For me, the most primitive aspect of American society is the prevalence of guns... Sometimes America is still in the "Wild West" period when just about everybody carried a gun and shot whoever got in their way.

Paradoxically , the most primitive aspect of american society is the deep-rooted belief that technology can solve all problems.

our prison system is number one, our education system a close second. they are decent compared to the worlds standards, but they never seem to evolve in a good way.
our prisons get more and more crowded and we can't rehabilitate these people fast enough, and we can't fix the problem to begin with so they even get in that situation.
our citizens are stupid enough to do drugs, that we wage a "war on drugs", but the real war should be a war against stupidity.

That we were founded on the idea that this country is the "melting pot" of the world.
I find that we (Americans) are still very much a rascist, biggoted, and closed-minded people.
Sad but true.
Free your mind.

Individualism. It infantilizes adults and it's a prime component of competition, capitalism, egoism and greed. Also the notion of "race"...If it looks different it must be different. Right?

Easy----Prostitution. It uses the same technology, same methods of communicating intent, same methods of collecting payment as it did at the beginning of recorded history.
