American culture is so ego-centric

“American culture is so ego-centric with virtually every aspect of life centering on the “me,” and not the “other.” “I deserve it.” “I should have it my way.” “My actions should have no consequences.” “If this or that or who is not what I want or to my liking, I can throw it away and find something/someone else. The “me-isms” are virtually endless.”
