"Yes, Sir!"/"Yes, Ma'am!" Culture as a Reflection of Social Conformity
Every time another shooting rampage occurs in America, the first instinct of nearly anyone who hears about the tragic news is to blame the lack of gun control. They somehow believe that more strict access to guns is the ultimate resolution of such problems.
