1. Mostly out of ignorance and greed

2. Cultural isolation

There aren't any cultures that the majority of Americans have to interact with. Their views are hardly ever challenged because of this.

at American borders.

9. I think Capitalism Breeds a competitive culture based on materialism

and power. When you grow up in a system that has such values they are bound to rub off on people. Socialism breeds people watching out for one another and less emphasis on materialism, power and money. I believe in Capitalism but we need a better mix of Socialism and Capitalism to get our values back in check and mellow out the the arrogant nature of our people.
