When a traffic signal is red, it means “stop,” but many people in the world often ignore it, while almost all Japanese stop even in midnight, and not throwing drink cans and cigarette butts in the street or urinating at the roadsides. For the most part, Japanese are conscientious about obeying rules.
The tendency is manifested most in the workplace. There are few Japanese who do things like come late or leave early from work or stay away from the office without good reason. Japanese follow the set order of their work and do their job well.
This special character of the Japanese, who behave in conformity with the rules, is a major asset for the Japanese company in winning the international race.
