Do you agree with the title of this thread? It's a quote commonly attributed to Andrew Fletcher, a Scottish politician and writer. Do you think the popular culture of a state has a stronger effect on people's behavior and beliefs? Songs are certainly easier to remember, easier to spread, and more intuitive to understand than laws. They also seem to have a pronounced effect on everyday social behavior, which is difficult to regulate but seemingly easy to program by mass media.
