      I know what you are saying but usually “arbitrary” is at the individual level, not at societal level.

      E.g. laws being arbitrarily enforced but you’d never describe the law itself as arbitrary.

      Your point is well illustrated with the Joseon trend in Korea in the late 1800’s. But that was more societal than individual.
