My bad. I was speaking in too general a tone.

I should have said that my interaction with the US society has been that people tend to meddle with others' business more often than in other countries that I've been to.

There are many other countries where I have experienced more societal meddling with neighbors' business. Ignoring the obvious authoritarian countries, many western european countries have a culture of making sure you are doing the normal or right thing. Germany is the easiest example.
