[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What country was so magical that it prompted you to post? Truly curious. [/quote]

Japan.  South Korea.  Thailand. Singapore.

Zero tipping. Cheap healthcare. Zero gun deaths on the news in Singapore, South Korea, and Japan. Amazing quality food in all of them.  Public infrastructure that’s about 80 years more advanced than the U.S. in SK, Singapore, and Japan. [/quote]

Those countries have high trust societies. We don’t have that in the US. We used to, but we don’t anymore.[/quote]

Is it trust or conformity/homogeneity? [/quote]

It’s about unified culture. You have to have an underlying culture that values those things for it to be prevalent amongst the populace. There has to be unifying values the majority of people agree on. That's why America has so much trouble with certain things. There are no underlying unified values, even for simple things like public cleanliness. It's a bunch of clashing cultural values. Thus, the idea that all cultures are equal in all regards is a flawed philosophy. Some behaviors from some cultures lead to better outcomes than others. Multiculturalism, in that respect, doesn't work.[/quote]
