Does policy drive culture or does policy reflect culture? It seems to me that culture drives policy. Why else does it take so long for policy to catch up to how people feel?

Laws against driving drunk were tough for a long time, but it was still a big issue in the US. To change many people’s behavior, was the stigma associated with doing something that foolish even more effective than the laws?

Are there overwhelming pharmaceutical ads because people take so many pills or is it to make sure that they do? After listening to the side effects, who in their right mind would ask their doctor about these pills? Never mind the fact that I am supposed to suggest to a medical professional the treatment that I need.

If you really want change to happen, get Hollywood to take up the cause and portray popular characters demonstrating the behavior you want. If the culture moves enough, most people will behave that way regardless of policy.

Assuming you do not have any influence in Hollywood, what will you do to move the culture?
