	Paternalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paternalist attitudes in a family are typically used to restrain children from activities the parents perceive to be dangerous, immoral or otherwise inappropriate.
		One of the most famous examples of paternalistic legislation is the era of Prohibition in the United States, when alcohol was deemed an illegal substance.
		Advocates of paternalistic policies claim that an overarching moral system overrides personal freedom in some circumstances, such as a religious, ethical, or philosophical doctrine, and will argue that while it is not moral to deprive someone of their liberty in a general situation, it is correct in that specific instance.

	Paternalism
		While it is clear that for some to characterize a policy as paternalistic is to condemn or criticize it, that does not establish that the term itself is an evaluative one.
		A weak paternalist believes that it is legitimate to interfere with the means that agents choose to achieve their ends, if those means are likely to defeat those ends.
		A strong paternalist believes that people may be mistaken or confused about their ends and it is legitimate to interfere to prevent them from achieving those ends.

	Paternalism
		By a paternalistic explanation of slavery, I mean one that claims that slaveholders held slaves because they believed it was in the slaves’ best interests, or an explanation that claims that slaves viewed their masters in a manner similar to the way children see their guardians.
		Paternalistic accounts of slavery support the view that slavery was unjust, but that it was not as bad as some people have thought.
		For example, paternalistic interference can be used by some members of society to justify taking unfair advantage of others under the guise that their actions are protecting the unwilling victims from self-inflicted harm.

	The "true" romantic: benevolent sexism and paternalistic chivalry Sex Roles: A Journal of Research - Find Articles
		For example, individuals who endorse paternalistic chivalry may believe that it is up to a man to ask a woman out on a date, and consider it highly inappropriate for a woman to ask a man out on a date.
		It is possible to argue that the term paternalistic chivalry is rather tautological.
		For purposes of the current research, we use the term paternalistic chivalry to highlight attitudes that are both courteous and restrictive to women.

	Islamica Community Forums - Is Islamic Law Paternalistic? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Paternalism = when a political (normally legislative) body imposes laws or rules of social behavior upon an individual that limits his autonomy in a manner that claims that the individual is not capable of making such a decision himself.
		Paternalistic laws are not laws that regulate harm or potential harm between individuals but laws pertaining to the individual himself.
		A paternalistic law is one that restricts certain freedoms of an individual, but these freedoms are not constitutional in nature nor are they there to prevent conflict between individuals.

	Preference for Paternalistic or Informative Physicians: A Study of the Doctor-Patient Relation - Ethics & Medicine
		In the paternalistic model the physician acts as the patient’s guardian and articulates what is best for the patient.
		The paternalistic model assumes that there are shared objective criteria for determining what is best for the patient.
		More generally, this research suggests that the doctor’s role cannot be understood in a vacuum, for a particular style taken by him or her may or may not be appropriate depending on the patient’s personality and awareness.

	The Ayn Rand Institute: The Threat of the Paternalistic State
		It is adopting the role of a paternalistic nanny, zealously protecting the citizen against his own actions.
		Obvious examples of this attitude are laws mandating the use of automobile seat belts and motorcycle helmets.
		The paternalistic "food police" will thus keep people from buying cupcakes so that no one imposes upon the public the "social cost" of extra poundage.

	The Conservative Reform Game by Jacob G. Hornberger
		The game is never ending because the paternalistic program never goes out of existence and, therefore, is always subject to being “reformed,” no matter how many times it has been “reformed” in the past.
		At the risk of belaboring the obvious, if the paternalistic program were abolished, there would be no more need for studies or calls for reform and, therefore, no more need for solicitation of donations to fund more studies and more calls for reform.
		It’s also as if conservatives have a battered-spouse-syndrome relationship with the federal government, which might well be described as their “daddy-god,” given the paternalistic, even god-like, role that conservatives have relinquished to it.

	IHT & Vatican's s paternalistic blunder
		The overwhelming majority of Roma in Europe are settled for at least half of a century thing which one could expect the Vatican or IHT to know.
		It is regrettable that the Catholic Church can write such paternalistic statements and one of the best international papers to publish them.
		I wonder if the Vatican will seek to catholicize either one of the Canadians, English, Dutch, Jews or Arabs which without doubt are seen by the Vatican also “by nature religious” the IHT will have a similarly “neutral” article about it.

	Rhode Island Says Yes to Freedom, No to Paternalistic Government
		Once patients have a doctor's approval to use the plant, they will be required to register with the state and obtain a photo ID card.
		Although big-government forces who want more paternalistic government, and other opponents of freedom, tried to thwart the veto override, in the end the vote was a lopsided 59-13.
		That was a margin similar to that of the Senate override vote, 28-6, signaling strong support for the bill despite Gov. Carcieri's opposition.

	SSRN-Paternalistic Regulation of Public Company Management: Lessons from Bank Regulation by James Fanto
		In this Article, I contend that Sarbanes-Oxley represents a significant step in the ongoing development of a paternalistic federal regulation of public firm management that is in certain respects comparable to the regulation of bank and bank holding company management by federal banking agencies.
		The proposed reform would have the added advantage of balancing the enforcement orientation of the SEC's current paternalistic regulation of public firm management and the increasing criminalization of management's behavior.

	Liberty Corner: Is the State Necessarily Paternalistic? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The state acts paternalistically when it forces or incentivizes its citizens to behave in certain ways.
		But the state is not acting paternalistically when it shields its citizens and enables them to behave as they will, in accordance with the harm principle as it is properly understood (see below).
		I've had it in my mind the idea that the Right is "Paternalistic" and the Left is "Maternalistic." Neither side ever considers that these methods of control, as they are manifested, are weak alternatives to actually dealing with people as adults.

	Interventionism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		Intervening can be justified on grounds of the government possessing better knowledge than individual agents, or from paternalistic reasons, which presume the target agents are incapable of making informed choices themselves.
		On a broader view, non-interventionism is applied by John Stuart Mill in On Liberty; he claims that responsibility to others only goes so far as ensuring they know of the dangers that may befall them, but does not extend to actually physically restraining those who would knowingly injure themselves.
		In the international sphere, Mill ("Notes on Intervention" Collected Works) argues for a policy of self-determination: that other people be allowed to make their own mistakes, and hence forge their own paths to freedom; intervening paternalistically on their behalf will not be conducive to their learning the value of freedom in its own right.

	Canada's Paternalistic Laws: Counterproductive
		First, Government paternalistically resolves that high taxes are the way to get people to quit smoking; it then uses its taxation powers to raise tobacco taxes sky high.
		I speak with the authority of experience on the issue of state paternalism; I come from a culture which was, and still is, plagued by it.
		The State will find its new gun control law, like most of its other paternalistically founded Acts, will be counterproductive.

		It was then, probably because of a guilt complex, that federal governments began to implement programs to replace ones which had previously kept our people poverty stricken amid plenty.
		The cost of imposing these non self-help paternalistic programs, which assumed we were incapable of tying our own shoelaces, soon got expensive.
		This is how Trudeau's government proposed to solve the cost problem.

		¡ª ð¢ ð8 ð0¨êØ¿¿Àÿð·ì±a ðµ¨G As long as the paternalistic leader is actively fulfilling the needs of the rest of the members of the group, there may appear to exist unity in the group and a competent execution of tasks.

	FT.com / Companies / IT - Misys banking chief quits after one month
		Analysts said on Thursday that Mr Vaughan – known for his ability to take radical action – may not have been given enough room to make the changes he wanted at Misys.
		“For a company that is trying to portray willingness to change, this shows that there is still a very paternalistic culture at Misys, which does not leave a lot of room for fresh thinking,” said Kevin Ashton, analyst at Bridgewell.
		Mr Lomax will take the reins at the banking division until a replacement for Mr Vaughan can be found.

	Robert Fisk: Paternalistic Democracy for Iraq
		But Iraqis, a proud people who have resisted centuries of invasions, realised their new public holiday would mark the first day of their country's foreign occupation.
		And so there has begun to grow the faint but sinister shadow of a different kind of "democracy" for Iraq, one in which a new ruler will have to use a paternalistic rule--moderation mixed with autocracy, a la Ataturk--to govern Iraq and allow the Americans to go home.
		Inevitably, it has been one of the American commentators from the same failed lunatic right as Wolfowitz--Daniel Pipes of the Middle East Forum think tank, which promotes American interests in the region--to express this in its most chilling form.
