That's because you don't understand social engineering.

In that culture, people believe that that is acceptable because they were told it was acceptable.

In time, a world that was more completely on the same page, as long as it was a good page, would be able to achieve so much more because they wouldn't be so busy fighting each other and spending so much of their life just trying to be different instead of trying to be better.
