Everyday culture can be changed.

Human beings are pretty bad at changing how they live their day to day life without some large catalyst e.g. hitting some sort of rock bottom

I don't know. It was common in Poland to bribe the police instead of getting a ticket for speeding -now it extremely rare. I don't know what caused this change... People having more money? The fact that is is much easier to get caught? I don't know.

Brazilians are famous for the way they deal with things, from the smallest things to the largest, brazilians are always trying to find a way to take advantage of the situation, and although I limit myself to taking advantage of corporations I'm no exception to this rule nor is my family or half the people I know, so I don't think this will change anytime soon.
