> - stealing must also not be accepted

It's a bit more complex than that, in my opinion. This is also about whether people respect/love society.

When you feel connected to society and feel thankful for what it gives to you, you will be much less likely to exhibit antisocial behavior.

In my opinion, this lack of connection to society is caused by

1. The US being a lot harder on its participants than in the Norden countries. This causes people to feel less thankful to it. 2. The division in US politics and media causes people to be disillusioned by society and feel no connection/relation to it.

Agree to a degree.

What I write about above however is that even in the Nordic countries where everyone has all reason to be thankful people steal a lot.

Which people? Since when? Could there be a pattern?

Burglary and shoplifting? Drug abusers mostly these days it seems but also professional thieves from further down in Europe.

Has always been going on, but it feels there has been an increase.

There can absolutely be some patterns.
