Yeah, Japan has the opposite culture, where they avoid confrontation at all costs so things rarely ever reach court (the percentage of lawyers compared to population is about 1/3 that of the US, to give you an idea). On the flipside, this same culture is what makes abuse of power so prevalent (this is why nearly every employee is forced to do overtime and to go to the business parties and never spend even a second with their families or even resting, or why there are teachers that like to force students to do things like clean toilets with their bare hands - those below in the hierarchy are never allowed to say no, even if it'd be blatantly illegal).ccovell wrote:Here's a flipside: in Japan, in many civil court cases the judge tries his utmost to get the parties involved to meet again and again, and reach an "agreement" privately, so that the case doesn't have to go to trial. This happens even in clear David vs. Goliath cases where the David is seeking redress (and would be at a disadvantage out of court). It's almost as if judges are trying to work against having a functioning legal system.
