RE: Do people think about the rules they impose? Do they consider how they would react to such rules?
Would you say, society tries to find a one size fits all. As you pointed out in your example, there are nuances.
Yes, I do think society tries to do that. Someone does something bad, rather than focus on the negative actor they attempt to generalize and pass some law to stop such events from happening again. This generally seems to be ineffective. Generalization is a logical fallacy, so the fact that we produce laws often based upon generalizations would indicate we are kind of already building the law upon a generalization fallacy.
