"drinking" culture, "bicycle" culture, "car" culture. It's just a way to express society's attitude towards those in animate object, and how our lives are impacted as a result.

Drinking culture in the US determines that you shouldn't drive while intoxicated. Car culture makes it impossible to get out of the bar withot driving, so it means that the most common way to get your drunk friend home is to call them an Uber.

    Suicidal thoughts and homicidal thoughts are very similar to each other. Even if we think of it as "harming only yourself to harming everyone but yourself" our brains think of it as "harm a human" and the target is just switched. Plus, harming everyone around you and getting sentenced to life in prison is arguably a greater "self sabotage" than suicide.
