  My first experience in Japan was over 25 years ago as a volunteer in Okinawa. I quickly learned about the “humble” side of Japanese culture. I was intrigued at how parents would quickly discount the achievements of close family when talking with other people. I also came to know that it is very difficult to get access to the inner circle in Japan.
  
  My wife is from Japan and I’ve watched the impact of Japanese culture in our family and her family in Japan. From a Western perspective it is interesting to witness the inside competition among the family on who can talk down family member values more in order to not be seen as prideful or excited for family achievements.
  
  I agree with the premise of this article. Culture is an important element of lifestyle, but the impact on children and adults who are naive to culture tones can end up scarring children for life with a stigma of low self worth. We need a balance of humility and high self worth when we experience good things in life.

  たとえ冗談でも自分の家族のことをけなす表現を会話に持ち込むというのは理解できない。
  他人と比較するのもマイナスにしかならないし、「謙遜の文化」というのは優先的にぶっ壊すべき考えかと！
