Stabilizing society with role models
Claim:
In any community, injunctions of good behaviour are meaningless unless they are demonstrated in practical life by those proposing and supporting them. The responsible behaviour of those most visible in society will be an example to people of how their rights can be upheld and of what responsibilities they are to fulfil. A law giving people certain rights and specifying certain responsibilities is meaningless unless leaders of goodwill are prepared to model the behaviour necessary for people to experience fulfilment of those rights. People will then respect the law because it is right, not just because it is backed by might. Broader:
