Long is the English tradition in the field of the picaresque, Lazarillo de Tormes and takes a secular tradition of practice in deception, trickery, forgetfulness, misunderstanding, theft, served not only to survive, but the welfare of the century such practices have perpetuated at all levels, with the complicity of the citizenry. From the corrupt politician, the unemployed and working that comes in black at the same time, the officer who goes shopping during working hours, the businessman who works in black, the employee is shirking when it is not the boss, who knows one that has made him a favor at a special price on a car, the banker who recommended dismissal falling wages and free while having a golden parachute of millions of € etc. The company is steeped in the culture of smartass, and there is no shame as it is known, is more people to account, and others say, oops! how smart is this, there is also competition among colleagues, friends or family who has the biggest bargain, the more favorable contact, plug better or the subsidy obtained by fraud. While in other cultures would then expose the neighbor who does not pay to the Treasury, here is admired and emulated. I do not intend to reach the grounds of ethics and Calvinist Protestant cultures, but a bit of ethical behavior and shame bullfighter you would need in this society.
