Are we addicted to punishment? | Elisa Bors | TEDxFrancisHollandSchoolSloaneSquare
TEDx Talks· 2025-09-30 15:15
Core Argument - The presentation posits that society is becoming addicted to punishment as a means of emotional regulation and control, often prioritizing suffering over rehabilitation [2][3][5][6] - It argues that this reliance on punishment stems from learned behaviors and institutional practices, particularly evident in the justice system's approach to issues like addiction [7][8][9][10][11] - The presentation advocates for a shift towards restorative justice, emphasizing reintegration, understanding, and healing rather than retribution, citing Norway's justice system as a successful example [13][14][15][16][17] Psychological and Neurological Aspects - Self-punishment activates brain regions associated with learning and social survival, indicating its evolutionary importance in maintaining social bonds and regulating guilt [4] - Neuroscience suggests that punishing others can activate reward regions in the brain, highlighting the potential for punishment to be used for self-regulation and control [6] - The presentation suggests that individuals, especially those with mental health challenges, may overuse punishment as a coping mechanism for feelings of guilt and shame [5] Societal and Institutional Critique - The presentation criticizes the justice system for often prioritizing punishment over addressing the root causes of issues like addiction, leading to ineffective outcomes [9][10][11] - It argues that cultural and institutional teachings equate suffering with accountability, leading to a focus on making individuals feel worse rather than helping them [11] - The presentation contrasts this approach with Norway's restorative justice system, which focuses on preventing future harm, understanding the causes of harm, and supporting individual change [14][15] Proposed Solutions and Recommendations - The presentation urges individuals to find a balance between justice, accountability, and understanding, practicing self-compassion and treating others with empathy [18] - It suggests implementing a restorative justice approach that prioritizes restoring dignity and understanding pain over simply removing it [17] - The presentation implies that a societal shift towards empathy and understanding can lead to a change in the way society functions, starting with individual actions [18] Comparative Analysis - The presentation highlights Norway's justice system, which has a recidivism rate of around 20%, as a model for restorative justice [15] - It contrasts this with countries like the US, which have a recidivism rate of around 70%, suggesting the effectiveness of Norway's approach [15] - Norway's system focuses on reintegration, providing inmates with education, work training, therapy, and respect, treating them as citizens in crisis rather than offenders [13][14][16]

[Music] I wonder if everyone in this room can tell that I am pregnant. You see, for me, this is evidence that love bloomed from a covenant. caught not just in the fires of passion but in sacred promises.Grant me the privilege to a significant part of creation where every swell, every flutter, every kick is a reminder of the wondrous miracle of life. A two-sided coin which I will now flip just so I can walk the shoes of the girl who's scared to death, whose heart is twisted in pain. Scared to death of what h ...
