This is also anglo society. It's mixed, part the old English community where people worked and lived together, and part the top most Norman 'conquerors' who were above the peasants that they conquered and did not feel themselves a part of the local society other than to extract wealth/value from them. Modern capitalist business culture is Norman conquest culture, and we need to treat/understand that the grandpas meeting at the local McDonalds for a coffee who care about the community are not the same as the grandpa's running the businesses/government who care what they can extra/exploit from their holdings. Businesses do not care about community/health/safety/benefit tradeoffs any more than the Norman conquerors cared about the peasants/surfs they extracted from other than the Normans had to hold on by force but at this point we are so used to our Norman masters we maintain the system for them. They are all literally The Sheriff of Nottingham.
