As we see less and less trustworthiness across all strata of our society, different groups have tried different strategies. Within institutional contexts, some jurisdictions have introduced compulsory civics classes, ethics classes, world religions classes, or tried to instill virtues across the curriculum in a more integrated manner.
Outside of school, some religious communities have organized courses that aim at individual and community spiritual development, etc.
One possibility I could see would be for secular communities to explore the courses that have been created by the different religious communities to try to come up with some kind of interfaith course, or some kind of secular course based on the experiences of the various religious communities incorporating best practice in inculcating virtues into the community.
One tricky part is that religious courses generally include the fear of God, or the notion of man having been created noble, which could prove tricky for those who don't believe in God. But with the increased corruption in society, we cannot afford to have to keep an eye on everyone all the time. Also, we cannot afford to just keep throwing every one in jail. Sooner or later, inculcating personal responsibility is important, but how to do it?
