" If we want people to respond to requests (or even demands) for positive change, we must make such requests in a way that honors the dignity of those being challenged while nevertheless raising awareness of the problems they've caused and holding them accountable for those problems. Of course, some people in some situations respond to being shamed by making positive change. However, it is likely that such a response is in spite of, rather than because of, having being shamed.
