Throughout its history, America has attracted some of the finest risk-takers, and has created the perfect environment for them to thrive. In India, risk is a four-letter word. There is a stigma associated with it. There are many probable explanations. One of the principal reasons is the social structure of American society.
Kids move out of their homes early, pay their own way through college.
Many study away from their home state. More than a few move again to find work. American society is very mobile, and with this mobility comes a better acceptance of change and uncertainty. Moreover, a society that is always on the move does not really develop a strong sense of community. The emphasis is on the individual.
