Nowadays, something has gone terribly wrong with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of【C1】______ . A key ingredient is being 【C2】______ , and I think I know what it is: accountability.
Accountability isn’t hard to【C3】______ . It means that every person is responsible 【C4】______ his or her actions and【C5】______ for their consequences. Of the many values that hold civilization 【C6】______ - honesty, kindness, generosity, decency—accountability may be the most important of all. 【C7】______ it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law-and 【C8】______ , no society.
My job 【C9】______ a police officer is to impose accountability 【C10】______ people who refuse, or have never learned. But as every cop knows, external controls on people’s 【C11】______ are far less effective than 【C12】______ restrains such as guilt, shame and embarrassment. Yet more and more, especially in our large cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are 【C13】______ .
The main cause of this breakdown is a radical 【C14】______ in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was 【C15】______ , society was considered the victim. Now, in a stunning reversal, it’s the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringing; by the school that didn’t teach him to read, by the church failed to reach him with moral 【C16】______ , by the parents who didn’t provide a【C17】______ home.
I don’t believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage【C18】______ criminal activities. If we exempt the criminal even partly,【C19】______ accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.
We in America 【C20】______ need more and more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it. [br] 【C8】
