The mysterious Far Eastern country has always been a secret for outsiders. Japan, with its special culture, has experienced economic boom and many natural disasters. All this is reflected in the life of modern Japanese.
Instructions
Step 1
Family hierarchy
From time immemorial in Japan it was the custom that the older members of the family enjoyed great respect. This attitude has survived to this day. They always talk respectfully with elders, and after death they often hang their portraits in a conspicuous place in order to feel the presence and protection of their ancestors.
Step 2
Work
In Japan, it is customary to work in one place all your life. Moreover, in this area, continuity and respect for the older members of the family is preserved. If the father worked in a particular corporation, then it is a great honor for the son to work in the same company. And, of course, it is a shame or at least an undesirable fact - a change of job.
The Japanese work a lot and efficiently. They come in advance, leave after the end of work. They consider it their duty to complete everything to the end, and if everything has already been completed, in this way to express their respect for the company. An unusual feature is the process of discharging - beating the boss's doll. It is not accepted to wish evil for the leadership, but all your discontent must be thrown out on the doll.
Step 3
Minimalism
Japanese dwellings rarely have a lot of furniture. The Japanese usually spread their beds on the floor. They often dine sitting on pillows at a low table. But the Japanese housing is equipped with all kinds of technology. Satellite TV, robotic vacuum cleaners, air conditioners, automated home maintenance systems are all present in the lives of most Japanese people.
Step 4
Healthy lifestyle
The Japanese, on average, live almost longer than all other nations. And there is a reasonable explanation for this. Moderate healthy eating and vigorous activities contribute to longevity. The Japanese eat not only rolls. But plant and animal seafood make up a significant part of their diet.
Among other sports, the Japanese are most honored by martial arts and gymnastics. Although football is also popular among the younger generation. Industrial gymnastics is an indispensable attribute of many working Japanese people.
