Is there any evidence that this kind of homogeneous "national character" is objectively real? Or is it just another story that people tell themselves?
It doesn't mean absolutely everyone takes part, of course, but it does mean it's a 'thing' that people may take part in with support from many of those around them if they choose.
Looking at the inverse: If you're going against the cultural wind, you're just going to have a much harder time doing whatever it is.
It just seems like this must show up in outcomes, it would be strange if it didn't.
Your going to feel humbled.
