American culture is very unique among western countries. The cowboy archetype is still largely the embodiment of American culture and it focuses on individualism to an extreme and often toxic level. This focus on individualism over collectivism without any second thought has led to a culture that accepts rule breaking in a way that most others do not. It's much more complicated than "just do the same thing all the other countries do"
