UNIZIK Undergraduate Incident: Stop the Shaming, Start the Reflection

Source: http://taiwoakinlamiblog.com

We often rush to condemn individuals instead of questioning the systems that shaped them. The recent UNIZIK undergraduate incident has sparked outrage, but are we asking the right questions?

At the heart of the Power Parenting ideology is this truth: We are all parents. Every one of us, educators, mentors, neighbors, media, policymakers, plays a role in shaping young people. Raising a child is not solely the responsibility of biological parents; society itself is a parent.

✅ We must blame attitudes and actions, not people.
✅ We must correct behavior without destroying individuals.
✅ We must hold people accountable with justice, not public shaming.

While we stand in solidarity with the allegedly attacked lecturer, who has been widely described as a perfect gentleman, we must also recognize that this is not just about one student’s mistake, it’s about a system that produces young people capable of such alleged actions. If we don’t fix the root causes, history will continue to repeat itself.

📖 In my latest article, I explore:
🔹 Why public shaming does not reform society
🔹 How toxic power dynamics in academia contribute to this issue
🔹 The Icelandic model of discipline and why we must adopt a proactive approach

🎯 Justice must be tempered with mercy. We must build a society where discipline is a culture, not just a reactionary tool. If this were our own child, would we handle it differently?

💬 Let’s have an honest conversation. Do you believe public shaming corrects behavior or deepens the problem? Share your thoughts in the comments! ⬇️
