If violations of any of a society's explicit rules routinely go unpunished, then that society's people will be left without moral guidance. ███████ ██████ ███ ████ █████ ████████ ████ ███ ██ ████ █████████ █████ █████ ████████ █████ █ ███████ █████ █████ ██ █████ ███ ██ ███ ████████ █████ ██ ██ ██████ ████ █████████
The author concludes that a society should never allow any of its explicit rules to be broken without punishment. This is based on the fact that if violation of a society’s explicit rules ROUTINELY go unpunished, the people in society will be left without moral guidance, which ultimately leads chaos.
The author overlooks the possibility that allowing rules to SOMETIMES go unpunished doesn’t necessarily have the negative effects of allowing rules to ROUTINELY go unpunished. Routine non-punishments means regularly letting violations go unpunished. Chaos results if that happens. But chaos might not result if you just left a few violations go unpunished, without letting the nonpunishment become routine.
