Yes American culture values independence but most other cultures are interdependent. There’s pros and cons to both. In many interdependent societies, kids stay with parents until marriage which helps keep costs low and allows kids to save or focus on career. But parents can also be extremely overprotective over kids (ex. helicopter parents) and keep kids from pursuing new things or risky endeavors (ex. family gaslighting you for trying something different bc it goes against their worldview).
Maybe in traditional american culture. The rest of the world cares about the family at every stage.
