Common Routines, Customs, and Daily Life Japan

 

            In my opinión, the people who live in Japan are disciplined and organized.  Fristly, the educations system in Japan has high level of demand.  Japaneses students have strict schedule and rules.  In the school, they emphasize discipline, responsibility and respect for all.  Hence,  Japaneses people are punctual, it is essential for them.  Also, they are very respectful with the authority figures such as parents, teachers, old people and community leaders.  Additionally, they have etiquette rules and protocol that govern social relationships.  For example,  greet, give a gift,llisten carefully to the speaker. Likewise, they follow strictly traffic rules signs and driving rules.Other  aspects that distinguish Japanese as disciplined  and organized people are that they make plans with care and detail and apply them to their daily life.  They have the culture of cleanliness and order in the streets, at school, in the house, everywhere. Finally, they have care for nature: they do not wast water, they do not smoke in the street, neither throw  trash in the street and they are the kings of recycling.  In conclusion, people in Japan live  a life with much order  and discipline due early education and observance to the rules.

   

Colombia and Japan, from my perspective are two very different worlds. To begin with, Colombia has a flexible culture and adapts to social and work situations. In the same way, punctuality is very relaxed. Often, people can arrive a few minutes late without a problem. Another aspect, the relationship with the boss, or a superior person is less rigid.  Although Colombian people value order in many situations, it can be less strict and more flexible in their daily lives. Another factor in Colombia is the difference in cleaning and order which is not emphasized as much as in Japan. In summary, Colombia is more flexible and relaxed in order and discipline in comparison to  Japan.
