Negative Social Consequences
Negative social consequences arise to those behaving immorally toward others.
Because they are less severe, each person is entirely free to determine for themselves exactly what conduct qualifies for a social consequence. As such, social consequences are a form of non-judicial remedy; no due process is required.
Examples of non-judicial remedies:
- Ostracism
- Opportunity costs from others choosing to disassociate with you
- Praising and rewarding those who, in contrast, do act decently.
Positive Social Consequences
Positive social consequences naturally stem from acting like an excellent human being.
Such positive consequences include the likelihood that others wish to reciprocate the kindness they enjoyed from you.
Beneficial consequences include:
- Greater opportunities
- Stronger relationships
- Peace and happiness
