  When you are eating a shit sandwich already because that's all there is it doesn't matter if there's dogshit or horseshit on it.

  Good point. I really don't think a country can switch side (high to low and viceversa) within a short timespan, maybe not even within a generation. So, if you want to solve the issue, you use the methods which work in the affected area. In high trust, as long as the thing is seeing benefitting most, it is often followed. In low trust, breaking a rule is often seen as a sign of independence and generally being cool, so you need to put deterrents to make it uncool to get caught. At least, this is coming from my own personal experience living in different countries. Might not be the same everywhere.

      So you're saying that in the 70/80s people trusted each other much more? I'm not sure specifically about kids and dogs but I'm not quite sure that was the case then, given the extremely huge heterogeneous society that was already back then. What do you think?

        It's a complete mystery.
