Each country or culture produces its own stereotypes, that will always look extreme to other cultures. And some of the perceptions/illusions are shared by almost all people, regardless the culture or country. What puzzles me, however, is that people would rather die than let go. Consequently I see the grace in what you write in gently offering them to see a choice, a shift of perception and paradigm, rather than to have them have more of the same old shite they already fell for (save the world, develop superpowers, have the nicest home, the best car, the most impressive barbecue, the diggest dick, the biggest breast etc etc) I agree that CONTEXT plays a major in perceiving reality.
