JAPAN EDGE- Exploring Japan News, Culture and Beyond with Local Perspectives and Analysis

Do Japanese need guidelines? - Trends, Norms and their Implications

The Edge, Inc. Season 1 Episode 3

Do Japanese need protocols and guidelines to live? 

Strong sense of belonging and conformity is notable in Japan and is reflected in various aspects of our culture and behaviors.

In this episode, I will explore how trends and norms are created by the mass and how they impact the society on a deeper level.  

I hope this discussion would offer fresh insights into Japan!
