For those of you who have that stereo-type and continue to think we Japanese follow our native culture...We don't. I was American born, therefore that's all I know. I represent the star spangled banner and nothing more or less. Which makes me just as guilty as the next American.
The reports are coming in that the Japanese up in lines to get water and food, the stores are cutting prices when they can to help out. There is NO LOOTING going on.
People are pitching in helping one another they are not sitting on their asses waiting for someone to come and save them or waiting for a welfare check or child support from their baby daddy/mama.
What is keeping Japan in good spirits is because the majority of the people are ethnic Japanese, their culture has not been eroded by multiculture diversity like it is here.
The USA once had this type of culture, in the area I live it is still alive and doing well, but in many places in the USA it has completely disappeared.
All we have to do is compare the moral turpitude of Hurricane Katrina which was beyond comprehension from the worst as worst gets..Then take a look what has happened in Japan to see the difference in morals, ethics and character in times of peril and disaster. They lead by example and its definitely something many people never do or ever think to.
