As someone coming from the Second world (Eastern Bloc), lived in the First world (Western Europe) and now living in the Third World (SEA Tropics), I'd say that in my opinion, a lot of the Westeners are so inherently arrogant that they don't even realize that. Some of these people would rather die from own arrogance, rather than imagining the other point of view.

Because we know that 150 years ago where where poor as hell and now Scandinavia tops all lists in quality of life. That does not just happen. Yes, NORWAY have oil. The rest of us do not. So how can we successed yet we have to keep dumping money into the third world forever?

Certainly, just as much is true in reverse, or in every direction for that matter, which is why we end up falling back to substance.

It's not nearly as true in the other direction, because American culture and media are everywhere. The fact that they know more about you than you do about them should give you hints that you're missing some substance.
