How we are watering our few good manners and values with negativity

One of the lessons I remember from my college days was one about societies and their values. Our lecturer at the time used the American society to illustrate her point.

She told us Americans are known for being direct, for keeping time, for embracing volunteerism and charity work; for being loud and for many other things. Over time, we have heard tales about other societies - the Nigerians, the Chinese, the Jews and the list goes on.
