I've been married to a German for 52 years, spent 9 1/2 years in Germany. I did 2 years in South Korea where I interacted with Koreans on almost a daily basis. There are some differences in social customs but as far as what the average German or Korean want and desire is the same as an American. A good job, nice home, good health and the desire to live out their lives in peace. There are conservatives and liberals, criminals and upstanding citizens. There isn't enough difference to matter except to the hate America first types who will always find ways to demonize the US.
