imo This is true for most of East and SE Asia due to culture. Confucianism has greatly influenced most if not all of them, specifically with the importance for respecting hierarchy i.e. your parents, your bosses, or any other authority figure.
While western societies attempt to espouse this philosophy as well, imo the fundamental focus on the individual as well the tendency for constant rebellion tends to balance things out better
- mc32 8y agoI'm curious about this: " specifically with the importance for respecting hierarchy" since you imply that both NE and SE Asian countries as well as western countries "espouse" similar philosophies, which significant regions _DO NOT_ have this pattern? I mean, you write it as if there are significant exceptions.
- chaostheory 8y agoI only wrote that because I don't know much about South Asia. Western countries push this type of thinking, but imo it doesn't take well due to culture. People routinely question authority figures which is a good thing imo.
