  >Cultural conformity is not being enforced in Europe Not nearly as much now, but it was definitely enforced 100 to 50 or so years ago in most European countries to the point of being illegal to speak another language than the official local one and ethnic discrimination was rampant. Yes, also in schools and at work. See South Tyrol and Italy and there's other such examples in Europe. Conformity was definitely enforced. Glossing over this dark past doesn't change the fact that it happened here as well.

    France as well, even until very recently. The cancellation of the show about Lafayette and French Revolution in Puy-du-Fou is a good example none talk about publicly because politically unacceptable.

  > Cultural conformity is not being enforced in Europe Of course its being enforced, especially in non-Federal countries. The TV usually speaks one language and no dialects, the education system is controlled by the head of the State, the same goes for media entities usually controlled by people close to the government.

    The difference is in the amount of zeal with which conformism is enforced. The social pressure to comform is ridiculously low in Europe and North America compared to most of the world. That a country's outlets speaks the majority language is not in the same league. I was thinking along the lines of gender roles, marrying late, having a different hair colour, or generally going against the flow, not the language TV shows are in.
