Been living in Vietnam for the last five years. It's the same way here. Maybe it's the Chinese influence?

- barry-cotter 11y agoNot the Chinese influence, the Communist one. That said the morality or lack of same shown by some Chinese or Vietnamese people is far closer to the historical norm for humans than that shown by individuals in societies with rule of law. In pre state societies on average 15% of men died violently and morality was something that applied to the ingroup, not the outgroup. For further reading on this I can highly recommend Steven Pinker's "Better Angels of Our Nature". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Better_Angels_of_Our_Nature https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Better_Angels_of_Our_Natur...
- h_ar 11y agoYou sure that in Vietnam that there are hit-to-kill incidents? I thought that thing is exclusive to China. Or at least like that, since I have a few people who got hit by vehicles but only injured, drivers don't even tries to finish off.
- cageface 11y agoI was referring to the comment that family loyalties seem to be all that really count, not specifically traffic accidents.
- h_ar 11y agoFamily loyalty seems to be a Asian-centric trait, especially in Chinese. No wonder Vietnam have that similarity since they have been influenced by China for 1000 year.
