[quote=Anonymous]I lived in Pakistan for a few years for work. This was an EXTREME example of a society that does not value community. Family groups are large and insular, their own micro communities, and socializing is done mostly in the family group. It is very common to marry within the family group as well, with cousin marriage being common and considered a positive thing. The government is corrupt and ineffective, and this is a low-trust society with much crime and dishonesty, violence and scams and so many people willing to do whatever it takes to scrabble out any advantage they can for themselves/their own family group: it is actually dangerous in many cases to stray too far from the family home/unit. It was a very different world.[/quote]
