Neutering Is Inhumane

hahaha. ha

I do so on a Monday evening when I should really learn Jus. I teach Fritzen mindless youtube, make the idiotic videos. Explanation: It's about tatemae / Honner, a behavioral approach to the Japanese culture. tatemae (public face) is virtually the mask that you can set up in order to function in society. Honne (private face) is the opposite to the true identity. In an interdependent society such as Japan plays accordingly a lot of sociality from this level. Not for nothing is this declaration concept in Japan widespread. While watching some videos that deal with the topic, I've finally found a person who argues relatively one-sided. There would be the phenomenon eventually also in other crops, except insofar as it not that big of a deal. Subsequently, I am decided to let shit get carried away again you to write a comment, which reads as follows:



hahaha WTF? so your counter-argument for japanese people being Conformists is that other people (high school kids) are the same way? So as long as others / most people are doing it, it is justified? LOL to this. really. most unreflected reasoning ever.
conformism, my friend, is a social phenomenon that - of course - allows people to "adapt", to do "the right thing", to fit in, to have trouble-free interactions, to not hurt anyone, not to march to a different drummer.
BUT conformism also makes people give up their individuality intermediately. It makes people malleable, it stops them from thinking for themselves. it deters them from being free, being who they are, at least temporarily. it is certainly the explanation for ijime in japan, and numerous issues of even bigger extent (such as war.) Furthermore there is a fluent transition between conformism and obedience. just take a look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment
What I'm trying to say is: I absolutely think you are right, tatemae / Honne exists in other cultures as well, but has no name. Nevertheless that does not justify obejctive fact in any way the problematic tendencies that come with conformism. Besides, it is a problem that is more common in group-oriented societies like Japan. uummm i hope this was understandable (I'm not a native speaker).


gaze even know if there's what comes back.
Yay! Me likey battle-ing with Wordie. Oida, where's my pizza!
