Yes the cultural aspect can be a different problem and more difficult to change. I'm more referring to those where it's not a cultural thing but a learned thing from parents or a outlet for frustration caused by the perception of failure. Turning to alcohol, gambling etc are distractions from the real problems, and sometimes make the problems worse. The one issue which is constantly insitu that can ignite it is attitude.
