"Society" and "community" are emergent effects of the interaction between people. If we want society to be ordered in a certain way, it behooves us - while we're straining to steer the juggernaut - to strive to order our own communities in a way compatible with our vision of how society should be ordered.
For example, if one wishes for unrepentant serial sexual harassers to be ostracized by wider society, then in the first instance one should seek to have unrepentant serial sexual harassers ostracized by the communities one is part of.

Re: "Discipline"? "Members"? What kind of "community" are you talking about?
