Do you have proof that societal pressure via shaming results in systematic changes the way you’re describing? From what I remember, there are studies regarding the shaming of women and bodily image that doesnt seem to correlate shaming for misbehavior with better behavior (Ie. Eating less).
- zeroname 8y agoThat's a bit of a special case, because shaming creates stress, while people with an eating disorder eat to reduce stress. Otherwise, I think it's self-evident. There's many behaviors that would've been socially unacceptable a hundred years ago, which today are accepted and far more common. For a somewhat related example, consider inter-racial or (to some degree) inter-religious marriages.
- SolaceQuantum 8y agoIf it’s self evident, then it should be rudimentary to study.
- zeroname 8y agoExactly, so please go ahead and study it.
