REGGIO EMILIA by Howard Gardner

“My favorite examples of an ethical community is a small city called Reggio Emilia in northern Italy. Aside from providing high-quality services and cultural benefits to its citizens, the city provides excellent infant and toddler centers and preschools.

Children feel cared for by the community. So when they grow up, they return this regard by caring for others. They become good workers and good citizens. The tone has already been set at such a high level that one rarely encounters compromised—that ism qualitatively or ethically sullied—work.

And in such cases, the ethical action taken by the community is to ostracize the compromised worker (in effect, not by law) so he does not undermine community mores. This stance works as long as everyone sees that everyone wins.”
