> I'm thinking of various sociopathic tendencies... This is a difficult, multi-faceted challenge to address. This behavior is rampant in the world, and IMHO it is only getting worse at the moment. Up until relatively recently, the US and some developed nations tended to express less of this than the rest of the world, so I suspect overall relative wealth, maybe even lower inequality, spread across a tremendous sector of the population can ameliorate the tendency. Concrete examples are the product return policies that in the past I observe tended to be fairly generous and could only be commonly found in the US and some developed nations' marketplaces. These policies are tightening up and in some cases dropped altogether. There is a cultural element at play as well, complicating the picture.
