NB Cultural upbringing also has to include previous exposure to
programming languages and paradigms. Eg ex-Lisp programmers and ex-C
programmers write different kinds of Java programs.
BTW If you are starting to think that OOP is a bit oversold then here
are some not unrelated articles.
"The Post-OOP Paradigm" - from "American Scientist"

"Object Oriented Programming Oversold!" - a very personal rant but some interesting
points.
