I don't think there is a question that we use guilt as a tool to help people make, what we consider, good choices. The real question is whether it is appropriate or inappropriate.

It actually is a good question. I think punishment is often stressed more than reward. Maybe those methods are the best way to keep a large group in line. Human beings are too flawed to use the reward or appeal to the better self method, especially human beings in the formative years.
