I would add a note as well, MP Fragiskatos, that one thing we do see is that laws are normative, and that when laws are applied consistently and evenly across the strata of rich and poor, the haves and have-nots, laws do have the ability to transform a society.
I notice that a stream in the question you presented was on how you ultimately transform a society. I think it's the consistent application of a law that fully transforms a society.
If I can break it down for just a moment to how we understand this playing out in our own culture, 10 years ago texting and driving wasn't against the law. Texting and driving is now against the law, and there is a punitive consequence to texting and driving. As a result, the majority of the members of our society no longer text and drive; in fact, doing so is looked down upon.
