Huh? US society doesn't foster that. Sounds like you just live in a crappy area or a rich super entitled one. I've never lived in an area where people just left their fast food mess or just left spills. It's never been an attitude fostered anywhere I've lived. To be fair I mainly had experience with the midwest/western USA, maybe the east coast is different.
Maybe some things feel more prevalent. I'd say this is largely confirmation and/or sampling bias. Nobody knows without actually doing the sociology that there are these tendencies. To the extent that we have anecdata, we don't know how much more prevalent such tendencies are. The USA is a big AF place, 400 some million people.
there's definitely a "it's not my job to _____, why would I do someone else's job for them" attitude I've noticed from some people, though I couldn't say what traits they share so as to identify a subgroup.
