What is the difference between the way people are raised in Japan vs U.S?

Culture

Edit: They have a respectful culture and we have "Tha culcha"

They have honor your father and we have "who is my father?"

That was Nishida with the White Sox. Jap baseball legends are actual heroes in their Country…almost immortal. They have way different values and respect than we do.

I mean, if someone compares a rookie bball player to Jordan, I think it's only fair to pump the brakes on those kinds of comparisons by nature just for normalizing the expectations. Ichiro was one of the best Japanese players of all time.

Shintoism

Homogeneous Society

There are many homogeneous societies that are absolute shitholes.

The differences is strong values and accountability. The left has subverted ours.

There's many things to say, but greed is where we took a hard wrong turn, culturally.

Japan has many challenges, but their values are much healthier.

Scottie Scheffler is one of those kind of guys.

Japan is a homogeneous high trust society with virtually zero crime, illiteracy, drug addiction, and relatively little serious poverty.

There is almost zero visible homeless population on account of its proliferation of inexpensive public places that allow people to sleep for a night (like 24 hour internet cafes).

Its dominant religion, Shinto, is less a church and more of a collection of traditions combined with ancestor worship.

Family reputation is extremely important, any negative behaviors by one family member will bring shame upon the entire family, so families heavily enforce standards of conduct on their own.

Wages have been stagnant for over a generation, causing working hours to climb to ridiculous levels.

Parents are always working, and thus children are given a lot of responsibility at young ages to do things themselves. Don’t mistake this responsibility for autonomy, however.

Getting jobs that actually afford a home and a family are extremely competitive to get, and thus schooling is super competitive as well. They have cram schools just to prepare students for tests to get accepted into better cram schools.

Japanese society has some big positives like clean public spaces, great mass transit, and very little crime. However, it struggles with affordability, high work hours, lack of autonomy, lack of economic mobility, intense social shaming, high suicide rates, etc. It can be a very lonely grinding place.

Check that. Parents that are invested in their children.
