- everybodyknows 4y agoIt must come from outside pressure. Internal dynamics of institutions work in the retrograde direction: Individuals most easily rise to power by flattering prevailing opinions.
- st00 4y agoI'm curious about why you would want (or, expect) an institution to resolve a cultural or interpersonal phenomenon. Maybe I've misunderstood your meaning or intent. It strikes me that this is a behavior, and if it's common, the best way to address it is by changing the norm through positive examples and gentle feedback. Off the cuff, looking to an institution to shape some behaviors has not generally gone well for humanity. I'm sure that we can think of counter-examples, but this seems to be contrary to what makes Western culture successful.
