I guess I was thinking that in countries where people have internalized the need to follow the rules, they are more likely to follow the rules even when they would otherwise like to kill someone. Countries that have internalized the rule of law also are usually better at accommodating dissent.

In other countries, it's hard to introduce the rule of law because people are used to resolving their differences outside the legal system.
