Japanese Culture after this event and their response.

I think this is a super interesting article and thought some of you may enjoy it as well. In the wake of everything gone/going wrong over there, the Japanese people have stayed close together remaining in community rather than in "Crisis! I need to save myself!" mode.



 Article on Japan and their citizens response.

"If your home was hit by a 9.0-magnitude earthquake, a tsunami, and radiation from a nuclear power plant, you'd be forgiven for not remaining calm. Yet that's what many Japanese quake victims appear to be doing. People are forming lines outside supermarkets. Life is "particularly orderly," according to PBS. "Japanese discipline rules despite disaster," says a columnist for The Philippine Star."

  1. It's been really interesting/heartbreaking to watch all that is going on in Japan. I'm an Asian Studies major, focusing on Japan, and the way the Japanese people have been handling themselves throughout this time has reinforced exactly why I love and respect their country and culture.
