Differences in values between Japanese and Europeans

Japanese and Europeans have very different values. Here are some differences:

1. Traditional respect and individual freedom: Asian countries usually respect elders, authority and traditional values. It is a part of Asian culture to respect the expectations of family and society and obey social roles and status. In contrast, European countries pay more attention to individual freedom and rights and pursue independence and independent decision-making.

2. Individualism and collectivism: Europeans pay attention to individualism and freedom, and emphasize individual rights and self-realization. Japanese people pay more attention to collectivism and social harmony, and emphasize the importance of family and community.

3. Time concept: European culture pays more attention to time efficiency and pursues high efficiency, and time is regarded as money. In contrast, Japanese culture emphasizes people-oriented and time can be controlled and used more flexibly. It should be noted that these differences are not absolute and fixed, and there may be differences in different regions, countries and people.
