Why You MUST NEVER Stand Out in Japan

“The nail that sticks out gets hammered down”

This proverb explains the culture in Japan.I myself have experienced severe bullying and discrimination in school because I am a returnee from the U.S.

However, why is Japan like this?

First I explain about how Japanese are taught to be normal through two examples; school rules and job hunting. Then, I will introduce an interesting “scientific reason” to why Japan has such a culture.

I hope this video will be a chance for people who are suffering from being discriminated in Japan,
to deepen your understandings towards Japanese society, and hopefully relieve some of your pain.
