Abstract

We live in a guilt-denying society. "No-fault" auto insurance limits the cost of an accident to the paying of bills rather than the assessing of blame. A disillusioned spouse bends the ear of a sympathetic listener as to the problems that the other partner causes within the marriage. The habitually late student explains to his teacher, "But it wasn't my fault!" We live in a society that seems to demand success over failure and rightness over wrongness. Therefore, the tendency is to deny anything that would make us look wrong or in any way inadequate.
