> Jay: I think you're selling the rest of the world short here. The Western world doesn't place more emphasis on it, we've just achieved more of it. I know plenty of people from other parts of the world personally, and there's no shortage of overemphasis placed on money, power, sex, and all the things people seem to think the Western world invented. I think it depends on the individual, as these are universal human traits.
