READING & COMPREHENSION
This is why Japan is the politest nation on Earth
The concept of omotenashi, or selfless hospitality, is a common and compulsory of Japanese culture. It's a privilege for
a host to welcome guests and make sure all their needs are seen to. This applies in every aspect of life, in shops,
restaurants and even helping strangers in the street. This mindset has genuine effects. If you lose your wallet in Japan,
the chance of it not being stolen but instead returned to the nearest police box is almost absolutely high.
From anime to sushi, Japan leaves its cultural fingerprints all across the globe. It is known as an innovative country that
is the source of many a trend and invention. Besides all of it, they are known as the politest nation on Earth. They have
good manners which are considered acceptable by other countries.
Did you know that in some parts of the world, flashing a thumbs-up is just as bad as sticking up your middle finger? And
in Japan, it’s perfectly okay to slurp and make noises while enjoying a meal?
As n by these examples, what’s considered proper behaviour or manner in one country could be considered taboo in
another, and we live in a global world where it’s important to understand these cultural differences to know how to act
in many situations.
