Nevertheless, people tend to respect those who stick to the vision of right and wrong, that is shared by the vast majority of the group. If someone tends to violate those principles, he or she deserves criticism or even punishment. On the other hand, a person who knows, understands and accepts the rules of the game, deserves respect and ...
