3. The Japanese are very mindful to hierarchy
The Japanese have many different hierarchal systems practiced in their culture. From social hierarchies to business hierarchies, the etiquette they maintain throughout them can be a lot for a child’s mind to take in. However, a typical practice is the respect they show for their elders. Be it in a family, social or business situation, everyone is expected to know their place in the hierarchy. It is typical for children in school to address each other a certain way depending one who is younger or older. Also, in social situations, the elders are also always served first as a sign of respect, which if you haven’t noticed is something take very seriously!
