To me there's something often talked about when mentioning Japan's society. That there is heavy hivemind and conformity. People bring up Ruth Benedict's concept of shame society, the concept of Japanese "Wa" and Tatemae and Honne.
As reading about Russia history as I have recently, the Russian society closely mirrors what I've been told about Japanese society. That there is heavy emphasis of group over the individual since the beginning and the concept of Pravda and Mir, which together closely if not exactly match the Japanese society concepts.
Do you agree?
