Born in a particular location has nothing to do with anything.
"Raised within a certain culture, educated in a school system
with certain priorities, and experienced in an industry operating
with certain values and quirks" may have a lot to do with many
things.  Americans, for instance, I think have more than their
share of the "question/challenge authority" meme, and I can see
both its value and its drawbacks (and can well imagine just how
badly it might conflict with the values of other cultures.)
