Even more minor issues and not going to those more abhorrent extremes, some countries like Japan or China have much more social shame for public misbehavior. The United States used to have more social shame for public misbehavior. This is why people are quiet on subways, there's less petty crime, and higher grades. There's shame for doing poorly in school, not excuses for how ducks don't climb trees or whatever. There's shame for people that litter. I am all aboard this train personally.
