Human Existence has never seen one thing: 100% compliance. I can't and I can bet nobody can quote a single rule, directive or law which has ever been followed to the T by the subjected populace. Therein lies the seed on why we as a species have never been perfect. We set rules for ourselves and thereby evolve a set of profession: One which helps you follow rules, One which helps you bend rules and one which earns by breaking rules.
Essentially human beings are not meant to follow rules made by themselves for themselves. It is seeded in the human mind's propensity to free thought. Simply put you can't tell a person that something is right and just expect him to take it on face value. They will always question. On the face of it they may adhere but they will always question.
Human nature in itself can't be subdued and controlled. No matter how much you try to force, it can only try to break free. Sometimes mere instruction may lead to a egoistical response- why? why should i follow? It may end up following but the spark remains- the question lingers on.
On a normal curve where most of the people may end up following whatever rules are set for them there are always outliers who would not care.
I am not sure but probably this is why we don't have a perfect society- because we can't have 100 % compliance. On the other hand some may believe that this inherent incapability of not being able to comply fully gives our society the necessary balance for basic existence.
