And for most people such as myself, such process of being stuck in one’s room for weeks on end is usually a very suffocating experience. But did you know that in Japan, more than a million people have been voluntarily conducting such social isolation for months on end, and even in some cases, for decades? So what factors lead the Japanese to pursue such social reclusion that seems far more severe and intense, compared to the number of similar cases that can be found in the people from other other countries? In this video, We will try to talk about some possible causes of such concerning social phenomenon, and hopefully come to be able to partially understand the people who pursue this lifestyle, rather than just blindly rebuke them. So let’s begin the video. ———————————— Thank you so much for supporting our channel 🙏. ———————————— Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 0:50 Definition of “Hikikomori” 02:47 Fundamental Question 03:00 Seken 03:39 U.S-Japan Comparison 04:28 South Korea-Japan Comparison 05:33 Nation’s Top Private University Students= Dumb? 06:46 The “Humble” Social Norm 07:02 Professor Azuma 07:48 Different Idea Of Being “Humble” In Japan 08:38 Do They Really Think That They are “Stupid”, Though? 09:14 A Social “Script” 09:55 Is It All That Easy, Though? 10:18 A Culture That Mindf**s With Self-Esteem 11:04 Parental Influence 12:06 Little Empathy Will Go A Long Way
