The problem is that if you've been raised in that environment,
it's almost impossible to change.

 Dunno.  I have been accustomed to seeing women disrobing in stores
(without the benefit of a "changing room") to try on clothing ever
since I can recall "shopping".  Or, wearing scant little "in public",
let alone at beaches, etc.
 Here (SW US), it is not uncommon to encounter women "letting it all
hang out" -- even in professional positions.
 So, assuming the *nation* defines the "environment" is a gross
generalization.
 

Not surprised that the practice developed at USC; mixing business and pleasure is the "California Style" style of engineering, like wearing ratty T-shirts and cargo shorts to the office, which also likely has foozball tables, a full bar, 55" video game screen/man cave and on-demand sushi and strippers, and all that.
Not much hardware design goes on in New England anymore but I'm definitely more a fan of the "New England"-style of wearing a shirt and tie to the office and leaving the centerfolds, video games, and generalized baby bullshit at the door.
