Emanuela Carbonara on Laws - Dictionary of Arguments
Parisi I 472 Laws/norms/behavior/Carbonara: The expressive power of the law exerts its effect through different channels. 1)Legal innovation can change the social meaning of given actions and behavior; 2)New laws help create “focal points,” attracting attention towards certain actions and changing individuals’ expectations about other people’s behavior, favoring coordination; 3)Legal norms can change preferences, prompting individuals to “internalize” the values embodied in the law. >Law/Carbonara. (…) through each of these channels, the law can influence behavior independently of the sanction it imposes (McAdams, 2000a(1)). Parisi I 473 Social meaning: Once individuals are aware of social meaning, they can use it, as they can be “tools - means to a chosen end.” >Social meaning/Lessig. 1. McAdams, Richard H.
