For myself, I think it has a lot to do with the school of thought you were indoctrinated with as a child - and continue to be indoctrinated with by 'your' media.
Not much else.
For example: Scandinavians are generally selfless and proud of that. Americans are generally quite selfish and proud of that (though its dressed up differently).
Without conquering and cultural realignment, the vast majority of both americanas and scandinavas will probably stay along those lines through the generations.
