(American) Individualist culture

I placed the brackets in "American" because it's a trait most commonly associated with the citizens of the United States of America. A trait born out of distrust of Big Governments and amplified during the anti-communist propaganda during the cold war and the "can-do" attitude seemingly inherent in Americans and not forgetting the harsh reality of big cities.

This individualist culture has been criticized by many as lacking in social cohesiveness that homologous societies have and that those who subscribe to this life style are seen as self absorbed, egocentric, inconsiderate and uncaring. While anyone who has walked through the streets of New York City or find themselves "lucky" enough to be in a Taxi in Los Angeles may find it difficult to contradict such claims the same people can attest to finding a different kind of tolerance, that in their self absorption they do not care where you're from, what you do for a living nor what your belief is simply because it is not of their concern, an unspoken rule that as long as you leave them alone so will they. The opposite is often found in homologous societies where unfamiliar behavior are often questioned, considered dubious and if necessary "exorcised" in order to persevere social harmony.

More often tolerance is less likely found in homologous societies due to its overprotection of "local values" and are often feel threatened by "foreign influence" and is more likely to grow naturally in a laissez-faire society, one that cares less about implementing one form of "social values" instead allowing the society to form its own values through a compound of different values.
