Order By Accident: The Origins And Consequences Of Group Conformity In Contemporary Japan

Description

Even as the consequences of low social order are well understood, the consequences of high social order don’t seem to be. Yet possibly nowhere on this planet is social order so well developed as in Japan, which is highly organized, economically successful, and enjoys a secure society. Alternatively, Japan pays a price–the loss of personal freedom, and the inability to exploit its citizens’ talents.In Order by Twist of fate, Alan S. Miller and Satoshi Kanazawa discuss the consequences of high social order in Japan. They integrate quite a lot of scholarship on Japan, ranging from studies by criminologists, to spiritual studies, to the most current social psychological studies. The results are on occasion startling and counterintuitive, since the same theory of social order explains equally well why Japan has an orderly society with low street crimes, but is plagued with problems such as white collar crime.
