    There is social correlation between adherence to cultural norms and stress levels in a society. Things like safety and food availablity are stressor for sure.

    Also its the weird reason rich people break rules and dont adhere to social norms.

        Oh baby!!!

        Japan had been SO STRESSED.

        Its a fucking island. The isolation and limited outside contact made each individual essential and social harmony a necessity. These social norms were very explicit and enforced strictly.

        Back to the island. High population density and limited land is a stressed society. Internalized social shame based on dependency on the society itself being balanced and maintained manifested.

        Rapid industrilization of Japan strengthened industrialized discipline, which is a reinforcement of rules.

        Post War Japan. Atom bomb. Enough said.
