Kind of ties into the concepts of guilt vs shame societies.

- johnchristopher 11y ago> The distinction between shame and guilt as methods of social control has long been recognized. Both articles cites very few sources about that distinction being useful or acknowledged by sociology. I see both articles relies heavily on « Japanese Perceptions of The Chrysanthemum and the Sword ». Is there more substance and relevance to the concept ? What does it explain ?
