Are Westerns meaner than peoples from other countries?

I think what you say could be true as we have become more selfish and less likely to help each other.This is probably because we have less of a need to help each other."Slums" have such a community and friendly atmosphere as their is a lot more cooperation between people as they don't really have anyother option to live but to work together.

I dont want to generalize this topic as much as possible. What is morally acceptable to one group of race may not be acceptable to other races. What I mean is every person has different standard of what is right and wrong depending on the society it belong. When I was in Canada I didnt find canadians as mean though there are also people whom I met that has unacceptable behavoir to me but some of them dont recognize that since they grew up in a different culture unless you tell them they are being mean. All I can say maybe they just dont know and unwilling to put their shoes on others shoes thats why they are forseen as mean.
