It doesn't change them in general but it does make them treat you personally different because they know you won't be treated that way easily. I don't think people like Caroline learn from others being nice, that just makes them push boundaries even further.
What you're saying should be the way to change peoples perspectives but sadly it just doesn't work on most people.

this is SO TRUE. It is as much to do with how a person reacts as to how a situation will progress. It's sometimes hard to stand up to very dominant people, but it's better for people to do it straight off the bat, than try to do so later on, if possible.
