Just being on vacation in Japan for one day display differences in cultures of the world. Compared to the United States, Japan has a very peaceful and polite society. The Japanese constantly greeting and saying farewells to not only close buddies, but also complete strangers. There is a strong sense of respect that defines Japanese society. Even youngsters are taught to respect others. For example, in the elevator, a young Japanese boy yielded to allow use to exit first. I was utterly amazed. Such an act would never happen in Japan. And because the Japanese are so courteous to one another, there is little need for police action. Police presence on the streets of Tokyo is non-existent, for such a need is unnecessary. I've toured Europe, China, Taiwan, Canada, and have lived in the United States for all of my life. Never in my life have I experienced such an experience. It would be my dream the society Japan has be spread across the globe, from one end to another. The capitalistic world that the United States has created ignored respect. Big fish ruthlessly eat small fish in what is becoming a globalized world.
