Well... culture is not the only factor. In my opinion people are made up of three *major* (not the only ones) factors: Their community (culture); Their family culture; Their own personality.
So, I'm not as courageous nor as violent as some young men from well-to-do suburban neighborhoods. My personality is just one that is more gentle (depending on which family to contrast too, so to my family culture. Same thing goes with neighborhoods)
So, you have gentle, or you have kind, or you have fairly friendly people, or you even have effeminate males in very *tough* and violent American inner cities or in Brazilian or Peruvian favelas. People have their own personalities and their own histories. This is true. This is fine.
But typically speaking the United States is one of the more aggressive and "tough" cultures in the world. I realize that word "tough" is pretty subjective and pretty vague and that's why I put in quote marks to stress it's implied meaning.
I'm sure Manchester, England is a far more rough and tough localized culture than say the localized culture of Waukesha, Wisconsin in the United States. I've never been to Manchester but I've heard its pretty tough. But my point is I do realize not ever localized culture in the United States is so called "rough" or "bada**" so to speak.
