To answer your question, I would say that Japanese people are more conscientious because they value the larger culture more than the Individual. In fact they often say “ the nail that stands out gets pounded down”. I don’t prescribe to that, btw.
I think that I liked it because I am similar. And I think most people were 50 years ago . Certainly all of my relatives were. We would have called it part of the Protestant ethic , the Jimmy Stewart earnestness that we valued in earlier time. Do the right thing, The Golden Rule, leave it better than you found it, etc. But we have a cultural fixation on lowest common denominator expressions of the individual here now.But from living in a small village in Kyushu with the mayor’s family, I think any American who is polite and considerate and does things in the Southern Gentleman way would thrive. We still have it, there are just less of us.

Go check out the “Pictures from days Gone By” thread and you’ll see that society in the US was once a civilized and orderly society. Then the 60s happened.
Canal Street was really nice shopping before the ‘70s according to my grandparents.

I’ll say it based upon truthful statistics since no one else will. People of African American descent tend to ruin all things that are nice Oh and the homeless would turn into their personal sex shop
According to one prominent historian, they completely ruined white people being cool in America.

Why do we have that cultural fixation now? was it an organic process, or was it pushed on our population from "above" ?

Marxism finally taking root in the 60s did this. The educated useful idiots of the 60s followed nearly every society destroying scheme pushed by the ruling intellectuals out of Europe.

Probably not a lot of Democrats in South Korea.

Your whole post is excellent, but this stands out as an inconvenient truth:

Or their toilet. Never forget getting off a BART stop in San Francisco and trying to take the elevator rather than dragging some luggage up the stairs. As soon as the door opened I got blasted with a scent that smelled like an over full port a john. Needless to say I drug my bags up the stair case.
