Ah yes, the world of USA. I know it's a hard concept for Americans to understand, but there do exist countries on this planet where litigation culture hasn't degenerated to the point of complete utter madness. Perhaps for once it would be a good idea to take notes instead of forcing idiotic ideas onto the rest of the civilized world.
Not only that, one could easily argue that it hasn't even happened in the USA :)
Although a massive PR campaign has been waged to suit the legislative agenda of tort reform, because in order do massively limit the liability of huge corporations to effective legal redress for their victims, there has to be a public perception of a masses of frivolous law suits.
One of the most important things I keep in mind is that Americans account for fewer than 1/20th of human beings. Whatever attributes, good or bad, ascribed to the people in that place at that time, if they are somehow unique, are not generally applicable to human beings or human nature or those traits would not likely be unique to 3.x% of people.
As the US is comprised of hundreds of millions of people, it is likely whatever special unique circumstances have arisen there are circumstantial; that is, nurture and not nature. It's probably the result of some (written or unwritten) policy or tradition that is, by definition, local or temporary.
