Tue, 3 July 2007 You have to do it right, but I don't have to. Howard Gardner, author of Five Minds for the Future, in an interview on the television show Books of Our Time with host Lawrence R. Velvel (visit his blog at www.velvelonnationalaffairs.com) Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law, discussed the hypocrisy exhibited by today's leaders. Howard Gardner suggests, the older [individuals] established in a position of power, the greater the penalties should be for unethical behavior. Howard Gardner continues with the idea that today there is not set standard for determining a penalty for these individuals. Rather, they receive assurance from the world that they did nothing wrong. In this interesting interview, Howard Gardner raises an intriguing question: what is society showing if it does not make one take responsibility for their actions and the presence of feeble penalties for unacceptable behavior?
