Excuse me for saying so, but my response is "Well, Duh!".
It really didn't take any great insight to write this. Becomes immediately obvious when one takes the trouble to examine the development of any two different societies.
I also disagree. A lot of such obvious things are overlooked; it's always good when someone who has the right technique to put them down in comprehensible, organized words does so.
Besides, it's obvious to you. But perhaps not to, say, a 16-year old finally starting to read something other than teen magazines. It might seem unimportant to be a revelation, but then many personal revelations are very limited in scope afterwards, in context.

a need for the obvious?
Most people say "Senator xyz voted this way on a single vote, so that must be the way he feels." They do not look for a deeper reason for that vote.
