- Summary:
- Many of the values and basic assumptions the Japanese make about life have their origins in Buddhism and Shintoism. The primacy of the group or the collective good and the value placed on maintaining harmony are particularly strong and cherished, often expressed in most aspects of Japanese life. Explore the key complex values that define Japanese culture, including Gaman, or the desire to maintain harmony, and the concept of uchi/soto (inside/outside), which is also very important. Understand why many older Japanese fear disgrace and focus on achieving the greater good of the family or corporate unit rather than their personal needs - and how these attitudes are changing across generations.
