| ==== a. The Breath of Change ==== | | ==== The Breath of Change ==== |
| *Some forms of "rule-shifting" are "so grand or so pervasive" that they inevitably become "culture-shifting"
| |
| **ex: The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Anti-smoking laws
| |
| **these "pervasive" "rule-shifting" laws must be "known, accepted, and enforced" in order to have "culture-shifting" power
| |
| ==== b. Public Awareness of Change ====
| |
| *ordinary citizens must be aware that a "rule-shift" has taken place in order for "culture-shifting" to occur
| |
| *changes that happen at the legislative level typically gain more public awareness than those that happen at the judicial or administrative levels
| |
| **legislative lawmaking processes are typically more public, leading to more debate among constituents, allowing for a more significant "rule"/"culture-shifting" effect
