys/Prosecutors,
Court Judges, Court Personnel, and the like], retired or not, whom fail to properly
enforce such law, or in anyway obstructs the enforcement of such law, can and will
be held criminally liable for their malevolent participation.
Dangerous to our Democracy is the gross
exoneration of individuals responsible for the banality of evil especially
within institutions most sacred to our Democracy, [such as the education & justice departments]. Lawmakers have a
grand opportunity to craft legislation to ensure that nefarious actors,
including those found to display judicial & prosecutorial misconduct, can no
longer be empowered & can no longer hide behind greed & the prominent &
influential authoritative donors who groom them with access, bonuses, gifts,
promotions, generous compensatory early retirement packages, & secret
transfers to continue to spread malfeasance throughout humanity.
We Either Stand Together Strong With
Integrity or
Watch Humanity Continue To Decay From
Inter-greedy?
We Can & Must Change
This For The Greater Good.
