   Interesting, very interesting explanation. But NOT every culture   
   strives so hard to be different. You may also argue that the ones that   
   cooperate have the better quality of life. Imagine the Turks in   
   Germany driving like idiots and getting away with it. The predominant   
   society must always impose its values or else.   
      
   I have to check into that but I hope the Turkish lawyer is not so   
   prevalent in Germany.
