It's hard for people in the US to completely respect this. Just look at US attitudes towards China. From our perspective some of the things China does are Atrocious, but from the Chinese perspective it's just normal enforcement of rules from a central regime for the betterment of society.

Essentially US cultural standards mark certain behaviors as horrible in the same way Muslim countries think women wearing a bikini is a crime. Very hard to change the way we think and arguably maybe we shouldn't change the way we think.
