You said it actually comes down to individuality versus collectivism.

Well, I would say obviously these are kind of generalizations because there are so many different kind of instances and ones to it.

But in general, there are societies.

So if we look at Italy, Italy is a society that hugely values family and close friendship ties and networks.

There's a huge emphasis on them.

and that becomes quite a lot in somebody's life to the point that you are expected to do things for your family but you also always can rely on your family and your close friends and that kind of implies that if you need something, it's not that they do you a favor in offering, providing that to you.

They kind of owe you that.

Having talked to the people there, do they seem happy with this kind of arrangement? Are they even questioning it? I mean, they don't know anything else, right?
