In truth, you have love-hate feelings about the West. You may think we are unrefined and too permissive, but you want to look like us.
You should study their reaction to the west between 75 and 175 years ago (I forget the actual time period), where they almost lost their culture to Westerners, by their own choice. Of course this has likely created a detailed rebound effect. All in all, I find it far more interesting than our story of the Wild West.
