如果每个人都能紧跟引致最终决策的讨论(无论亲自在场,还是通过录音和电子邮件),公平正义就更可能得到实现。每个人都要对自己的观点负责,任何人都能就谁应该做什么(根据公认的原则)给予意见。如果没有这样的公开程序,决策就会由那些有权任意行事的决策人闭门形成。在保持透明的情况下,每个人都会被同样的高标准要求。 When everyone can follow the discussion leading up to a decision—either in real time in person or via taped records and email threads—justice is more likely to prevail. Everyone is held accountable for their thinking and anyone can weigh in on who should do what according to shared principles. Absent such a transparent process, decisions would be settled behind closed doors by those who have the power to do whatever they want. With transparency, everyone is held to the same high standards.
