They have common decency and respect for others. Old fashioned ideals like manners and respect of the elderly, who are considered wise.

They still understand the concept of shame. Probably because they live with the whole family unit for the most part.

It’s 50 years since I was last in Tokyo, but I distinctly remember the police kiosks (koban), manned by a single policeman, but one for every neighbourhood. They were ubiquitous in those days, and Ireland could do well to copy the idea.

Japanese people are genetically disposed notcto commit violence. They also have not admitted violent ethnic groups into their country.
