Mexico vs US

I found an interesting article that discusses the differences between the US and Mexico. Recently, the daughter of a well-known, influential Mexican family died in a boating accident. The media treatment of her death was radically different from what US media treatment would've been. The article points out not only the differences in the treatment of her death by the media, but the cultural and business differences between the two countries as well. Sadly, the US comes out as cold and insensitive in its treatment of the dead whereas the Mexicans come out as sensitive and compassionate. Do you really think that's so?
