Things look WAY different when you don't have glaring city lights obscuring all the other stars around it.

When you look up, you only see the stars that capitalism hasn't stolen from you yet.

Actually it looks more or less the same if a bit brighter, you can't see a bear there no matter how hard you try.

That's because the 'dipper' is only a part of the bear - ursa major proper has quite a few more stars in it. Though, not disagreeing, it's a real stretch to describe it as truly "bear shaped" (Ursa Minor is even less reasonable)
