re: Korean executive apologizes after delaying a flight with a tantrum

I read a real interesting book around the time of the tsunami about Eastern culture. It was talking about the whole shame (like our culture) vs shun (like this incident).

It also spoke about cultural pressure to not do anything to disrespect your family/heritage/community.

It was really eye opening and illustrated why there were no riots over there unlike Katrina.


Of course, this traditional culture is dying away with globalization.
