Why No Looting and Mayhem in Japan?

A neighbor has asked a question that you may be able to answer.

Have you seen news reports of the Japanese people following the quake and disaster? There's no looting, no murder and mayhem. People are waiting in calm lines for food and water.Β 

Why can't more Americans behave like this during disasters? What is the cultural difference?
