I am not a US citizen but take offence at your statement that "littering is "expected" and a normal part of society" simply because you've seen someone do it. I am pretty sure you can find examples of littering in even the most strict of cultures. Especially when people believe they can easily get away with it.

Why do you take offence that I said "littering is expected" in some cultures? Is it untrue?

Because of the implication that if you saw someone belonging to a culture that littered, then it means littering is expected in that culture.

Let me clarify.

Some cultures expect people to litter. I witnessed people from these cultures, in my country, littering where it's illegal and socially disgraceful. These people were confronted and they still left their trash on the ground, the people that confronted them picked up their litter for them.

I hope this clarifies my statement.

Unless you are claiming there is not a single culture that doesn't expect people to litter?
