Society

Competition continues even in adulthood. Japanese people tend to compare themselves to others, so they are always conscious of their surroundings. Average office workers cannot avoid competition in order to get promoted or avoid layoffs.

Japanese people believe that hard work is a virtue.Many people believe that making money easily is not a good thing, so it is not uncommon for people to work an average of more than 10 hours a day and die from overwork.Many Japanese people are very tired. One of my main goals has become to travel abroad to heal my mind and body.

I think the lifestyles and environments of the elderly in Japan and overseas are quite different. In Japan, stereotypes are very strong and people do not follow invisible rules. This tendency is also due to a society that values ​​the group over the individual.

Recently, there has been a huge increase in traffic accidents involving rental cars caused by foreign tourists. I think this is due to the fact that they cannot read Japanese traffic signs and drive on the left side of the road. When driving in Japan, I would like people to know basic Japanese and Japanese traffic rules.

It is said that Japanese people are non-religious, but in reality, many people are very ambiguous, being Christian at Christmas and Buddhist at New Year's.I don't understand Japanese people's religious views. This ambiguity may be surprising to people from overseas.

The truth hidden behind the reports of a labor shortage in Japan is that many Japanese people want to work but are unable to work enough due to the obstacle of annual income.

Japanese society is based on academic credentials, so people respect those in authority. There is also a lot of peer pressure, so people feel very secure when everyone is the same.

I will talk about the deep psychology of Japanese people who continue to wear masks throughout the coronavirus pandemic, and also about the difficulties I face in Japanese society as a person who does not wear a mask.

Japanese people have always liked wearing masks. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, this has increased dramatically, leading to a mask frenzy.I'd like to explain the true psychology behind Japanese people wearing masks.
