[quote=Anonymous]Interesting question, and one I've wondered about, too. It goes alongside the differences in the amount of respect given to elders. In western cultures, that is not seen as much. I guess it's just traditional expectations. Here, you are pushed to go out and make it by yourself. In lots of non-western countries, family connections play too much of a role, particularly in employment opportunities, IMO (i.e. nepotism). In societies like that, if you are not from the right family, life is not nearly as good. So I wonder if democracy leads to weaker family ties?[/quote]
