This is the “true voice” of the modern Japanese people.
“Japanese people are among the coldest in the world.”
“It is because of our lack of effort that we are in trouble.”
Anyway, this is the proof that Japanese people are one of the most unhelpful people in the world. Furthermore, we hear comments such as the following.
“If you talk to a stranger, you are treated as a suspicious person. Recently, I’ve started pretending I don’t see them. I used to feel good about doing a good deed for others, so I used to call out to them willingly.”
“This is true. I got sick, collapsed, and couldn’t move. I asked for help from passersby, but they all brushed me off and it was a foreign convenience store clerk who took care of me.”
“Japan is a country of self-responsibility. The reason I am in trouble is because of his lack of effort.”
You may want to cover your eyes when you hear this, but this is “the voice of the Japanese people as they really are.
In recent years, the “self-responsibility theory” has been frequently discussed in Japan, and some sociologists even argue that the former era of “100 million middle class” is now far away and the disparity is fixed, making Japan a class society.
In a society where people do not know when they will be underclass and cannot afford to be underclassed, it can be seen as a society where people are less likely to feel inclined to help others.
Furthermore, we have data to back this up. Here is a graph from the “International Comparison of Social Assistance.”
Among the countries surveyed, Japan is the lowest, regardless of whether it is a member or non-member of the OECD.
And this is the graph of “Japan is the country that demands “self-responsibility” the most in the world.
As you can already see, it is no exaggeration to say that this is a characteristic of Japanese people who abhor public (administrative), mutual, and mutual aid. It is obvious that this is reflected in the nature of the government. The result is a class society in which the haves become richer and the have-nots have no choice but to live in poverty.
This is not a matter of “thinking” or “feeling” in a naïve and naïve way. It is not too much to assert, but rather too little to say. This is “the fact”, “the reality” and “the truth”. It’s not a matter of good or bad, it’s nothing more than a golden rule that can’t be described in any other way and has absolutely no room for doubt.
