Introduction
It is a concept deeply rooted in the communication and behavior style of Japanese society. This is sometimes referred to as "the virtue of compassion" and "the lack of self assertion" and "the distance of human relations". Is Japan's "culture of culture" specific to virtue or virtue of society? Let's consider both sides with concrete scene.
1. The Virtues and Social Values of "Enryo Culture"
1.1 Consideration Embodying Consideration for Others
This discretion is in consideration of others. The Japanese are trying to avoid being disturbed. For example, in the train, you should not speak loudly, and in the restaurant you adjust the volume so that the neighbors will not make noise.
1.2 role of maintaining group harmony
In order to maintain 'harmony' that Japanese society emphasizes, 'refrain' plays an important role. Instead of prioritising individual desires and opinions, it is possible to avoid conflict and friction by prioritizing collective harmony. For example, if an opinion breaks in a meeting, there are many people who think that they should refrain from their opinions and follow the opinion of the landlord, which facilitates smooth decision making.
2.A study on the problem of "distant culture"
2.1 suppression of self assertion and loss of opportunity
Excessive "hesitation" sometimes suppresses the true thoughts and ポルチオ. I think that it is impolite to say my own desires. Especially, there are not many people in the youth and the woman who feel that "culture" is obstructing the opportunity of promotion and the activity in the workplace.
2.2 the ambiguity of human relations and the confusion
It is ambiguity that human beings do not speak honestly. For example, it is not said that "this plan is a little difficult", but it does not say "direct" directly, so the partner may misunderstand the understanding of the original sound. In addition, "refusing to refrain" actually requires some help, but some say it is okay.
2.3 barriers to communication with aliens
Japanese 'distant culture' often becomes a barrier in communication with foreigners. Because the direct expression is emphasized in foreign cultures, 'the way of thinking' is' ambiguous' and 'mysterious', which may lead to misunderstanding. For example, in the business scene, if you feel free to answer this proposal, you often interpret it as "agreed" and often do trouble.
3. The modern way of thinking of the culture
3.1 the use of the 'discretion'
It is important that the 'culture' is not bad, and properly used according to the situation. In the public place where consideration is necessary to others, it is virtuous, but in the scene where the right and the opinion are asserted, excessive consideration should be avoided. For example, in the workplace, you can create a better result by saying "without reserve".
3.2 the pursuit of harmony between tradition and Modernity
Japan's "distant culture" is one of the traditional values, but in contemporary society where internationalization is advanced, harmony between tradition and contemporary is required. "Flexible refusal", which insists on self assertion when necessary, is suitable for modern Japanese society. For example, in an international conference, while maintaining a direct exchange of opinions, maintaining a "restraint" that respects the culture and position of other countries makes smooth international cooperation possible.
Conclusion
Japanese 'distant culture' has a problem as a virtue to maintain consideration of others and the sum of groups, and the problem of restraining self assertion and barriers to communication. This is not simply a "Virtue" or "problem", but it is important to use it appropriately depending on the situation or situation. In the present age of internationalization, Japan will be able to build a more open society by preserving the good parts of "culture" and improving the harmful effects of excessive restraint. In addition, the person who makes the life and the exchange in Japan can avoid the misunderstanding and build a deeper exchange by understanding the double-sided nature of this culture.
