I reject the notion that society "programs" people. The example presented, which also extends into other areas of physical augmentation, does not stand true for the entire country. What you hear and see is not representative of the nation as a whole. There are many Americans who find these types of augmentation and embellishments such as piercing a distasteful. American society offers a great many paths to follow and it is up to the individual to decide what course to follow. No one forced you to wear baggy clothes and use curse words, you simply were weak at the time and not mature enough to understand your personal freedoms, you made the "choice" and may indicate your personality as being one of a follower and not a leader. I would think that some Asian women have practices that are deemed to be disgusting in other countries, in fact there are many different customs in the world that are unacceptable in many other countries. Breast implant practice is most likely less that 3% of the female population. I wouldn't perceive this to be something that we can label as stereotypical of a country.
