Good question. Honestly, it's a society kind of thing. You know
the saying, monkey see, monkey do. Likewise, people get the
impression that if others litter, they can as well, which is
obviously wrong. This false justification must be removed to create
a more conducive environment for moral eduaction. That's where the
concept of a shame society
comes in. Unfortunately, this is only practiced in 2 countries,
Japan and South Korea. So, we can see the connection now. Well,
everything is easier said than done... I doubt such a society will
remain sutainable in this globalised world.
Yup, i totally agree with you. The root of the problem lies
in the culture we're raised up in. Honestly I feel super
disturbed when I see people spitting wherver and whenever.
Anti-littering has to be taught from young and parents play a very
important role. Like in school, my principal actually picks up
litter himself (instead of asking us to do it). This actually makes
propels us to follow him and make the environment cleaner and more
conducive. ;)
