The good things about American culture

At one of the gas stations which doesnt accept credit card I noticed that everybody fills the gas at gas station (completely blocked out of the view of the owner sitting inside a shop) and goes inside the shop honestly to make payment all the while unsupervised. This stuff is impossible to find in India. A sharp contrast to the perception some of us assume in India about American culture.
People are very hard working here . Teens start working very early and they make their own money to finance their college. The maturity level in them is high as compared to Indian teens.
People are very knowledgeable about the work they do. Meritocracy is given very high importance and everyone does his or her job well . People know their stuff and moreover they enjoy doing it well.
Lastly women are given more respect than in India and treated on a more or less equal footing as men.
