Yes, the high damage awards can be considered punishment, and possibly an attitude correction.

Typically not everyone hurt is going to sue, so a few reasonable awards will not cause a change of behavior.

Unfortunitly, these large awards have created a circus and lottery atmosphere.

I say, let's take some of the reward out of the large awards. Donate the bulk of it to charities.
