Another comment on traveling. I grew up in a middle class family and traveling was done by car. We simply could not afford plane travel, which limited our vacations to the US and Canada (Mexico was 1500 miles away). It's much easier and cheaper for Europeans to get to another country and experience that kind of diversity. We've only really traveled the last ten years because we finally had enough disposable income to spend that kind o money on a trip. And many people never really get out of the "trips to Europe are for the folks better off than me" mentality, even when they do have the money. If people are not exposed to something when they are young, there's more of a barrier to overcome when they get older. I admit that I was more likely to travel to other countries because I hate vacations like cruises.
