    I noticed everyone in Japan was surprisingly well-behaved. I wondered if this was the punishment for those who stepped out of line.

      There’s a culture of not sticking out of the pack, and the feeling that everyone is judging you if you do. It’s sadly more about that than deep understanding of the value of civism, according to my native friends.

          I think Western cultures often value differentiating yourself from the mass, it has its stupid downsides too of course.
