http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_character

Moral character or character is an evaluation of a particular individual's durable moral qualities. The concept of character can imply a variety of attributes including the existence or lack of virtues such as integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty, and loyalty, or of good behaviors or habits. Moral character primarily refers to the assemblage of qualities that distinguish one individual from another - although on a cultural level, the set of moral behaviors to which a social group adheres can be said to unite and define it culturally as distinct from others. Psychologist Lawrence Pervin defines moral character as "a disposition to express behavior in consistent patterns of functions across a range of situations"

Overview
Born: October 1, 1924; Plains, Georgia... From the very start of his presidency, Jimmy Carter attempted to make the office more personable and accessible: he walked along the inaugural parade route, ended the playing of Hail to the Chief, and carried his own luggage. Elected largely on his promise to never lie to the American people, Carter soon seemed out of place in the vastness of the presidency. Events conspired to further impede his progress: rising energy costs, high unemployment, Americans held hostage in Iran, Soviets in Afghanistan. A man of peace who took pride in bringing together age-old antagonists, Carter was finally viewed by his countrymen as lacking presidential stature.

不敢妄自断言。
不过我倒是亲自经历过这样一件事：下午给中国代表团安排市区观光，我是导游。代表团共有7、8位成员，某领导提出想买鞋，我说先带大家看完主要景点，最后剩点时间可以去下购物点。但全团成员一致决定，领导购物事大，其他人观不观光无所谓。他们嘱托我：“你尽管带xx去买东西，我们自己转转就行了。”
在中国作个乡长真是比欧洲的市长还威风。

Nowadays you almost can't buy anything of decent quality in many categories that doesn't have a "Made in China" label on it.

Those who want a bit of luxury really should just keep their eyes peeled. Why look elsewhere when the stuff is available right in your own backyard?

... 同样品牌的 Made in China，在 backyard 买到的就可能是假冒伪劣。即使不是假冒伪劣商品，其价格也往往比国外要高出许多。这也许就是许多人不愿在 backyard 买 Made in China 商品的原因。如今许多有机会到海外旅行的中国人，一到国外商场就拼命“血拼”。他们买的许多名牌商品其实都是 Made in China。 随着国内物价的飞涨，劳动力价格的迅速上升，不知 Made in China 的物美价廉还能维持多久？

中国物价为何比美国还高？不知此文分析得是否有理？美国的物价也在涨，但涨价的速度和幅度远比不上中国。
